Oreo Cheese Cakettes

My husband loves cheesecake, my son love Oreo's .. this is a quick and simple recipe that makes both of them happy. Also, If you have never made a cheesecake before this might be the easiest, simplest, and fastest cheesecake you will ever make. 

What you need:

19 OREO Cookies, divided into 12 and then 7 for pieces

2 pkg. (8 oz. each) Cream Cheese, softened

½ cup sugar

½ cup Sour Cream

½ tsp.  vanilla

2  eggs

What you do:

1. 1. HEAT oven to 350°F.
2. 2. PLACE a cupcake wrapper in each pocket in a 12 muffin tin. Put 1 cookie in each of 12 paper-lined muffin cups. Take the left over seven (7) cookies and place in a Ziploc bag. Cover with a kitchen towel and beat mercilessly. Or give them to your toddler to break apart... although death by toddler is a cruel death for a cookie. 
3. 3.BEAT cream cheese and sugar in large bowl with mixer until blended. Add sour cream and vanilla; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating on low speed after each just until blended. Stir in chopped cookies. Spoon into muffin cups.
4. 4. BAKE 20 min. or until centers are almost set. Cool. Refrigerate 3 hours.
5. 5. REMOVE cheesecakes from muffin pan. Serve with blue berries, strawberries and whipped cream. You can even add little American Flags for giggles.

As always much love, many blessings, and happy baking. 

Oreo Truffles

This is less of a recipe and more of a concoction  but it is a lovely and delicious concoction  I needed something bite-size I could bring to a Super Bowl Party. My son loves Oreo's and who doesn't love chocolate... so here you go.

What you need:
1 package of Oreo's
1 8 oz package of cream cheese softened at room temperature
Melted chocolate

What you do:

1. In an food processor chop up the Oreo's. Add the cream cheese and cream together until it is one mashed up deliciousness. 
2. Form balls with a small ice cream scoop. Freeze on a large sheet pan and once frozen (about an hour) roll in the melted chocolate and allow to harden. If you would like to decorate feel free to add sprinkles or drizzle a different color of chocolate. 
3. You can eat them straight away, or you can store in the refrigerator for a week or in the freezer for two months. 

Enjoy with milk and football.
