Equipment

Mini Muffin Tin
Mini Muffin Liners
Medium Mixing Bowl (2)

Ingredients

18 oreos finely crushed
3 Tablespoons butter melted
16 ounces cream cheese 2 ( 8 ounce) packages, softened
2 eggs
¾ cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon lemon juice
½ cup pecan halves
1 cup fudge topping
1 cup caramel topping
48 mini muffin liners

Instructions

Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine crushed Oreos and melted butter, and press mixture in the bottom of each liner.
In another bowl mix together cream cheese, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice until light and fluffy. Spoon the cream cheese mixture into each liner, filling it almost to the top.
Bake for 15 minutes.
Let cool completely, and then refrigerate for at least an hour. Top each with pecan halves, and drizzle with fudge and caramel toppings.

Notes

These cheesecakes freeze extremely well. I recommend freezing the cheesecakes without the toppings and caramel and chocolate syrup.

To freeze, place them in an airtight container, and make sure they are laid evenly in the freezer, not at a slant.

They will be good in the freezer for about 2 weeks.

To thaw, place them in the fridge for about 12-24 hours. You will then want to top them with the caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, and nuts.

We do not recommend freezing them with the toppings. They just won’t look as great, or have as good of a texture.
