Method
For the Mini Cheese Cakes
- 01Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with 16 paper liners and place an Oreo in the each liner.
- 02Use a mixer or beater to beat the cream cheese until just smooth.
- 03Add flour, beat for 5 seconds.
- 04Add vanilla, sour cream, sugar, and lemon zest. Beat until just combined.
- 05Add eggs one at a time, beat in between until combined.
- 06Chop or crush 16 Oreo cookies and fold into the batter.
- 07Spoon the batter into the liners. They should be about 2/3 full.
- 08Bake for 14-16 minutes or until the middles are set.
- 09Remove from the tins and cool at room temperature for 30 minutes. After place in the fridge and cool for at least 2 hours.
For the Whipped Topping
- 01Chill your mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for 30 minutes to help this whipped cream frosting whip up better.
- 02Place 1 block of cold cream cheese into the chilled mixing bowl and mix on a medium-low speed until smooth.
- 03Pour in 1 cup of powdered sugar, and mix on low at first to avoid powdered sugar explosions. Increase the speed to medium-high once the powdered sugar is incorporated, and mix for about 1 minute. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed throughout this process.
- 04Add in 1 tsp of vanilla extract, then turn the mixer to a medium-high speed and gradually pour in 2 1/2 cups of cold heavy cream. I like to do this in about 4 additions and focus on pouring the heavy cream down the side of the bowl to prevent it from splattering.
- 05Watch the mixture closely once the heavy cream is fully mixed in. It should thicken and take shape shortly after this. Take care not to over-mix your whipped cream frosting!
- 06Add to a piping bag with a large tip and generously top all of the mini cheese cakes.
- 07Optionally, decorate with any remaining Oreo cookies.
