Ingredients
Scale
12 chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos), finely crushed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup sour cream
1 cup chopped Kit Kat bars (plus extra for topping)
Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
In a small bowl, mix crushed cookies and melted butter. Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each muffin liner to form the crust.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Mix in vanilla extract and sour cream until well combined.
Fold in chopped Kit Kat bars.
Divide the cheesecake batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling nearly to the top.
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until centers are just set. Let cool in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Top with whipped cream and additional Kit Kat pieces if desired.
Notes
Use mini cupcake liners for bite-sized versions.
For a chocolatey twist, drizzle with melted chocolate before serving.
