Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup Oreo crumbs
3 tablespoons butter melted
16 ounces cream cheese room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs room temperature
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven and prep the pan. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line 1 muffin pan with cupcake liners.
Make the crust. In a mixing bowl, combine the oreo crumbs and melted butter. Divide the oreo mixture evenly into the muffin tin. Press the mixture firmly to make the crust.
Blend the cheesecake ingredients. In a bowl of a stand mixer combine cream cheese and sugar, and beat for 2 minutes. Add eggs, peanut butter, and almond extract until smooth and fluffy. Divide the cheesecake mixture on top of the oreo crust in the muffin tin.
Bake. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheesecakes begin to brown. Let the cheesecakes cool.
Serve. Serve the cheesecakes with a sprinkle of crushed Oreos on top.

Notes

If you don't have a food processor, you can buy chocolate graham crumbs or even Oreo crumbs already crushed for you at most grocery stores.

Make sure the cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature when you begin. This helps the batter to be smooth and lump-free.

When creating the crust, firmly press the Oreo mixture into the muffin tin cups. You can use your fingers or a small round glass. Just make sure to push it down firmly.

When you add the eggs, peanut butter, and almond extract, mix until just combined. If you overmix cheesecake batter, it can become deflated, and your cheesecakes can end up dense and dry.

Give your cheesecakes time to cool completely before removing them from the muffin tin. This helps them set and prevents them from falling apart.
