Crust
Cheesecake Filling
- 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 oz white chocolate, melted
Toppings
- Raspberry sauce or canned raspberry pie filling
- 15 large candy eyes
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the cheesecakes.
- Prepare Cupcake Tins: Line 15 cupcake tin cavities with cupcake liners to prevent sticking.
- Add Oreo Base: Place one Oreo cookie at the bottom of each lined cupcake tin to form the crust.
- Mix Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together with a hand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, ensuring a smooth base for the cheesecake.
- Add Eggs, Vanilla, and White Chocolate: Incorporate the eggs, vanilla extract, and melted white chocolate into the cream cheese mixture. Continue beating until everything is fully blended and creamy.
- Fill Cupcake Liners: Using a large scoop or spoon, distribute about 1/4 cup of the cheesecake batter evenly over each Oreo cookie in the cupcake liners.
- Bake Cheesecakes: Bake in the oven for 17 to 20 minutes. The cheesecakes should puff up and retain a slight jiggle in the center when done. Remember to rotate the pans halfway through baking to ensure even cooking.
- Chill Overnight: Once baked, transfer the cheesecakes to the refrigerator and chill overnight to set properly and develop full flavor.
- Decorate and Serve: Before serving, top each cheesecake with a spoonful of raspberry sauce to resemble blood and place one large candy eye on top to create the eerie eyeball effect.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for the best texture in your batter.
- Do not overbake the cheesecakes; they should have a slight jiggle in the center to stay creamy.
- Substitute fresh raspberry sauce if preferred for a fresher flavor.
- Use high-quality white chocolate for a smoother, more flavorful filling.
- For an extra spooky touch, try using red gel food coloring mixed with the raspberry sauce.
