How thin are Oreo thins?

How do you know if cheesecake mix is thick enough?

If you aren't sure if your cheesecake mixture is too soft, or firm enough – think of the cheesecake mixture like meringue . I find that my cheesecake mixture is perfect, when I can pick a dollop up with a spoon or spatula, and the cheesecake mixture stays firm – it doesn't slide off, at all!

Why are Oreo Thins discontinued?

Mondelez has halted production of its lighter Oreo spin-off Thins following months of declining sales.

What is the difference between Oreos and Oreo Thins?

Are Oreo Thins unhealthy?

Don't buy Oreo Thins if you think you're making a "healthier" choice . An Oreo Thin runs about 35 calories per cookie. An original Oreo goes for approximately 53 calories per cookie. Is it worth 18 extra calories to eat one original Oreo -- a cookie we believe is markedly better?

What do I do if my cheesecake batter is too runny?

There are a few ways to thicken cheesecake filling. One way is to use cornstarch , which is a common thickener in many desserts. You can mix a tablespoon or two of cornstarch into your cheesecake filling mixture before baking. Another option is to use a little bit of flour or arrowroot powder.

Does no bake cheesecake thicken in the fridge?

But given time to chill all the way down to 40°F (4°C), which takes about six hours, the filling becomes firm and dense, much more like a "real" cheesecake and far easier to slice. During that time, the filling will lend some of its moisture to the crust, making it considerably less crumbly.

What is the thickening agent in cheesecake?

Almost every cheesecake recipe calls either gelatin or beaten eggs , which are used as a setting or thickening agents. The cake will not set properly if there is no egg in the preparation, and you will just have a cream cheese pudding.

Cheesecake Cups Recipe with Oreo Thin Cookies Crust (2024)

I love making easy desserts and I have a great recipe to share with you today on how to make cheesecake cups! These are the perfect dessert because you can still indulge in individual cheesecake cups without having to make an entire whole cheesecake.

The best part is this recipe only uses a few ingredients (all of them you’ll find at home).

Instead of a traditional simple graham cracker crust, I decided to use Oreo Thin cookies as crusts in the muffin tin.

In my personal opinion, I’m not sure who wants to eat Oreo Thins by themselves – the filling is the best part!!!!! Why would you decrease the amount of filling???? I’m not sure.

But, in this case, Oreo Thins are perfect as a crust for these easy cheesecake cups that you will be sure to love!

Ingredients needed for this Cheesecake Cups Recipe:

Cherry pie filling(or a fruit pie filling of your choice)
Cupcake paper liners
Cupcake baking pan with regular-size muffin cups
Electric mixer
melting chocolate (optional)
Large bowl
Piping bag (optional)
Spoon Moldto make chocolate spoons (optional)

1.Pre-heat oven to 325°F.Place cupcake liners in your muffin panand place one Oreo Thin at the bottom of each muffin liner. If you prefer a vanilla crust, vanilla wafers could be substituted. (These are much easier to use rather than graham cracker crumbs and butter than need to be pressed into the liner.)

2.Beat the cream cheese, vanilla, sugar with an electric hand mixer in a medium size bowl until smooth. Take a taste of this cream cheese filling at this point and you’ll agree at how delicious it is!!!

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 325°. Place cupcake liners in your cupcake baking pan and place one Oreo Thin at the bottom of each cupcake liner.
Beat the cream cheese, vanilla, sugar with electric hand mixer until smooth.
Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each just until blended.
Spoon your batter over the crusts. Bake 25-30 minutes or until centers are almost set. These will puff up quite a bit during baking, but will shrink back down upon cooling. As they cool, they will form an indent in the center, perfect for holding pie filling. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before adding pie filling.
If you’d like a sweet chocolate spoon accent to serve these with, then put 1 cup of melting chocolate into a microwave safe glass measuring cup and microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir and microwave again, doing this until the chocolate is melted. Pour the melted chocolate into the spoon mold. This can get a bit messy, and to ensure you get a smooth bottom, you’ll need the straight edge of a butter knife to scrape the chocolate to make it smooth and even.
You can let your chocolate spoons cool via room temperature or refrigerator. They will obviously harden faster in the refrigerator. When you pop them out of the mold, you may need to break off a bit of extra chocolate off of the edges so that it is smooth.
