Ingredients

  • 12 Golden Oreo Cookies
  • 12 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
  • cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup sour cream, room temperature
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

Blueberry Sauce

  • ½ cup wild blueberries, frozen or fresh (can also use regular blueberries)
  • 2 Tbsp water
  • 3 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 275 degrees.
  • Place cupcake liners in a 12-cavity muffin tin and place an Oreo cookie in the bottom of each.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add sugar and beat until combined.
  • Add sour cream, egg, vanilla, lemon juice, and lemon zest and blend until combined. Fold in blueberries.
  • Spoon cheesecake batter evenly over cookies in muffin tin, filling almost all the way to the top.
  • Bake for 22-24 minutes, until cheesecakes are set. Remove from oven and rest tin on a baking rack until cool. Then, place in fridge for at least 2 hours before removing cheesecake cups from tin and cupcake liners.
  • Before serving, top cheesecake cups with whipped cream and blueberry sauce, if desired.

Blueberry Sauce

  • Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  • Let mixture come to a boil and then reduce to a simmer and let cook for about 6-7 minutes, until blueberries have burst and mixture is syrupy.
  • Pour sauce into jar or bowl and let cool completely before using on cheesecake cups.

Notes

Prep time does not include 2 hours chill time that the cheesecake cups require.
