With currently 34 boards and over 1700 pins, it was time I finally took the plunge.
It was time that I actually made something that I found on Pinterest.
I did and it was awesome, but don’t take my word for it…
Last Saturday night I had Cheryl, Deb, Monique and Morgan over to enjoy several glasses of wine have a BlogHer post mordem and with my husband out of town, Lucas served as my co-host. Dinner was ordered over the phone, everyone brought wine and I made dessert.
Behold Oreo Cookie Cheesecakes:
(From Martha Stewart’s Cupcakes)
This is HUGE for me because I don’t cook or bake, nor do I take very good photos of food. Please visit La Mia Vita Dolce for proper magazine style shots that will make you drool.
The recipe:
Makes 30
- 42 Oreo, cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies, 30 left whole and 12 coarsely chopped
- 2 pounds cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten
- 1 cup sour cream
- Pinch of salt
- Preheat oven to 275° F. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners. Place 1 whole Oreo cookie in the bottom of each lined muffin cup.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese on medium-high speed until smooth, scraping down sides of the bowl as needed. Gradually add the sugar, and beat until combined. Beat in the vanilla.
- Drizzle in eggs, a little at a time, beating to combine and scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Add in sour cream and salt, beat to combine. Using a large spatula, fold in the chopped Oreo cookies.
- Divide batter evenly among the cookie-filled muffin cups, fill each cup almost to the top. Bake, rotating muffin tins halfway through, until the filling is set, about 22 to 28 minutes. Transfer the muffins tins to a wire rack to cool completely. Refrigerate (in the muffin tins) at least 4 hours (or overnight).
- Add a dollop of whipped cream and a mini Oreo for the coup de gras.
I defy you not to love these.
And if you’re not on Pinterest yet, what are you waiting for?! It’s super fun.
Julie of Dutch Being Me has come up with a fun idea called 52 Weeks of Pinterest, challenging everyone to do just one thing each week inspired by a pin they found on Pinterest. Check it out! The challenge begins the first full week of September and I am definitely participating.

I haven’t been on pinterest in like a month. But oddly enough, most of my posts are desserts.
And people? These were DELISH!! Make them. Immediately.

I’m glad you enjoyed them. Pinterest is like crack to be and now, so are these cheesecakes!
That does look and sound delicious!! I’ve made a few things I found on Pinterest too!
It was my first time and I was NOT disappointed!
WHO had the patience and decorum to eat this with a fork? I would devour these, I tell you! Hope your hubby is home safe and sound.
He is, thank you so much! I am a happy girl. 🙂
And the fork was only the photo.
I have found amazing recipes on Pinterest!! I also found The Pioneer Woman because of Pinterest 🙂
Those look amazing by the way.
Do yourself a favor and make them… they are the perfect summer evening treat. And besides, who doesn’t LOVE Oreos?
I tried to bake them… but failed!!!! I’ll try again!
You made me discover these fabulous little crunchy, delicious, amazing cookies ages ago, and I have been addicted since 🙂
I’m the same way…I never actually make anything! I might have to try that challenge.
It’s a cool idea, huh? Great motivator for me.
Yum! Yum! OMG YUM!!!! I am so proud and envious….since I am no baker/cook/ maker of stuff..I’m sure they were delish!!!!!
I am all thumbs in the kitchen, so I was pretty proud of myself too. But, if I can make these, so can you!
Oh yumm.. and I just bought a new package of oreos.
There you go! If you end up making them, let me know.
Yum!!! Pinterest has the best ideas!
I heart Pinterest. I’m completely totally addicted!
Yum! After seeing all the dessert pins last night I am dying for something chocolate.
The 52 weeks thing sounds great!
Isn’t that such a great idea? I’m going to try it. You should. 🙂 Loved some of your pins last night, by the way.
I am making my first Pinterest recipe this week! I thought the same thing – might as well try some of this stuff I’m pinning.
Those cheesecakes look heavenly.
Trust me, they are. And dangerously easy to make.
These look so good and I love cheesecake. I will only make these when I am sure to have lots of people to eat them otherwise I would eat most of the batch.
And I’m pinning your recipe for them :).
I happened to have this screen open and my daughter just demanded these for her birthday. Tomorrow.
Sounds like such a fun night with the girls. I wish I lived closer so I could have joined.
