Pumpkin Oreo Cheesecakes
I'm not much of a recipe blogger, but these were too good not to share. AND they are a great dessert to make with toddlers which is a plus if you've got a little one that ALWAYS WANTS TO HELP. :)
I found this recipe on a couple of blogs just before Thanksgiving. I don't have any delightful "after" pics, but let the pics over on Inside BruCrew Life and Moogie and Pap tantalize you. They sure tantalized me.
- Ask them to line the tin with the muffin cups.
- Start working on the recipe while they are busy with the muffin cup business.
- When they're done lining the tin(s), instruct them to place one Oreo in the bottom of each of the cups.
- While they're busy continue working on the batter.
- Don't get mad if they sneak a few Oreos. But plan for this and buy an extra package or you won't have enough Oreos to finish the recipe (learned this the hard way!)
- Pour the batter 3/4 full in each of the cups over the Oreos.
- Let them drop an extra Oreo on top of the batter of each one and help them g-e-n-t-l-y push it in.
- Bake.
- Cool.
- Whip cream 'em (the cheesecakes, not the kids).
- ENJOY!

those look delicious!
i really appreciate your instructions for kiddo helpers. i've been trying to bake with my best friend's twins this week, and it's a whole different world that i need to learn more about! :)
I know! When I have the patience and time (aka if my 16 month old is ASLEEP when we do some baking), I measure out all the ingredients ahead of time and let her pour them in and do some of the mixing. But with these we were under a time crunch and she seemed satisfied taking care of the Oreo part. Kept her QUITE busy . . . probably because she was snacking a bit. LOL
Come to think of it, however, she did ask me after I put them in the oven, "When are we going to make the cheesecakes?" Should have let her stir it one time around before I poured them in the cups. ;)
Do you have a picture of them when completed? These SOUND delicious!
HH - I don't. You can't take a true after picture until you put the whip cream on and both of the times we were bringing them to someone else's home to be served there and I forgot my camera. :P Here's a great pic of what they look like though (courtesy of Inside BruCrew Life): http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-C_4h8r_w6M/TL2CWPBBL3I/AAAAAAAABt4/fTf2TZjZZpw/s400/final+final+oreo+cheesecake.jpg
PUMPKIN? And OREO? And CHEESECAKE???? Can this really be real? My three favorite things all in one delicious treat. Wow. That's amazing!!!
I know, right? That's what I thought when I came across this. Instantly I was like, "I need to make this IMMEDIATELY." And I'm not much of a baker usually so that's saying something! Oh . . . and they're so worth it too. Completely yummy, and I ate way too many of them. ;)
