¼ c. Truvia (or ½ c. regular sugar)
2 eggs
½ teaspoon vanilla
12 Oreo cookies
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Put a paper liner in each muffin cup. Place an Oreo cookie at the bottom of each cup. (Check the notes section below for an Oreo crust variation!)
In a mixing bowl combine the cream cheese, Greek yogurt and Truvia. Beat the mixture until it becomes smooth and well-blended.
Add the vanilla. Mix again.
One by one add the eggs. Thoroughly mix after each addition.
Using either a cookie scoop or an ice cream scoop place one scoop of the cheesecake batter on top of each Oreo cookie.
Put the muffin tin in your oven. Bake for about 20 minutes. Keep an eye, on them to make sure the cheesecakes don’t rise much; gently press them down if necessary.
Take out the cheesecakes from the oven. Let them cool completely.
Gently remove the muffin liners to reveal the luscious chocolatey Oreo crust. Now is when you can truly enjoy these cheesecake bites!
