Description

Mini Monster Cookie Cheesecakes are a fun and colorful dessert that combines the flavors of peanut butter, chocolate chips, and M&M candies with a rich, creamy cheesecake base in a bite-sized treat.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 12 chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup mini M&M candies
  • Additional mini M&Ms and chocolate chips for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Place one chocolate sandwich cookie in the bottom of each muffin liner to serve as the crust.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add peanut butter and mix until well combined.
  5. Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
  6. Fold in mini chocolate chips and mini M&Ms.
  7. Spoon the cheesecake mixture evenly over the cookie bases in the muffin cups.
  8. Top each with additional M&Ms and chocolate chips if desired.
  9. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until centers are set. Cool completely in the pan.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother batter.
  • These can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge.
  • You can freeze extras in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
