  • Author: Kai
  • Total Time: 2 hours 40 minutes
  • Yield: 12 mini cheesecakes 1x

Description

A Father’s Day treat inspired by Sunday mornings and coffee-sweet nostalgia—these Mini Coffee Cheesecakes are a creamy, coffee-kissed dream with an Oreo cookie crust and a swirl of whipped cream on top. Perfectly portioned, perfectly indulgent.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 Oreo cookies (with filling), crushed
  • 5 tablespoons melted butter
  • 16 oz full-fat cream cheese, room temperature
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons espresso powder
  • ¼ cup brewed espresso (cooled)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • ⅓ cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (for whipped cream)
  • Cocoa powder (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a cupcake pan with liners.
  2. Mix crushed Oreo cookies with melted butter until moistened.
  3. Press 1 heaping tablespoon of the mixture into each liner and compact. Bake for 5 minutes, then let cool.
  4. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
  5. Add espresso powder, brewed espresso, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  6. Beat in eggs one at a time, then fold in sour cream until just combined.
  7. Pour filling evenly over the crusts in the cupcake liners.
  8. Bake 15–18 minutes until centers are set with a slight jiggle. Cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  9. Whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  10. Top each cheesecake with whipped cream, a dusting of cocoa powder, and optional chocolate-covered espresso beans.

Notes

Store in the fridge for up to 2 days or freeze (without topping) for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight and top before serving.
