Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1 cup Oreo crumbs
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling
  • 12 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 0.5 cup light brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp flour
  • 0.5 cup sour cream
  • 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 0.75 cup chopped rolos
Whipped Cream Topping
  • 0.5 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 3 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp natural unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
Garnish
  • Caramel sauce
  • Chocolate sauce
  • Rolos

Method
 

Crust
  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (162°C). Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
  2. Combine the Oreo crumbs and melted butter. Divide the mixture between the cupcake liners (about 1 tablespoon per cup) and press into the bottoms.
  3. Bake crusts for 5 minutes, then remove from oven and let cool while you make the filling.
Cheesecake Filling and Topping
  1. Reduce oven temperature to 300°F (148°C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese, brown sugar, and flour until combined. Use a low speed to keep less air from getting into the batter, which can cause cracks. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  3. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract. Beat on low speed until well combined.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating slowly and scraping the sides of the bowl after each addition. Gently fold in the rolos.
  5. Divide the batter between the cupcake liners, filling most of the way.
  6. Bake cheesecakes for 13 minutes, then turn off the oven and leave the door closed for another 10 minutes.
  7. Crack the oven door and allow cheesecakes to cool for 15-20 minutes, then refrigerate to finish cooling.
  8. Once the cheesecakes are cooled and firm, prepare the whipped cream. Add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract to a mixer bowl fitted with the whisk attachment and whip on high speed until stiff peaks form.
  9. Pipe swirls on top of each cheesecake, then drizzle with caramel and chocolate sauce and top with half of a rolo. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

Garnish with caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, and a half Rolo for an extra touch of decadence.
