Mini Oreo Cheesecakes

Every time I asked one of my friends what he wanted me to bake, he always said Oreo cheesecake.  Well, I don't have a springform pan, let alone room for a water bath in my tiny oven.  Cheesecakes can be very temperamental even in the best conditions, not to mention not very easy to transport.  A cheesecake is big and bulky and needs to be refrigerated.  Then it hit me.  Miniature single serving cheesecakes in my muffin pan.  I've done it before.  I knew it would work.

I really wanted to try one of these, but they disappeared before I got a chance to sink my teeth into one.  I was so disappointed.  The friend who requested them ate three.  Everybody wanted one, and everybody exclaimed how delicious they were.  I guess I'll just have to take their word for it and use my imagination.  I'll have to be quicker next time.

Mini Oreo cheesecakes are perfect for a picnic.  They're already portioned so you don't have to transport a whole cheesecake.  They're small enough that they won't weigh you down so you're ready for some ultimate Frisbee afterward.  Or if moderation's not your thing, you could always eat three of them.  Who's gonna stop you?
