- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp. alcohol-free vanilla
- 1/4 tsp. mint extract
- Optional: Green food coloring
For the Oreo Crust

- 1 tbsp. melted butter
Once you have gathered all your ingredients, it’s time to make the recipe
- Make the Oreo Crust: Place the Oreos into a food processor and pulse until a fine Oreo crumb is reached. (You can also place the cookies in a plastic storage bag and crush them with a rolling pin). Then, combine the cookie crumbs and melted butter in a small bowl and mix with a spoon to combine. Set aside.
- Whisk together cream cheese and sugar: Take your room temp cream cheese and sugar and slowly whisk together until combined.
- Add vanilla and mint extract: Stir in the alcohol-free vanilla & mint extract, and mix well.
- Whip the Cream: Pour the heavy cream into a bowl, then, using a mixer, mix until stiff peaks begin to form.
- Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture: Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese and sugar mixture.
- Assemble the Cheesecake shooters: Place the mixture into a piping bag and assemble the cheesecake shooters by alternating oreo crust and cheesecake layers.
- Let Chill: Place the cheesecake cups into the fridge for at least one hour (2-3 is recommended) to chill before serving.
- Garnish and Serve: Add an entire mint oreo to the top of each cheesecake (if desired). Serve and enjoy!
