# What You’ll Need:

→ Crust

01 - 1 cup Oreo cookie crumbs (approximately 10–11 cookies)
02 - 2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

# How to Make It:

02 - Pulse Oreo cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Add melted butter and pulse until the mixture resembles wet sand.
03 - Divide the crumb mixture evenly among the liners, approximately 1 tablespoon each, and press firmly to create the crust base.
04 - In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
05 - Add eggs one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition, then blend in vanilla extract.
06 - Gradually add neon green gel food coloring until the desired vibrant shade is achieved.
07 - Spoon about 1/4 cup of cheesecake batter into each liner, filling nearly to the top.
08 - Bake for 15 to 17 minutes until the centers are mostly set but retain a slight jiggle.
09 - Remove from oven, cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours until firm.
10 - Optionally, top with whipped cream and festive sprinkles before serving.
