- 10 OREO cookies
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 2 8 ounce packages PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup +1 teaspoon sugar, divided
- 1/4 cup +1/2 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder, divided
- 2 eggs
- 2-4 ounces BAKER'S semi-sweet chocolate depending on the size of your handles
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
Heat oven to 325°F.
Pulse Oreo in a food processor until you have a crumb texture. Combine cookie crumbs and butter; press onto bottoms of 12 paper-lined regular-size muffin cups. Bake 8 min.
Beat cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 cup cocoa powder in medium bowl with mixer until blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each just until blended. Spoon over crusts.
Bake 22 to 25 min. or until centers are almost set. Cool completely. Refrigerate 2 hours.
Meanwhile, make the chocolate handles. Cover a baking sheet with parchment. Melt semi-sweet chocolate as directed on package, then spoon it into resealable plastic bag. Cut a small piece off one bottom corner of bag. Squeeze the chocolate into 12 handle shapes on the prepared baking sheet. Freeze until ready to use.
Remove paper liners from cheesecakes. Beat cream and remaining sugar in separate medium bowl with mixer on high speed until soft peaks form; spoon onto cheesecakes. Sprinkle with remaining cocoa powder; top with marshmallows (we even added crushed candy canes for an extra flair). Gently press chocolate handle into side of each cheesecake.
