Oreo Red Velvet Cheesecake

• 13 oreos crushed
• 1 tablespoon butter melted
• 12 ounces cream cheese
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon sour cream
• 3 tablespoons cocoa powder unsweetened
• 1 egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 teaspoons red food coloring

1. For the crust, preheat oven to 350F.
2. Combine Oreo crumbs and butter in a large bowl.
3. Place a heaping tablespoon of Oreo mixture into the bottom of a mini-cheesecake pan. Press down with your fingers to pack tightly.
4. Bake for 5 minutes, then remove and let cool slightly.
5. For the filling, reduce oven to 325 F.
6. Combine cream cheese and sugar in an electric mixer on medium speed.
7. Add sour cream, cocoa, egg, vanilla to combine. Carefully pour in red food coloring.
8. Pour batter on top of Oreo crust and fill about 2/3 to the top. Bake 15 minutes. The cheesecakes should be relatively firm.
9. Refrigerate in baking cups at least 1 hour. Once your cheesecakes have cooled, you should be able to lift them from the tray without damaging them.
10. NOTE: can also make one large cheesecake from this, just adjust the cooking time for the filling. Everything else is the same :)
