How to Make Mini Snowman Cheesecakes
- Start by preheating the oven to 350°F and lining a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Place a vanilla Oreo at the bottom of each liner for the crust.
- Blend softened cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth, being careful not to overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly into the liners and bake until set.
- Once cooled and chilled in the fridge, decorate each cheesecake with black sprinkles for eyes and mouth and half an orange M&M for the nose to create festive little snowmen.
Flavor Variations: Try adding peppermint extract for a festive touch, or almond extract for a nutty twist.
Decoration Tip: Use tweezers or a toothpick to place the sprinkles for the eyes and mouth—it makes decorating much easier!
Absolutely! These mini cheesecakes keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days, so they’re perfect for prepping ahead.
No, you can swap Oreos for a graham cracker crust, Nilla wafers or other cookies if you prefer a different flavor.
Yes! Wrap them individually and freeze for up to 2 months. Just be sure to add the snowman decorations after thawing.
