Cheesecake Cups with Danish Wedding Cookie Crust


Cheesecakes with cookies on the bottom...better than graham cracker crumbs.

For cookie bottom:
  • 1 box (12 oz.) Danish Wedding cookies
  • 2 Tbsp. butter, melted
  1. Crush the cookies in a food processor, then mix with the melted butter.
  2. Line 24 cupcake liners in muffin pans. Lightly spray with no-stick cooking spray.
  3. Spoon the cookie crumbles evenly into the cupcake liners. Lightly press down and flatten with a back of spoon. Set aside.
For cheesecake filling:
  • 3 (8 oz.) packages Cream Cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cup sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 3 Tbsp. flour
  • 1 Tbsp. vanilla
  • 1 Tbsp. Lemon juice
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk cream cheese and sugar together with an electric mixer or stand mixer. Then, add one egg at a time, beat until blend. Add sour cream, flour, vanilla and lemon juice in the mixture, continue to beat on medium speed until well blend and fluffy.
  2. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cookie bottoms. 
  3. Place a pan of water on the bottom shelf of the oven. Bake the cheesecake with the water bath on the medium shelf of the oven at 300 degrees F for 30 minutes. Cool.
  4. Top with your favorite toppings, such as strawberry pie fillings, cherry, blueberry or other toppings. I placed some Red Velvet Poppers as topping.
