Make sure to chill the cheesecake mixture thoroughly, as this will help it set properly and give it a smooth texture.
A common mistake is overmixing the batter, which can lead to a dense cheesecake – mix just until combined.
For a pro upgrade, try using a high-quality chocolate for the drizzle on top.
The cheesecakes are done when the edges are set and the centers are just slightly jiggly.
You can make these ahead of time and store them in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

Variations and Substitutions

For a gluten-free swap, try using gluten-free Oreos, and for a protein swap, you could use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. For a bold flavor twist, add a teaspoon of mint extract to the cheesecake mixture.

These cheesecakes will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days, stored in an airtight container. To reheat, simply microwave for 10-15 seconds or until warmed through. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months – just thaw overnight in the fridge.
