# Components:
→ Crust
01 - 1 cup Oreo cookie crumbs (approximately 10–11 cookies)
02 - 2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

# Method:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
02 - Pulse Oreo cookies in a food processor until finely ground. Add melted butter and pulse until the texture resembles wet sand.
03 - Divide the crumb mixture evenly among the liners, about 1 tablespoon per cup, and press firmly with the back of a spoon or small glass.
04 - Using an electric mixer, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
05 - Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition, then add vanilla extract and combine thoroughly.
06 - Gradually mix in neon green gel food coloring until the desired shade is achieved.
07 - Spoon approximately 1/4 cup of cheesecake batter into each liner, nearly filling them to the top.
08 - Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, until centers are mostly set but still slightly jiggly.
09 - Remove from oven, cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm.
10 - Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and festive or red heart sprinkles as desired.
