Description
Mini Pillsbury Cookie Cheesecakes are individual creamy cheesecakes with cookie dough bases, topped with whipped cream and a cookie.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (9 oz) package Pillsbury Pumpkin Shape Cookie Dough (20 pre-cut cookies)
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1/3 cup sour cream, room temperature
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups cold heavy cream
- 1/4 cup confectioners sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with 10 liners. Arrange oven racks to upper and lower thirds.
- Place one cookie dough round in each muffin liner. Place remaining 10 cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake both trays for 12–14 minutes, rotating halfway. Cool completely.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar until fluffy (2–3 minutes). Add egg, sour cream, and vanilla, beating until smooth.
- Divide cheesecake filling evenly among muffin cups over the cookie bases.
- Bake cheesecakes for 16–18 minutes until set. Cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Whip heavy cream and confectioners sugar together until stiff peaks form.
- Top each cheesecake with whipped cream and a reserved cookie. Serve chilled.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter after adding the egg to prevent cracks.
- Let cheesecakes chill fully before topping or serving.
- Use a piping bag for neat whipped cream topping.
- Swap sour cream with Greek yogurt or heavy cream with coconut cream for dietary needs.
- Use any flavor of cookie dough for variety.
