Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a cupcake pan with liners.
In a food processor, pulse about 10-11 Oreos into crumbs, then mix in melted butter until combined.
Evenly distribute the crumb mixture into each liner and press down firmly.
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth, then beat in the eggs and vanilla.
Add red food coloring to achieve the desired pink hue.
Spoon about 1/4 cup of the mixture into each cup, filling evenly.
Bake for 15-17 minutes, until the centers are slightly jiggly.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate until firm.
Top with whipped cream and sprinkles if desired.

Notes

These cheesecakes are best served chilled after firming in the fridge.
Feel free to adjust the amount of food coloring to achieve your preferred shade of pink.
For a fun twist, try using different types of cookies for the crust.
