Welcome!

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

No-bake Mini Oreo Cheesecakes

I love mini desserts! And I love cheesecake. So I decided to break this recipe down to fulfill both needs. Because, let’s face it...everyone needs mini cheesecakes in their life. These are so easy and yummy. This recipe only makes a dozen so it was great to have them on hand to throw in IT Guy’s lunch throughout the week and handy for me to grab one when I NEEDED one. Try these for a quick and simple treat!



No-bake Mini Oreo Cheesecakes
1 8-ounce package cream cheese ~ room temperature
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 14-ounce package Oreo cookies
Place 12 cupcake liners into a cupcake tin.
Place 1 Oreo cookie into each liner.
In a food processor, pulse the remaining Oreo cookies until crumbly/chunky.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, cream cheese and vanilla on medium until smooth.
Add the sour cream and whipping cream and beat on high until thick and smooth....about 5 minutes.
Reserving 1 cup of the crumbs, pour remaining Oreo crumbs into the cheesecake batter and stir to combine.
Spoon batter into each of the prepared cupcake liners, filling each liner to the top.
Cover and chill for several hours or until firm.
Serve with whipping cream and sprinkle with reserved Oreo crumbs.
