Remove Oreo Filling: Be sure when you are making the crust and the crushed Oreos for the inside of the cakes, you remove the filling from the Oreos. The filling can alter the texture and keep your mini cheesecakes from turning out properly.Allow Time to Chill: This recipe is so simple and quick to make, just be sure you give yourself enough time to allow them to cool completely before enjoying.
