Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C) and prepare a cupcake pan with liners and non-stick spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine Oreo cookie crumbs with melted butter and mix until sandy. Divide mixture among cupcake liners and press firmly.
- Bake the crusts in the oven for 5 minutes until lightly set, then cool while preparing the filling.
- Lower the oven temperature to 300°F (148°C). In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, granulated sugar, and flour until smooth using a mixer.
- Blend in sour cream and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing slowly after each to maintain a creamy texture.
- Divide the batter into three bowls. Color one with yellow gel food coloring and another with orange.
- Layer the colored batter into each liner: start with yellow, then orange, and finally the uncolored batter.
- Bake filled cupcake pan for about 15 minutes until the edges are set with a slight jiggle in the center. Cool in the oven with the door closed for 10 minutes.
- Allow cheesecakes to cool for 15-20 minutes before transferring to the refrigerator to chill completely.
- Once chilled, remove the cheesecakes from the cupcake pan and peel away the liners.
- Whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, and add food coloring if desired.
- Pipe whipped cream onto each mini cheesecake and decorate as desired.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve.

Notes
Chill before serving for best texture. Avoid overmixing the filling to prevent cracks and ensure distinct layers.
