Method
Step-by-Step
- Heat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
- Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs, combine them with melted butter, and divide the mixture among the liners. Press about 1 tablespoon into each cup, bake for 5 minutes, and cool briefly.
- Melt the chopped white chocolate gently over barely simmering water or in short microwave intervals. Stir until smooth and let it cool until lukewarm.
- Beat the softened cream cheese and sugar on medium-low speed until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing only until incorporated, then mix in the sour cream, vanilla, and salt.
- Blend in the lukewarm white chocolate until the filling is smooth. Divide the batter among the crusts, filling each nearly to the top.
- Bake for approximately 18–22 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers still have a slight wobble. Cool in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before removing the liners and serving.
Notes
Use real white chocolate made with cocoa butter rather than confectionery coating or white baking chips. Do not overbake; the centers should look slightly under-set and will firm as they chill. Overnight chilling is best.
