Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with festive liners.
  2. Pulse 10-11 Oreos in a food processor until they resemble fine crumbs and mix with melted butter until it resembles wet sand.
  3. Evenly divide the crumb mixture among the cupcake liners and press down firmly to create a compact crust.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture, mixing well until thoroughly combined.
  6. Incorporate the neon green food coloring into the cream cheese mixture until you achieve the desired hue.
  7. Spoon approximately 1/4 cup of the green filling into each Oreo crust.
  8. Bake for 15-17 minutes, watching closely for slight jiggliness in the center.
  9. Allow to cool completely in the pan before transferring to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.
  10. Serve topped with whipped cream and festive sprinkles.
