- 60 g heavy cream
- 2 eggs

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 150°Celsius. Place cupcake casings into a cupcake tray to prepare for the crust.
- Process Oreo cookies into fine crumbs with the filling. Transfer to a bowl, add melted butter, and mix until moistened.

- Scrape the bowl, then add eggs and vanilla extract, beating for 20 seconds until smooth.
- Gently fold in heavy cream until fully incorporated.
- Divide the batter into two smaller bowls, adding green food coloring to one and red food coloring to the other.
- Pour batter into prepared cupcake casings, starting with plain batter, and alternate red and green batters. Create a marbled effect with a skewer.
- Bake at 150°Celsius for 20 minutes, placing a dish of water in the oven for moisture.
- Leave cheesecakes in the oven for an additional 5 minutes after baking.
- Cool for 15 minutes on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Once chilled, carefully peel off cupcake casings.
- Top with whipped cream and sprinkles before serving.
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
Notes
- For best results, avoid overbeating the batter to prevent excess air.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of food coloring to achieve your desired color intensity.
