Notes

This recipe was updated 09/06/2021 for smaller batch or Oreo cheesecake cupcakes, from 24 pieces to 12 pieces. 
Oreo crumbs or Oreo cookies. I rather work with Oreo crumbs, because they are easier to manipulate. But you can also use Oreo cookies to make the crumbs. Some prefer to remove the cream from the cookies, before making the crumbs, so prefer to keep it. If you won't be removing the cream in between the cookies for the Oreo crust, you might not need to use that much of a melted butter. Try first 1 tablespoon of melted butter and if the crust has a texture of wet sand than you don't need to use the second tablespoon, as written in the recipe.
