Ha! We make protein shakes every morning... frozen strawberries,1% milk and soy protein, couldn't do it without our blender!
Oatmeal can be pretty scary- just don't buy the microwave packets... TOTALLY different texture. If you get the traditional cook stuff - it's kinda nutty and good.

adapted from Picky Palate
1 sleeve Thin Mint Cookies, ground in food processor or blender (or Mint Oreos)
3 Tablespoons melted butter
8 oz softened cream cheese (Neufchatel reduced fat works great)
1/2 Cup sugar
1 egg
2 Tablespoons Sour Cream or Butter Milk
5 Thin mint cookies coarsely crumbled
1/4 Cup Chocolate, chopped
3 Tablespoons heavy cream
6 Thin mint cookies, crumbled (for top of cups)
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Combine ground cookies and butter in a medium bowl. Drop about 1 Tablespoon of cookie mixture into 24 mini cupcake tins prepared with liners. Press crust into cups with back of a spoon.
In an electric or stand mixer cream the cream cheese and sugar until well combined. Add egg and sour cream until well combined as well. Stir in crumbled cookies. Pour cheesecake mixture into cupcake tins filled almost to the very top. Bake for 25-28 minutes or until cooked through. Remove and cool for 15 minutes. Melt chocolate in microwave on very low heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Stir in heavy cream until smooth and shiny. Spoon over each cheesecake cup and sprinkle with additional crumbled cookies.
These are perfect portion controlled bites! I love the way they look... No wonder you had to fight them off with a spatula!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're feeling better. Strep made its way through my classroom. I keep waiting for the inevitable signs of a sore throat!
These look heavenly! they would make me feel better! Hope you get well soon.
ReplyDeleteI better find me a girl scout! These looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThese are so amazing. I have book club next week. I think I am going to take these instead of my muffins. I just have to remember to buy the mini liners! Thanks for sharing this. I, too, skipped on the cake this week.
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute and such a great idea!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing idea. I love it! I'm pretty sure I could eat waaaay too many of these little cheesecakes. Chocolate, mint, cheesecake...a match made in heaven, no? It's so funny; I just posted about a chocolate mint cheesecake on my blog, and now, you totally have me wanting to try this one!
ReplyDeleteThose look absolutely delicious! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my word. I WAY overbought Thin Mints this year (actually, I do every year) -- they are my downfall. I am co-hosting a baby shower on Saturday and might just bring some of these along in addition to the other dessert we have planned. I hate to share my Thin Mints, but it's for a happy cause. These look incedible!
ReplyDeleteGOODNESS! Yummy! Can't wait to make these sometime.
ReplyDeleteCuteness overload! Those look so cute and delicious.
ReplyDeleteYou always get me drooling every week! Those are amazing!! And Matt is right, you've gotta love the portion control!
ReplyDeleteThese look so good! I love girl scout cookies, especially the coconut caramel ones.
ReplyDeleteYummy! I'll have to give those a try. I'm sure my husband would love them.
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better. I woke up with the crud this morning... sore throat... whole nine yards.
Can't wait for the package! Thanks Anne! I can totally use that nalgene bottle.

OH NO!!! Did I miss the girl scouts? These look delicious!
ReplyDeleteThin mints are a major weakness of mine. Can't have them in the house because I will plow through them like there's no tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteHow fantastic is this?! I love it! And I hope you are feeling better!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're feeling better! I had strep throat about a year and a half ago--I couldn't believe how sick I got! It's so much worse as an adult than as a kid.
ReplyDeleteYour mini cheesecakes look awesome!
i did not buy enough girl scout cookies for all these recipes I keep finding!
ReplyDeleteThese look just right for a quick sweet bite. No crust, right. I wonder how it would be if you used one cookie at the bottom of each as a crust and didn't mix in the crumbs. Just a thought. Will have to buy some cookies now....
ReplyDeleteThey have to be scrumptious....they have thin mints in them. Yummo and bite sized too. That's dangerous.
ReplyDeleteAmyRuth
My mouth is watering.
ReplyDeleteOh!
My!
Gosh!
Those look insanely good!! I think everyone's been sick these past 2 weeks. That cheesecake looks like a cure though ;)
ReplyDeletei will have to try these...as 2 boxes of thin mints showed up in my house yesterday!!!
ReplyDeleteWow.. these look adorable and sound fantastic. I just found your blog,how have I not found you before. I Love your blog. You are loaded with good stuff!!
ReplyDeleteYum! I always mean to bake with GS cookies, but they disappear too fast in our house :) I scrolled through your blog, and everything looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteDarn those cute little girl scouts!! I swore I would not buy them this year (only because I love them too much and eat the whole box), but the little girls are just too sweet and always convice me to buy them. So I shelled out my $4.00 and bought the thin mints. Great way to use them. I am printing out your recipe.

I can't wait to try this recipe! I just bought 20 boxes of Thin Mints and I think I can give up a few to try something new. I also like to crush them and mix them in with vanilla ice cream. (By the way, it's brothers-in-law. I know, that sounds weird, but it is correct.)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness that looks so delicious
