1️⃣ Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 325°F (162°C). Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners and lightly spray the liners with non-stick baking spray.

2️⃣ Make the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs and melted butter. Divide the mixture evenly between the cupcake liners, adding about 2 tablespoons of the crust to each. Press the crumbs firmly into the bottom of each liner.

3️⃣ Bake the crust: Bake the crusts for 5 minutes, then remove them from the oven. Let the crusts cool slightly while you prepare the filling.

4️⃣ Prepare the filling: Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (148°C). In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and flour on low speed until smooth and combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.

5️⃣ Add the wet ingredients: Add the sour cream and vanilla extract to the mixture. Continue mixing on low speed until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating slowly and scraping down the bowl after each addition to avoid incorporating too much air (which can cause cracks).

6️⃣ Color the batter: Divide the cheesecake batter evenly into three separate bowls. Leave one portion white, color one portion yellow, and the last portion orange using gel icing colors.

7️⃣ Layer the cheesecakes: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of yellow batter into each cupcake liner, followed by 1 tablespoon of orange batter, and finish with the white batter on top. The liners should be mostly full by the time all layers are added.

8️⃣ Bake: Bake the cheesecakes for about 15 minutes, until set. Once done, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecakes inside with the door closed for another 10 minutes.

9️⃣ Cool gradually: Crack the oven door and allow the cheesecakes to cool inside for another 15-20 minutes. Then, transfer them to the refrigerator to cool completely.

🔟 Whip the topping: In a large bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip on high speed until stiff peaks form. Add a small amount of orange gel icing color to tint the whipped cream.

1️⃣1️⃣ Decorate: Pipe the whipped cream onto the tops of the chilled cheesecakes. Add ghost toppers or other spooky decorations, if desired.

1️⃣2️⃣ Chill & serve: Store the cheesecakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve. They are best enjoyed within 2-3 days.
