Ingredients

  • 24 Oreo cookies (divided)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • 16 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • Additional crushed Oreos for topping

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Oreo crust by crushing 16 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor. Mix these crumbs with melted butter until well combined. Divide the crust mixture evenly among 6 small cups or jars, pressing firmly to create an even layer at the bottom.
  2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Step 4: Spoon the cheesecake filling over the Oreo crust in each cup, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
  5. Step 5: Crush the remaining 8 Oreo cookies and sprinkle them evenly over the cheesecake layer.
  6. Step 6: Cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
  7. Step 7: Once chilled, remove from the refrigerator. Optionally, add extra whipped cream or Oreo crumbles on top before serving. Enjoy your no-bake dessert!

Tips & Variations

  • For a richer crust, toast the Oreo crumbs lightly before mixing with butter.
  • Substitute regular Oreos with flavored varieties like mint or golden Oreos for a unique twist.
  • Use mini dessert cups to create individual servings perfect for parties.
  • To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies instead of Oreos.

Storage

Store the cheesecake cups covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, allow them to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to soften slightly. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change upon thawing.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I make these cheesecake cups ahead of time?

Yes, they are ideal for making a day in advance. Just ensure they are well covered and chilled to maintain the texture and freshness.

What can I use instead of heavy whipping cream?

For a lighter option, you can use whipped coconut cream, but the texture and flavor will be slightly different. Avoid using milk or half-and-half as they won’t whip properly.
