Ingredients
Scale
Oreo Crust
- 16 Oreo cookies
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Topping
- 8 Oreo cookies, crushed
- Additional crushed Oreos for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Oreo Crust: In a food processor, crush 16 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Mix the crumbs thoroughly with melted butter until fully combined. Evenly divide this crust mixture among 6 small cups or jars, pressing down firmly to create an even, compact layer at the bottom.
- Make Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Set this mixture aside.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream along with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form, indicating it is fully aerated and stable.
- Combine Filling and Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, mixing carefully until the filling is smooth and well combined without deflating the whipped cream.
- Layer the Filling: Spoon the cheesecake filling on top of the Oreo crust in each cup, smoothing the tops with a spatula for an even surface.
- Add Cookies: Crush the remaining 8 Oreo cookies and sprinkle these pieces over the cheesecake layer to add texture and decoration.
- Chill: Cover each cup with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the cheesecake cups are thoroughly set and chilled.
- Serve: Once chilled, remove the cups from the refrigerator. Optionally, garnish with additional whipped cream or Oreo crumbles before serving. Enjoy your no-bake Oreo cheesecake cups!
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing and a smooth filling.
- Press the Oreo crust firmly into the cups to avoid crumbling when serving.
- Use cold heavy whipping cream for better whipping results.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake cups for at least 4 hours for best firm texture.
- Optional garnishes can include fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or extra Oreos.
