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. Combine the crumbs with melted butter and press the mixture evenly into the bottom of 6 small cups or jars to form a firm layer.
  2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set this mixture aside.
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together 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 as a topping.
  6. Step 6: Cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until the cheesecake is fully set.
  7. Step 7: When ready to serve, remove the cups from the refrigerator. Optionally, garnish with additional whipped cream or Oreo crumbles for an extra touch of flavor.

Tips & Variations

  • For a chocolate lover’s twist, add a spoonful of chocolate syrup to the cheesecake filling before folding in the whipped cream.
  • To make individual servings extra special, try layering mini Oreo pieces within the filling before chilling.
  • If you don’t have a food processor, place Oreo cookies in a sealed bag and crush them with a rolling pin to get fine crumbs.
  • Use gluten-free Oreo cookies if you need a gluten-free dessert option.

Storage

Store the cheesecake cups covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating is needed, it’s best to enjoy them chilled as the texture may change if warmed. These no-bake cups are ideal served cold and fresh.
