Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 oz Cool Whip or whipped topping
Crust and Topping
- 24-26 Oreo cookies (plus more for topping as desired)
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos: Place the Oreos in a sealed plastic bag and crush them using a rolling pin or a sturdy wooden spoon until finely crumbled. Spoon about 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of the crushed Oreos evenly into the bottom of six small dessert cups or dishes (approximately 3/4 to 1 cup size). Set aside.
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until the mixture is creamy and smooth. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined. Gently fold in the Cool Whip to maintain a light and airy texture, then fold in the remaining crushed Oreos to incorporate evenly.
- Assemble the Cups: Divide the cheesecake filling evenly among the six dessert cups, spreading it over the Oreo crust layer. Gently press the filling to compact it slightly onto the crust for a firm base. Chill the cups in the refrigerator for about 1 hour to set.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Before serving, top each cup with additional whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed Oreos for garnish. Enjoy your creamy, no-bake Oreo cheesecake cups!
Notes
- For best results, use fully softened cream cheese for easier mixing.
- You can substitute Cool Whip with any whipped topping of your choice.
- Make sure dessert cups are large enough (at least 3/4 to 1 cup capacity) to hold the layers comfortably.
- Chilling time can be extended up to 2 hours if you want firmer cups.
- Feel free to add fresh berries or chocolate drizzle as an optional garnish.
