Ingredients
Crust
- 24–26 Oreo cookies (more as desired)
Cheesecake Filling
- 1 8 oz block of cream cheese, softened
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 oz Cool Whip or whipped topping
Topping
- Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- Additional crushed Oreos (for garnish)
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos: Place the Oreos in a plastic bag and seal it tightly. Use a rolling pin or a sturdy wooden spoon to crush the Oreos until they reach a fine crumb consistency. Spoon 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of the crushed Oreos into the bottom of 6 small dessert dishes (each holding about 3/4 cup to 1 cup). Set these aside as the crust base.
- Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until the mixture is creamy and smooth. Add the vanilla extract and continue beating to combine thoroughly. Next, gently fold in the Cool Whip to keep the mixture light and airy. Finally, fold in the remaining crushed Oreos to add texture and flavor to the filling.
- Assemble the cheesecake cups: Evenly divide the cheesecake filling among the prepared dishes, pressing it gently over the Oreo crust layer at the bottom. This forms the creamy middle layer of the dessert. Once assembled, place the cups in the refrigerator and chill for about 1 hour or until firm and ready to serve.
- Add finishing touches and serve: Before serving, top each cheesecake cup with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle additional crushed Oreos on top for garnish. Enjoy these rich, no-bake treats chilled for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for smooth mixing.
- You can substitute Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream if preferred.
- Adjust the quantity of Oreo cookies to suit your desired crust thickness.
- These cheesecake cups can be prepared a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
- For a stronger vanilla flavor, use pure vanilla extract instead of imitation.
