Ingredients
Scale
- For the Oreo Cookie Crust:
- 24 Oreo cookies (about 2 cups when crushed)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 16 oz (2 blocks) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 12 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped (about 1 cup)
- For Garnish:
- 1/2 cup whipped cream
- 6 Oreo cookies, halved or crushed
- Chocolate syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Oreo Crust:
- Place 24 Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs.
- Transfer cookie crumbs to a medium bowl and mix with melted butter until well combined.
- Divide the crust mixture evenly among 8-10 serving glasses or jars (about 2-3 tablespoons per cup).
- Press the crumbs firmly into the bottom of each cup using the back of a spoon.
- Place cups in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
- Create the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
- Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until well combined and no lumps remain.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form (about 3-4 minutes).
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, maintaining as much air as possible for a light texture.
- Carefully fold in the chopped Oreo cookies until evenly distributed.
- Assemble the Cheesecake Cups:
- Remove the prepared cups with the Oreo crust from the refrigerator.
- Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling evenly over each crust layer.
- Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon or an offset spatula.
- Return the cups to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or ideally 4 hours, to allow the filling to set properly.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Just before serving, top each cup with a dollop of whipped cream.
- Garnish with halved or crushed Oreo cookies.
- For an extra touch, drizzle with chocolate syrup if desired.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- Room temperature cream cheese is essential for a smooth, lump-free filling.

- For a lighter version, use reduced-fat cream cheese and light whipped topping.
