Ingredients
Scale
Crust Ingredients
- 20 Oreo Cookies, crushed finely
- 4 tablespoons Butter, melted
Filling Ingredients
- 8 oz (225g) Cream Cheese, softened
- 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 3/4 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 4–6 Oreo Cookies, chopped into small pieces (for folding into filling and garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Crush the Oreo cookies finely and mix them with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of your serving cups to form a solid base. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling to help the crust set.
- Whip the Cream: Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. This will make the filling light and fluffy, ensuring an airy cheesecake texture.
- Combine Cream Cheese and Sweeteners: Beat the softened cream cheese in a bowl until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, blending well until creamy and lump-free.
- Fold in the Whipped Cream and Oreo Pieces: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate it. Next, fold in small Oreo chunks for added texture and flavor throughout the filling.
- Assemble the Cups: Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the chilled cookie crust in each cup. Smooth the tops and sprinkle extra Oreo crumbs or pieces on each for garnish.
- Chill and Set: Refrigerate the cups for at least 2-4 hours, or overnight if possible. This chilling step allows the filling to firm up, making these desserts perfectly creamy and set.
Notes
- Ensure your cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth mixture.
- Fold whipped cream gently to maintain an airy texture and prevent deflation.
- Press the Oreo crust firmly for a sturdy base that won’t crumble while eating.
- Longer chilling improves texture and flavor melding for the absolute best results.
- Use fresh cream and quality cream cheese for noticeable richness.
