🧰 Equipment Needed

  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Rubber spatula
  • Measuring cups & spoons
  • Small cups or ramekins (6–8)
  • Ziplock bag & rolling pin (or food processor)
  • Spoon or piping bag (optional for neat layers)

πŸ›’ Ingredients

πŸ–€ For the Cheesecake Cups

  • 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
  • 2/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 (8 oz) tub Cool Whip or whipped topping, thawed
  • 24 Oreo cookies, crushed (reserve a few whole for garnish)

πŸ‘©β€πŸ³ Directions


Step 1: Crush the Oreos

  • Place 20 Oreo cookies in a zip-top bag.
  • Crush them with a rolling pin until they become fine crumbs (or use a food processor).
  • Set aside.

🧁 For a layered look, crush more finely for the base, and save chunky bits for topping!


Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

  1. In a mixing bowl, add softened cream cheese. Beat until smooth.
  2. Add powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat again until creamy and fluffy.
  3. Fold in the Cool Whip gently with a spatula until fully combined.

⚠️ Don’t overmix after adding whipped topping β€” it keeps the texture light and airy.


Step 3: Assemble the Cups

  • Spoon a layer of crushed Oreos into the bottom of each cup (about 2 tbsp).
  • Add a generous scoop of cheesecake filling.
  • Repeat with another layer of Oreo crumbs, then top with more filling.
  • Finish with crushed Oreos or a whole cookie on top.

πŸŽ‚ Want it fancier? Use a piping bag for swirled filling layers.


Step 4: Chill & Serve

  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours for firmer cups.
  • Serve cold with extra cookies or chocolate drizzle if desired.
