Ingredients
  

🖤 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)

Equipment

  • 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)
  • 🎯 No-bake = no-stress. Just mix, chill, and enjoy every creamy bite!

Method
 

Step 1: Crush the Oreos
  1. Place 20 Oreo cookies in a zip-top bag.
  2. Crush them with a rolling pin until they become fine crumbs (or use a food processor).
  3. 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 — it keeps the texture light and airy.
      Step 3: Assemble the Cups
      1. Spoon a layer of crushed Oreos into the bottom of each cup (about 2 tbsp).
      2. Add a generous scoop of cheesecake filling.
      3. Repeat with another layer of Oreo crumbs, then top with more filling.
      4. Finish with crushed Oreos or a whole cookie on top.
      🎂 Want it fancier? Use a piping bag for swirled filling layers.
        Step 4: Chill & Serve
        1. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours for firmer cups.
        2. Serve cold with extra cookies or chocolate drizzle if desired.

        ❓ 10 FAQs
        1. Can I use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip?
        Yes! Use about 1½ cups of fresh whipped cream. Just make sure it’s firm and stable.
        2. What’s the best cream cheese to use?
        Use full-fat block cream cheese for the creamiest texture. Avoid whipped or spreadable tubs.

        Yes! Just thaw in the fridge for a few hours before eating.

        6. Can I make them in a muffin tin?
        Yes! Line with cupcake liners, assemble as usual, and chill.

        Use sugar-free cookies and powdered sweetener, and a keto whipped topping.
        9. Can I add chocolate chips or chunks?
        Yes — stir mini chips into the filling for extra texture.
        10. How far in advance can I make them?
