Ingredients
For the Crust
- 24 pieces Oreo cookies (finely crushed)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
For the Cheesecake Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened) Use room temperature for best results.
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)

- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Crust
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter. Stir until well combined.
- Spoon the mixture evenly into the bottom of your serving cups or jars, pressing down gently to create a firm base.
Make the Cheesecake Filling
- In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form (this should take around 2-3 minutes).
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Layer the Cups
- Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling generously over the crusts in each cup.
- Smooth the tops with a spatula if desired.
Chill
- Refrigerate the cups for at least 2-4 hours to let them set. If you're in a hurry, aim for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Serve and Enjoy
- Before serving, top with additional Oreo crumbs and a dollop of whipped cream for that extra touch.
