A quick and easy no-bake dessert featuring creamy cheesecake filling layered with crunchy Oreo cookies, perfect for last-minute gatherings and potlucks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 whole Oreo cookies, divided (16 crushed for crust and 4 roughly chopped for layering)
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup (120 grams) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold, whipped to soft peaks
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Optional: pinch of salt to balance sweetness

Instructions

  1. Crush 16 Oreo cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form (about 1 cup or 100 grams). Alternatively, crush in a ziplock bag with a rolling pin until mostly fine with some larger pieces. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Gradually add sifted powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, beating until fully incorporated and silky smooth, about 2 minutes.
  4. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes on medium-high speed. Be careful not to overwhip.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula with slow, deliberate strokes to keep the mixture light and airy.
  6. Assemble the cups by spooning about 1 tablespoon of Oreo crumbs into the bottom of each serving cup, followed by about 3 tablespoons of creamy filling, then sprinkle some roughly chopped Oreos. Repeat layers until cups are filled, finishing with cookie pieces on top.
  7. Refrigerate the assembled cups for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld and filling to set.
  8. Just before serving, optionally add a final sprinkle of crushed Oreos or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

Do not microwave cream cheese to soften; leave at room temperature for 30 minutes. Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream for better results. Fold whipped cream gently to keep air in mixture. Overnight chilling improves texture. Use gluten-free cookies for gluten-free version. Coconut cream can substitute heavy cream for dairy-free option.
