FAQs

Can I make these cheesecake cups ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the cheesecake cups up to a day in advance and keep them refrigerated. This allows the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up nicely.

Can I freeze the Oreo cheesecake cups?

While freezing is possible, it may affect the texture of the whipped cream and crust. If you freeze them, thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving and expect a slightly softer texture.
