Ingredients
Scale
Oreo Crust
- 16 Oreo cookies (crushed)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whipped Cream Topping
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Garnish
- 8 Oreo cookies (crushed for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare Oreo Crust: Using a food processor, crush 16 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Combine the crumbs with melted unsalted butter and mix thoroughly. Distribute the mixture evenly into 6 small cups or jars, pressing down firmly to form an even, compact layer at the bottom.
- Make Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Set aside this creamy base.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate clean bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form, indicating the cream holds its shape firmly. Carefully fold this whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and silky smooth.
- Layer the Filling: Spoon the cheesecake filling over the prepared Oreo crust layer in each cup, smoothing the surface with a spatula to create a neat finish.
- Add Cookies: Crush the remaining 8 Oreo cookies and sprinkle them generously over the top layer of cheesecake filling for added texture and flavor.
- Chill: Cover the cups tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, allowing the cheesecake to set properly and the flavors to meld.
- Serve: Remove the cups from the refrigerator. Optional garnishes such as extra whipped cream or more crushed Oreo crumbles can be added before serving. Enjoy this rich no-bake Oreo cheesecake treat!
