These creamy no-bake Oreo cheesecake cups are quick, easy, and perfect individual desserts with a smooth filling and crunchy Oreo bits throughout. Ideal for busy days or last-minute sweet treats without any baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Oreos, crushed (reserve 68 whole or halved for garnish)
  • 8 ounces (225 g) cream cheese, softened (full-fat recommended)
  • 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (56 g) butter, melted (optional for firmer crust base)

Instructions

  1. Crush about 24 Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a ziplock bag and smashing with a rolling pin. Reserve 6-8 whole or halved Oreos for garnish. (5 minutes)
  2. If using a firmer base, mix 1/4 cup melted butter with 1 cup of the crushed Oreos. Press about a tablespoon into the bottom of each serving cup. Otherwise, skip this step and fold crumbs directly into the filling. (5 minutes)
  3. In a medium bowl, beat 8 ounces softened cream cheese with 1 cup powdered sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the sides as needed to avoid lumps. (5 minutes)
  4. In a separate large bowl, whip 1 cup chilled heavy cream with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Do not overwhip. (5-7 minutes)
  5. Fold the remaining crushed Oreos (about 1 cup) into the cream cheese mixture gently for even distribution. (2 minutes)
  6. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese and Oreo crumb mixture until smooth and light. (3 minutes)
  7. Spoon or pipe the filling over the Oreo crust layer if used, or just into the cups if not. Smooth the tops with a spatula. Garnish each with reserved Oreo pieces or crumbs. (10 minutes)
  8. Refrigerate the cups for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight, to let the cheesecake cups set and flavors meld. (3+ hours)
  9. Serve chilled straight from the fridge.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese at room temperature to avoid lumps. Whip cream to soft peaks only to prevent graininess. Fold whipped cream gently into cream cheese mixture to keep fluffy texture. Chill at least 3 hours for best results. Fresh Oreos provide best texture contrast. Optional firmer crust base can be made with melted butter and Oreo crumbs. Variations include mint Oreos, peanut butter addition, gluten-free cookies, or dairy-free cream cheese and coconut whipped cream.
