Ingredients
Scale
Crust Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Oreo cookies, crushed finely
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling Ingredients
- 8 oz (225 g) full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Oreo Crust: Start by crushing the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or place them in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin. Mix the crumbs thoroughly with melted butter until evenly coated, which helps form a sturdy and flavorful crust. Spoon and press the mixture firmly into the bottom of your serving cups to create the base layer.
- Whip the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing continuously until fully combined, forming the rich cheesecake filling.
- Whip the Heavy Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. This adds a light, fluffy texture to the filling.
- Combine Filling and Assemble: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, taking care not to deflate the airy texture. Layer this creamy mixture over the prepared Oreo crust in your cups. Optionally, add crushed Oreos between layers for extra crunch.
- Chill and Set: Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake cups for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to firm up and set perfectly. Once chilled, garnish as desired and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Choose full-fat cream cheese for a smoother, richer texture.
- Beat cream cheese thoroughly to avoid lumps before adding sweeteners.
- Fold whipped cream gently to maintain light and fluffy filling.
- Press the Oreo crust firmly to help the dessert hold its shape and add crunch.
- Chill for at least 2 hours for optimal firmness and flavor melding.
