How to Make It

Here’s how to assemble your delicious cheesecake cups:

Crush the Oreos

Place the Oreos in a plastic bag and seal. Using a rolling pin or a sturdy wooden spoon, crush the Oreos until fine. Spoon 1 1/2 – 2 tablespoons of the crushed Oreos to the bottom of 6 small dessert dishes (make sure dishes are at least 3/4 cup-1 cup size). Set aside.

Mix the Filling

Using a hand or standing mixer, whip cream cheese and powdered sugar until creamy and smooth. Add the vanilla and beat to mix in. Gently fold in the Cool Whip until fully incorporated.

Combine With Oreos

Fold in the remaining crushed Oreos. Then, divide the cheesecake filling evenly across the dessert dishes and gently press it onto the crushed Oreos. Chill for about 1 hour or until ready to serve.

Serve the Cup

Top with whipped cream and more crushed Oreos before serving. Enjoy!
