What You Need to Make No-bake Oreo Cheesecake Cups
- Oreos: I used chocolate-flavored Oreo sandwich cookies to make these cheesecake bites but you can use any flavor you like.
- Cream cheese: I used cream cheese for the cheesecake filling. You can also use mascarpone cheese. Take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before starting to reach room temperature.
- Heavy Cream: Heavy cream gives a creamy and soft texture to the cheesecake filling.
- Powdered sugar: I just add powdered sugar to the cheesecake filling. Powdered sugar is easier to mix with cheese and heavy cream.
- Vanilla extract: Vanilla adds sweetness and flavor.
- Butter: The crust of these cheesecakes is not baked in the oven. To make the Oreo crumbs come together, you should mix them with melted butter.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Make the crust: Pulse Oreo cookies in a food processor or blender until finely crumbled. Add 3/4 cookie crumbs to a bowl and mix in melted butter. Set aside and prepare the cream cheese mixture.
- Make the cheesecake filling: Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract over medium-high speed until medium peaks form. Using a spatula, gently fold whipped cream into the softened cream cheese mixture. Add 1/4 remaining cookie crumbs and mix.
- Assemble cheesecake: Divide the Oreo crust mixture between 6 cups. Pipe a layer of cheesecake filling over the crust. Add another cookie crumb layer on top of the cream cheese layer. Top with cookie crumbs and whipped cream. Sprinkle with extra cookie crumbs. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
