A quick and fuss-free no-bake dessert featuring creamy cheesecake filling layered over a crunchy Oreo crust, ready in just 5 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 Oreo cookies (crushed into fine crumbs and chunks)
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • ½ cup (60 grams) powdered sugar
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons (45 grams) melted butter (optional, for crust binding)

Instructions

  1. Crush 18 Oreos in a food processor until fine crumbs with some chunks remain. Reserve 2 Oreos chopped roughly for topping.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine Oreo crumbs with melted butter and mix until crumbs clump together when pressed.
  3. Press about 2 tablespoons (30 grams) of crust mixture into the bottom of each serving cup firmly.
  4. Whip chilled heavy cream in a cold bowl on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then fold in the remaining whipped cream carefully to keep it airy.
  7. Spoon or pipe the cream cheese filling over the Oreo crust in the cups, filling almost to the top and smooth the surface.
  8. Sprinkle reserved chopped Oreo pieces on top for crunch and visual appeal.
  9. Chill the cups in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set (optional, but recommended).

Notes

Softening cream cheese to room temperature is crucial for a smooth filling. Chill the bowl and beaters before whipping cream to achieve stiff peaks. Fold whipped cream gently to keep the filling light and airy. Chilling the cups for at least 1 hour improves texture and flavor melding. Use melted butter in the crust to prevent crumbling and sogginess. Variations include adding cocoa powder, fresh berries, peanut butter, or using vegan/dairy-free substitutes.
