I love Oreo no-bake cheesecake cups because they’re creamy, chocolatey, and incredibly easy to make. I enjoy how the crunchy Oreo base pairs with the smooth cheesecake filling, creating a dessert that feels indulgent without needing an oven.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I like this recipe because it’s quick, foolproof, and perfect when I want a dessert with minimal effort. I enjoy that it can be made ahead of time and served in individual cups, which makes it great for gatherings or simple treats at home. I also love how rich and satisfying it is with just a few ingredients.
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
-
Oreo cookies
-
butter
-
cream cheese
-
powdered sugar
-
vanilla extract
-
heavy whipping cream
-
extra crushed Oreos for topping
Directions
I start by crushing the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and mixing them with melted butter. I spoon the mixture into the bottoms of serving cups and press it down gently to form the crust.
In a bowl, I beat the cream cheese until smooth, then mix in powdered sugar and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, I whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. I gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.
I spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the Oreo crusts and smooth the tops. I finish by sprinkling extra crushed Oreos on top. I refrigerate the cups for at least 2 hours so they set properly before serving.
Servings and Timing
I usually get about 6 cheesecake cups from this recipe.
Prep time takes around 15 minutes, chilling time is about 2 hours, and the total time comes to roughly 2 hours and 15 minutes.
Variations
I sometimes add a layer of chocolate ganache between the crust and filling for extra richness. I like mixing mini chocolate chips into the cheesecake filling for texture. When I want a festive look, I add whipped cream and whole Oreo pieces on top.
Storage/Reheating
I store the cheesecake cups covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. I don’t reheat them, since they’re best enjoyed chilled straight from the fridge.
FAQs
Can I make these cups ahead of time?
I often make them a day in advance, which actually helps the flavor and texture set nicely.
Do I need an electric mixer?
I find an electric mixer makes it easier, but I can mix by hand if the cream cheese is very soft.
Can I use low-fat cream cheese?
I can use it, but I prefer full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture.
Can I freeze cheesecake cups?
I freeze them without toppings for up to 1 month and thaw them in the refrigerator before serving.
What size cups work best?
I like using small dessert cups or jars, but any serving cups work as long as they’re chilled.
Conclusion
I enjoy Oreo no-bake cheesecake cups because they’re simple, creamy, and always a crowd-pleaser. I love how they deliver big dessert flavor with very little effort, making them a recipe I rely on whenever I want something sweet and easy.
