Ingredients You’ll Need
Oreo cookies — regular Oreos work well, but feel free to use golden Oreos or another favorite flavor for a twist.
Cream cheese — use the block-style cream cheese (not the tub/spreadable kind). Bring it to room temperature so it blends smoothly.
Cool Whip — a ready-to-use frozen whipped topping that gives a light, fluffy texture and holds up well in no-bake desserts.
Powdered sugar — also called icing sugar, it sweetens and smooths the filling.
Optional: whipped cream or extra Cool Whip for topping. You can skip toppings or use more Cool Whip if preferred.
How to Make These No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake Cups
- Place the Oreo cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin until they are coarse crumbs. Reserve some crumbs for mixing into the filling and some for topping.
- Spoon about 1½ to 2 tablespoons of crushed Oreos into the bottom of each of six small glasses or jars. Press down lightly to form a compact base.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold the Cool Whip into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and light in texture.
- Fold in the remaining crushed Oreos to distribute bits of cookie throughout the filling.
- Divide the filling evenly among the glasses, smoothing the top and pressing gently to remove any air pockets.
- Refrigerate the cups for about 1 hour, or until chilled and slightly set.
- Before serving, top each cup with a dollop of whipped cream or Cool Whip and sprinkle additional crushed Oreos on top for extra crunch and visual appeal.

Tips and Notes
- Soften the cream cheese ahead of time for easier mixing and a smoother filling.
- To keep the Oreo base crisper, store crushed cookies separately and assemble the jars right before serving.
- These cups will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days if covered; expect the cookie base to soften over time.
- Adjust sweetness by reducing powdered sugar slightly if you prefer a less sweet dessert.
