A quick and easy no-bake cheesecake dessert layered with creamy filling and crunchy Oreo crumble, perfect for parties and celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, cold
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 15 Oreo cookies, crushed
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries, mint leaves, chocolate shavings or drizzle

Instructions

  1. Place 15 Oreo cookies in a ziplock bag, seal it tightly, and crush with a rolling pin until you have a mix of fine crumbs and small chunks. Transfer to a bowl and stir in 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter until evenly coated. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat 8 oz softened cream cheese with 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer.
  3. In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1/2 cup cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula to keep it light and airy.
  5. Spoon a layer of Oreo crumble into the bottom of each serving cup. Add a generous dollop of cheesecake filling on top, smoothing the surface. Repeat layers if cups are tall enough, finishing with a crumble layer or a few cookie chunks on top.
  6. Refrigerate the cups for at least 2 hours to set properly; overnight chilling is recommended for best flavor.
  7. Just before serving, garnish with fresh berries, mint leaves, or chocolate shavings if desired.

Notes

Softening cream cheese to room temperature is essential to avoid lumps. Chill mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best results. Fold whipped cream gently into cream cheese mixture to keep it airy. Crushed Oreos mixed with melted butter help bind the crumble base. Chill at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor and texture. Can be made dairy-free or gluten-free with substitutions. Assemble up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerate. Freeze assembled cups for longer storage.
