Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
Dairy and Sweet Components:
- 1/4 cup melted salted butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Garnish:
- 28 mini Oreos
Instructions
- Crush Oreo cookies into fine crumbs, then blend thoroughly with melted butter to create a cohesive base mixture.
- Distribute the buttery Oreo crumb mixture evenly across individual serving cups, firmly pressing down to establish a compact foundation.
- Using an electric mixer, whip cream cheese with powdered sugar until achieving a silky, aerated consistency without lumps.
- Separately whip heavy cream and vanilla extract, beating until forming distinct, sturdy peaks that hold their shape.
- Delicately incorporate the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, using gentle folding techniques to maintain volume and prevent deflation.
- Carefully transfer the luxurious cream filling into each prepared cup, either spooning or piping the mixture to create an elegant presentation.
- Garnish each dessert cup with miniature Oreo cookies, strategically placed for visual appeal and extra crunch.
- Refrigerate the assembled dessert cups for minimum 60 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and texture to set perfectly before serving.
Notes
- Crush Oreos finely for a smoother, more consistent crust that holds together perfectly.
- Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a silky, lump-free mixture without overmixing.
- Whip heavy cream just until stiff peaks form to maintain its light, airy texture and prevent butter-like consistency.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular Oreos with gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies and ensure all ingredients are certified gluten-free.
