Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 20 Oreo cookies
- 16 oz cream cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Binding/Creamy Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sour cream
Topping Ingredients:
- 4 additional Oreo cookies (for garnish)
- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Crush Oreo cookies into fine, even crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin, ensuring no large chunks remain.
- Melt butter and mix thoroughly with cookie crumbs, creating a uniform base mixture for the cheesecake cups.
- Press crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of individual serving cups or glasses, creating a compact and even layer.
- Whip cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy, eliminating any potential lumps.
- Gradually incorporate powdered sugar and vanilla extract into the cream cheese, blending until fully integrated and silky.
- Fold in sour cream and heavy cream, gently mixing to maintain a light, airy texture without deflating the mixture.
- Carefully spoon the cream cheese mixture over the Oreo cookie base in each cup, distributing evenly and smoothing the top.
- Refrigerate cheesecake cups for minimum 4 hours or overnight to allow complete setting and flavor development.
- Before serving, crush additional Oreo cookies into coarse pieces for garnish.
- Top each cheesecake cup with crushed Oreo cookies and optional whipped cream just prior to presentation.
- Serve chilled directly from the refrigerator for optimal taste and texture.
Notes
- Ensure Oreo cookies are finely ground to create a smooth, even base without chunky textures that might disrupt the creamy dessert.
- Use room temperature cream cheese to prevent lumps and achieve a silky, perfectly blended filling that spreads effortlessly.
- Chill the mixing bowl and whisk before whipping cream for a more stable and voluminous texture that holds its shape beautifully.
- Experiment with alternative cookie bases like graham crackers or chocolate wafers for diverse flavor profiles that complement the creamy cheesecake filling.
