Instructions

1. Crush the Oreos: Finely crush the Oreo cookies, excluding the reserved mini Oreos for topping. You can do this using a food processor for fine crumbs or by placing the cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin. Set the crushed Oreos aside.

9. Refrigerate: Cover the cups with their lids and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set the filling and chill before serving.

Notes

• For easier crushing, freeze the Oreos for about 10 minutes before processing.

• These dessert cups can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
• To make the dessert cups even creamier, ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing.
• Consider using mini Oreo cookies as topping for a perfect bite-sized garnish.
