Ingredients
Scale
Crust and Topping
- 1 package (14 oz) Oreo cookies (reserve 24 mini Oreos for topping)
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
- ¼ tsp salt
Equipment
- 24 mini plastic cups with lids (2 oz size)
Instructions
- 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.
- Beat cream cheese: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Add sweeteners and vanilla: Add powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Continue beating until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Whip heavy cream: Using a separate chilled bowl and beaters, whip the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, indicating it holds its shape firmly.
- Fold whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in batches, mixing carefully to retain the light, fluffy texture.
- Incorporate crushed Oreos: Fold the crushed Oreo cookies into the cream cheese and whipped cream mixture until evenly distributed throughout.
- Fill dessert cups: Spoon or pipe the Oreo cream mixture evenly into the 24 mini plastic dessert cups, filling each almost to the top.
- Add mini Oreo topping: Place one mini Oreo cookie on top of each filled dessert cup for decoration.
- 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.
- Use cold heavy cream and chill the bowl and beaters for better whipping results.
- 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.
