No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake Cups

These no-bake Oreo cheesecake cups are a creamy, chocolatey treat that comes together in minutes. Layers of crushed Oreos and smooth cheesecake filling make this dessert rich and indulgent, yet so easy to prepare. I love making them when I want something sweet without turning on the oven.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love how quick and simple these cheesecake cups are to make. There’s no baking, no complicated steps, and I can assemble them in advance for parties or a personal treat. The combination of crunchy Oreo pieces and velvety cheesecake is irresistible, and I can easily customize the portions by making them in individual cups.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• Oreo cookies

• Cream cheese, softened

• Powdered sugar

• Vanilla extract

• Whipped topping (like Cool Whip)

• Melted butter

Directions

1. I crush most of the Oreos into fine crumbs, saving a few for garnish.

2. I mix the Oreo crumbs with melted butter until combined, then spoon a layer into the bottom of serving cups, pressing it down gently.

3. In a mixing bowl, I beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

4. I fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated.

5. I spoon or pipe the cheesecake mixture over the Oreo crust in each cup.

6. I top with extra crushed Oreos or a whole Oreo for decoration.

7. I refrigerate the cups for at least 1–2 hours before serving to let them set.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 6 servings. It takes me roughly 15 minutes to prepare, plus at least 1 hour of chilling time.

Variations

I sometimes mix crushed Oreos directly into the cheesecake filling for extra crunch. For a richer flavor, I add a tablespoon of melted chocolate to the cream cheese mixture. If I want a twist, I use flavored Oreos like mint, peanut butter, or golden Oreos.

storage/reheating

I store these cheesecake cups covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. I don’t freeze them because the texture of the whipped topping can change once thawed.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, I often prepare them the night before, and they taste even better the next day.

Can I use homemade whipped cream instead of whipped topping?

Absolutely, I whip heavy cream with a bit of sugar until soft peaks form and use it in place of Cool Whip.

Can I make these in a large dish instead of cups?

Yes, I layer everything in an 8×8-inch dish and slice into squares when serving.

How can I make them less sweet?

I reduce the powdered sugar slightly or use less sweet Oreos, like dark chocolate ones.

Can I use low-fat cream cheese?

Yes, but I find that full-fat cream cheese gives a richer, creamier texture.

Conclusion

These no-bake Oreo cheesecake cups are one of my favorite quick desserts because they’re easy, delicious, and always a crowd-pleaser. I love how they deliver the flavor of classic cheesecake without the hassle of baking, making them perfect for any occasion.
