4.8 from 101 reviews

Delicious and easy-to-make Oreo Cheesecake Cookie Cups combine a rich Oreo crust with creamy cheesecake filling, topped with fluffy whipped cream and optional chocolate chips for an irresistible treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 20 Oreo cookies (for crust)
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Topping

  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • Additional crushed Oreo cookies for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush 20 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Mix the crumbs thoroughly with 5 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter to create the crust.
  2. Form Crust in Muffin Tin: Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Press about one tablespoon of the Oreo crumb mixture into the bottom of each liner, firmly pressing down to form a solid crust base for each cup.
  3. Make Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until the mixture is fluffy and smooth. Add 1/4 cup sour cream and continue mixing until fully combined and creamy. If desired, gently fold in 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips to add texture and flavor.
  4. Fill and Bake: Spoon the cheesecake filling evenly onto each Oreo crust in the muffin tin, filling nearly to the top but not overflowing. Bake the cookie cups for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  5. Cool and Chill: Allow the cheesecake cookie cups to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate them for several hours or overnight to help them firm up and develop flavors.
  6. Add Topping and Serve: Before serving, top each cheesecake cookie cup with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Garnish with additional crushed Oreos for a decorative and flavorful finish.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is softened completely to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Do not overbake the cheesecake filling to maintain a creamy texture; it should be slightly jiggly in the center when done.
  • For a firmer crust, press the Oreo crumb mixture firmly and chilling the crust before filling can help.
  • Optional mini chocolate chips add a delightful texture but can be omitted for a purer cheesecake flavor.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
