Oreo Cheesecake Cups (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Filling for Cheesecake

01 - 8 ounces of cream cheese, brought to room temperature
02 - 8 ounces of whipped topping, thawed
03 - 2/3 cup of powdered sugar
04 - 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
05 - 24 to 26 Oreo cookies

# Instructions:

01 - Seal the Oreos inside a plastic bag, then crush them with a heavy spoon or rolling pin. Spoon about 1.5–2 tablespoons of the crushed Oreos into the bottoms of six small dessert cups that hold 3/4 to 1 cup each. Set them aside for later.
02 - Blend cream cheese and powdered sugar together using a standing or hand mixer until it feels smooth and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla extract, then fold in the whipped topping gently. Add the leftover crushed Oreos and mix lightly.
03 - Spread the cheesecake filling evenly into each dessert cup on top of the Oreo layer. Press it down softly. Put the cups in the fridge and chill for at least an hour or until you're ready to eat.
04 - Right before eating, add whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed Oreos on top. Dig in and enjoy!

# Notes:

01 - You can make this a parfait by layering the ingredients or use one big dish and serve in slices.
02 - Try out other Oreo flavors to give this dessert a fun twist.
03 - Add half a teaspoon of peppermint extract and swap for mint Oreos if you'd like a minty version.
