Oreo Chilled Cheesecake Cups (Print-Friendly Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Filling for Cheesecake

01 - 8 oz pack of softened cream cheese
02 - 8 oz whipped topping like Cool Whip
03 - 2/3 cup powdered sugar (confectioners' sugar)
04 - 1 tsp vanilla essence
05 - 24-26 Oreo cookies, crushed

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Put your Oreos in a sealed plastic bag. Smash them into crumbs with a rolling pin or a wooden spoon. Layer 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of these crumbs at the bottom of six small serving bowls (holding about 3/4 cup to 1 cup each). Keep them off to the side.
02 - Beat the cream cheese together with powdered sugar until it’s smooth and fluffy using a mixer. Stir in the vanilla and blend well. Carefully fold in the whipped topping and mix in the leftover Oreo crumbs.
03 - Spoon the creamy filling over the crushed Oreos in the dessert bowls, gently pressing it down. Chill everything in the fridge for about an hour or until it’s time to serve.
04 - Right before eating, add some whipped cream and sprinkle more Oreo crumbs on top. Now dig in and enjoy this treat!

# Helpful Notes:

01 - Make it a layered parfait or turn it into a bigger dish to spoon out portions.
02 - Try swapping in different Oreo varieties for a fun change.
03 - For a minty version, mix in half a teaspoon of peppermint extract and go with mint Oreos.
