    The easiest, 20 minute dessert you will ever that everyone will LOVE. These Oreo No-Bake Cheesecake Cups are the perfect summer treat. 5 Ingredients and so simple to toss together!

    Oreo No-Bake Cheesecake cups with whipped cream and crushed Oreos.

    Not sure I have ever met an Oreo I didn't love. (Ok, maybe a couple of the random flavors, but every other kind has been heavenly.)

    No bake, ready in about 20 minutes, and packed with Oreos--this Oreo No-Bake Cheesecake recipe is the dessert of my DREAMS.

    You may recall seeing my No-Bake Caramel Apple Cheesecake and thinking that was the best thing ever, but this Oreo recipe wins for how easy it is! (And the inclusion of Oreos obviously!)

    I am not kidding about my obsession with Oreos: No Bake Oreo Truffles and these Oreo Chocolate Chip Cookies are the other loves of my life that include the classic sandwich cookie. I have 4 different flavors in my pantry right now.

    Aside from the ease of this recipe, it's also a very versatile treat. You can spoon it into a simple bowl or make it extra fancy and wow your guests with some fancy dishes and the perfect swirl of whipped cream on top.

    You do you--just don't forget to grab the Oreos at the grocery, ok?!

    What you need to make this recipe:

    • I have only used full fat cream cheese in this recipe.
    • Cool Whip: You could also make some homemade whipped cream using heavy cream. I love the real deal, but when I want a super quick dessert, Cool Whip wins!
    • Oreos: There are so many options these days in the Oreo department. I love the traditional chocolate for these but have also loved this recipe with Golden Oreos, my second favorite flavor.
    Ingredients to make no-bake cheesecake cups

    How to make this recipe:

    There really isn't a rule as to how you have to crush your Oreos. if you have a system that works well, go with it. I know some people use a food processor. That requires more dishes to clean so you won't see me doing that!

    • Place the Oreos in a plastic bag. Use a rolling pin or a really sturdy, solid spoon to roll or pound the cookies until they are crushed. I prefer my Oreos to still be pretty decent sizes versus crumbs. (steps 1, 2 and 3)
    Oreos in plastic bag being crushed.
    • Combine powdered sugar and softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Using a standing or hand mixer, mix until smooth and creamy. Work it slow at first to make sure you don't get sprayed with powdered sugar (consider yourself warned.) (steps 4 and 5)
    • Stir in the Cool Whip and vanilla to fully incorporate. (steps 6 and 7)
    Cream cheese, powdered sugar and cool whip in mixing bowl.
    • Fold in about â…” of the crushed Oreos and stir to combine. (steps 8 and 9)
    • Spoon the rest of the crushed Oreos into the bottom of 4-6 dessert dishes. (I actually used these Oui yogurt jars for mine!) Divide the cheesecake mixture into the jars and refrigerate until serving. Add the rest of the whipped topping on top of the cheesecake cups before serving and extra Oreos if desired. (step 10)
    Crushed Oreos mixed into cheesecake mixture.

    Notes:

    • I find this dessert to be very rich, so the servings are a bit small. You may want to double the batch if you are serving 6 people though.
    • You can layer this Oreo No-Bake Cheesecake dessert and make it more parfait like if desired. Or you can put in one larger dish and spoon it out to serve.
    • Any Oreo flavor will work--and there are tons of options these days.
    • Add about ½ teaspoon of peppermint extract to make this a mint cookies and cream treat.

        Hi! It will set, but I don’t think it will hold up too well on its own for a springform pan. I will have to try soon and see!

        Hi! You can add butter for the cookies on the bottom but I kind of like the cookies on their own. I haven’t made this recipe with condensed milk so I’m not sure. The powdered sugar help the cheesecake mixture set up which is why I used it in a no bake recipe.

      Do you separate the cookie filling or crush altogether

      Can you leave out the powder sugar since the cookies have their own sugar? If not what can I replace it with?

        Hi! The powdered sugar helps thicken up the cheesecake a bit and also will sweeten it. You could use some regular sugar if desired. If you don't like super sweet, you may be ok to omit it, but the texture will be slightly different. Hope that helps!
