Strawberry Oreo Cheesecake Cup

When I first whipped up these Strawberry Oreo Cheesecake Cups, I honestly didn’t expect them to vanish so fast from the fridge. But they did—like magic. With a creamy cheesecake filling, a buttery Oreo base, and juicy strawberries on top, these little cups are heaven in every bite.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup strawberries chopped – Fresh ones are best for flavor and natural sweetness. Avoid frozen, as they can get soggy.
  • 10 Oreo cookies crushed – Use classic Oreos. They add that signature crunch and chocolatey depth.
  • 2 tbsp butter melted – Helps hold the Oreo crust together. Use unsalted butter for better balance.
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened – Always use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture. Let it soften at room temperature.
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar – This sweetens the filling perfectly without making it grainy.
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract – Adds an aromatic sweet flavor that elevates the filling.
  • 1/2 cup whipped cream – Makes the cheesecake filling fluffy and light. Gently fold it in to avoid deflating

Method
 

  1. First, take your Oreo cookies and crush them into small crumbs. You can use a food processor or just put them in a ziplock bag and bash them with a rolling pin—great stress relief! Mix the crumbs with melted butter until they’re well coated. This will be your crust. Press the mixture firmly into the base of each cup using a spoon.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue beating until the mixture becomes creamy and silky. Make sure there are no lumps left.
  3. Now, gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. This is where the magic happens! Folding helps keep the mixture light and fluffy, so take your time and don’t overmix. You want a cloud-like consistency.
  4. Start spooning your cheesecake filling over the Oreo crust in the cups. Smooth the top lightly with the back of a spoon. Then, sprinkle chopped strawberries generously over each cup. The more colorful, the better! You can even add an extra Oreo crumb sprinkle if you like.
  5. Place the cups in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours. This helps the filling firm up and allows the flavors to blend beautifully. Trust me, the wait is totally worth it!
