Ingredients
Method
Start by crushing the Oreos. No special method required—use what’s easiest for you. Skip extra cleanup by placing the cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin or sturdy spoon. Leave some texture; small chunks add great bite.
Spoon about 1½ to 2 tablespoons of crushed cookies into the bottom of six small dessert cups. (You can skip the bottom layer if preferred—just reduce the total cookies slightly.)
n a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Begin mixing slowly to prevent powdered sugar from flying everywhere. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated. Then stir in the remaining crushed Oreos.
Divide the cheesecake mixture evenly among the prepared cups, pressing lightly to eliminate air gaps.
Refrigerate for about one hour before serving. Top with whipped cream, mini Oreos, or extra cookie crumbs for garnish.
