A quick and easy no-bake dessert featuring layers of crushed cookies and creamy filling, perfect for parties or a simple indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 Oreo cookies, crushed (classic or any cookies and cream variety)
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240ml) whipped topping, thawed (cool whip or your favorite brand)

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor until a mix of fine crumbs and small chunks forms. Alternatively, crush in a plastic bag with a rolling pin. Set aside about 1/3 cup (40g) of crumbs for topping.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fluffy.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Avoid overwhipping.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream and whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, keeping the filling light and airy.
  5. Layer the dessert cups by spooning 1-2 tablespoons of crushed cookie crumbs into each cup, then add a generous scoop of creamy filling. Repeat layering once more, finishing with reserved cookie crumbs on top.
  6. Refrigerate the cups for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld and filling to set.

Notes

Softening cream cheese properly is key to avoid lumps. Whip cream to soft peaks to prevent turning it into butter. Folding gently keeps the filling light and airy. Can be made a day ahead and stored covered in the fridge. Add fresh cookie crumbs on top before serving to refresh crunch.
