🧾 Ingredients:

Makes: 4–6 cups | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Chill Time: Optional (but better after 30 minutes)

• 18 Oreo cookies (crushed, divided into two parts)

• 1 tablespoon melted butter

• 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Make the crust base:
   Crush half the Oreos (about 9 cookies) and mix with melted butter. Divide into the bottom of small serving cups or jars, pressing down slightly.

2. Make the cheesecake filling:
   In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.

3. Add whipped cream:
   In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold it into the cream cheese mixture gently until fully combined.

4. Layer the cups:
   Add a spoonful of crushed Oreos (from the remaining 9 cookies) on top of the crust, followed by a layer of cheesecake filling. Repeat if you have room in your cups.

5. Garnish & chill (optional):
   Top with extra crushed Oreos, whipped cream, or mini Oreos. Chill for 30 minutes if you have time—or serve immediately!
