Ingredients
Scale
Oreo Cookies:
- 26 Oreo cookies, crushed (18 for crust, 4 for filling, additional for garnish)
Crust and Base Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) unsalted butter, melted
Filling and Cream Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) heavy whipping cream
- Whipped cream (for garnish)
Instructions
- Craft a robust foundation by pulverizing Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and blending with melted butter until the texture resembles damp terrain.
- Press the crumbly mixture decisively into mini muffin tins, creating a compact base about 1/4 inch thick.
- Refrigerate the crusts for 15 minutes to solidify while preparing the filling.
- Using an electric mixer, whip cream cheese until silky and free of lumps at room temperature.
- Incorporate powdered sugar and vanilla extract, blending until the mixture achieves a uniform, velvety consistency.
- Whip heavy cream separately until it forms stiff, glossy peaks that hold their shape.
- Delicately fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, maintaining the airy texture.
- Gently crush additional Oreo cookies and fold into the filling for textural intrigue.
- Carefully pipe or spoon the creamy filling over the chilled crusts, ensuring even distribution.
- Smooth the surface with a small offset spatula for a polished appearance.
- Chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and texture to set.
- Prior to serving, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle of crushed Oreo cookies for visual appeal.
Notes
- Crush Oreos thoroughly to create a smooth, compact crust that holds together perfectly when baked or chilled.
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to achieve a silky, lump-free filling that blends seamlessly.
- Fold whipped cream gently into the cream cheese mixture to maintain its light, airy texture without deflating the volume.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow flavors to meld and achieve the ideal creamy consistency.
