Ingredients

Scale

Crust Ingredients

  • 20 chocolate sandwich cookies, finely crushed
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted

Filling Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • Some crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (amount to taste for mixing and garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Crust: Start by finely crushing about 20 chocolate sandwich cookies until you have a crumbly texture. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter and combine it with the cookie crumbs to make a sticky mixture. Press this evenly into the bottom of your serving cups to form a firm crust and chill it while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Slowly add 1 cup of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly. Gently fold in 1 cup of whipped cream to add lightness to the filling. Finally, fold in some crushed chocolate sandwich cookies for that irresistible cookies and cream texture.
  3. Assemble the Cups: Carefully spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the chilled cookie crusts in each cup, filling to the top. Smooth the surface with a spatula and sprinkle additional crushed cookies on top for garnish. Place the cups in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set and chill before serving.

Notes

  • Softened Cream Cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth, lump-free filling.
  • Crush Cookies Evenly: Aim for fine crumbs for the crust and slightly larger chunks in the filling to maintain texture.
  • Use Fresh Whipped Cream: Freshly whipped cream blends better than store-bought for fluffier cheesecake texture.
  • Chill Properly: Chill the assembled cups for at least 2 hours to let flavors meld and the cups set perfectly.
  • Customize Garnishes: Don’t hesitate to add a drizzle of chocolate syrup or a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
