These No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake Cups are a quick, chilled dessert. You can make them in minutes without an oven or gelatin. All you need are Oreo cookies, cream cheese, cold whipping cream, sugar, butter, and vanilla.
Prep time is just 10–15 minutes. Chill time varies from one hour for a quick set to overnight for the best texture. You can make four larger servings or up to a dozen mini cheesecakes.
For the best results, use regular Oreo cookies, full-fat cream cheese, and 35% whipping cream. Unsalted butter helps control the crust flavor. Powdered sugar makes the filling smoother, while granulated sugar affects texture and nutrition.
Store the finished dessert cups in the fridge for three to five days. Let them sit at room temperature for five minutes before serving. For a crisper base, make the crust separately or assemble just before serving.
Next, see the ingredients and step-by-step instructions. Plan your shopping and timing for this easy, crowd-pleasing no bake oreo cheesecake.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
No-bake Oreo cheesecake cups are quick and delicious. They can be made in about 20 minutes. This makes them perfect for parties, picnics, or packed lunches.

Ingredients
Start with the crust. Crush 10–25 Oreo cookies or use 1 cup of crumbs for 12 mini portions. Mix with 3 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter, adjusting as needed for bigger batches.
For the filling, use full-fat cream cheese. For a small batch, use 2/3 cup. For a larger batch, use 1 cup. Add 3/4–1 cup of cold heavy whipping cream or 1 cup of Cool Whip for a shortcut. Sweeten with 2–2½ tablespoons of granulated sugar or 2/3 cup of powdered sugar for a bigger batch. Add 1/2–1 teaspoon of vanilla. Optional: 1/4 cup of sour cream, a pinch of kosher salt, and 4+ chopped Oreos folded in.
Step-by-Step Instructions
First, make the crust. Crush cookies in a food processor or bag with a rolling pin. Mix with melted butter until the crumbs hold together. Divide into cups and press gently; pack firmer for mini cheesecake no bake forms in muffin tins.
Next, prepare the filling. Beat softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Whip cold heavy cream to soft or stiff peaks, or use Cool Whip. Fold whipped cream into the cream cheese until fluffy. Stir in chopped cookies if you like extra texture.
Then, assemble and chill. Spoon or pipe filling over crust in your chosen containers. Layer extra crumbs between layers for a parfait look. Chill at least 1 hour for a quick set. For best texture, chill 3–12 hours or overnight for mini cheesecake no bake versions.
Optional ganache and garnish: melt milk chocolate with equal-weight cream, cool to room temperature, then spoon over chilled cups. Top with whipped cream and extra crumbs before serving.
Tips & Variations
Use full-fat cream cheese and 30–35% heavy cream for the most stable, rich filling. Swap in Cool Whip for a lighter, fast option that makes oreo dessert cups even quicker to assemble.
If the whipped cream becomes grainy, add a splash of cold cream and mix gently to smooth it out. Remove Oreo filling before crushing for a finer crust, or keep the filling for extra sweetness and convenience.
Try flavor twists like golden Oreos, Biscoff crust, or a drizzle of salted caramel. Make oreo dessert cups in jars for portability or press firmer into muffin tins to make mini cheesecake no bake rounds. Store assembled cups in an airtight container for 3–5 days, or keep crust and filling separate to preserve crunch.
