Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 12 Oreo cookies, crushed
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Cheesecake Filling

  • 250g cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped
  • 1/4 tsp peppermint extract

Topping

  • 4–5 Oreo cookies, crushed
  • Optional: mini candy canes or peppermint pieces for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies with the melted unsalted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of 4 to 6 serving cups to form a solid crust. Place cups in the refrigerator to chill for 10 to 15 minutes, allowing the crust to set.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling: In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese together with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the peppermint extract and stir to incorporate evenly, infusing the filling with a refreshing mint flavor.
  3. Incorporate whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped heavy cream into the cream cheese mixture, taking care not to deflate the whipped cream. Continue folding until the mixture is smooth, light, and fully combined, creating a fluffy cheesecake filling.
  4. Assemble the cups: Spoon the prepared cheesecake filling over the chilled Oreo crust in each serving cup. Use the back of a spoon to smooth the tops evenly for a neat presentation.
  5. Add the topping and chill: Sprinkle crushed Oreos and, if using, mini candy canes or peppermint pieces on top of each cheesecake cup for added texture and holiday flair. Refrigerate the assembled cups for at least 2 hours to allow the cheesecake to set properly.
  6. Serve: Serve the cheesecake cups chilled and enjoy a festive, no-bake peppermint Oreo treat that’s perfect for gatherings or an indulgent dessert at home.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth filling without lumps.
  • Use freshly whipped cream for best texture and fluffiness.
  • These cheesecake cups can be made up to 24 hours in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
  • For a stronger peppermint flavor, increase peppermint extract to 1/2 teaspoon, but adjust to taste.
  • If you prefer a less sweet dessert, reduce powdered sugar slightly.
  • Crushed Oreo topping adds crunch, but can be substituted with white chocolate shavings or crushed peppermint candies.
