How this recipe comes together
Creating these Oreo Dessert Cups is straightforward. First, you’ll blend together your Oreo cookie crumbs and butter, then press that mixture down to form the crust in your dessert cups. Next up, you’ll whip the cream cheese, gently folding in freshly whipped cream for that airy, light texture. Finally, the mixture gets layered over the crust, topped with mini Oreos, and chilled—simple, right?
