Ingredients
Crust
- 96 g Oreos blended to fine crumbs (about 9 cookies)
- 24 g butter melted
Filling
- 8 oz full-fat cream cheese room temperature (226 g)
- 45 g powdered sugar sifted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/2 cup cold heavy cream 120 g
- 8 cookies Oreos about 88 g, chopped and folded in at the end
Topping
- 5 cookies Oreos halved, for decorating
Instructions
- Mix the crumbs. Stir the blended Oreos with about 90% of the melted butter until evenly damp and sandy. Squeeze a handful in your palm — if it holds its shape, it's ready. If it crumbles, work in the rest of the butter.96 g Oreos, 24 g butter
- Press into liners. Divide the crumbs between 9 cupcake liners (about 13 g each) and press down lightly with the back of a spoon. Chill while you make the filling.
- Whip the cream. Whip the cold heavy cream to medium peaks — when you lift the whisk, the peak should hold but flop over softly at the tip. Set aside.1/2 cup cold heavy cream
- Beat the cream cheese. In a separate bowl, beat the room-temperature cream cheese with the powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as you go.8 oz full-fat cream cheese, 45 g powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 pinch salt
- Fold in the cream. Add the whipped cream and fold gently with a spatula until no white streaks remain. Don't stir hard or you'll knock the air out.
- Fold in the Oreos. Stir in the chopped Oreos, keeping the mix gentle so the filling stays light.8 cookies Oreos
- Fill the liners. Spoon the filling over the chilled crusts, dividing it evenly between the liners. Smooth the tops.
- Decorate. Press an Oreo half onto each one if you like.5 cookies Oreos
- Chill. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until the filling is firm enough to hold its shape.
- Serve. Peel off the liners and serve cold, straight from the fridge.
