Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups crushed chocolate cookies preferably sandwich cookies like Oreos, crushed finely
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened until smooth
  • ½ cup powdered sugar for sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract enhances flavor
  • 1 cup heavy cream whipped until soft peaks form

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Serving cups or glasses
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Place the crushed cookies in a mixing bowl and set aside.
  2. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Gently fold the whipped heavy cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined, creating a light and fluffy filling.
  4. Spoon a layer of the crushed cookies into the bottom of each serving cup, pressing down slightly to form a base.
  5. Dollop the creamy cheese mixture over the cookie base, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
  6. Finish by sprinkling additional crushed cookies on top for texture and appearance.
  7. Refrigerate the cups for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set slightly.
  8. Serve chilled, with the cookie crumbs adding crunch to the smooth, creamy filling.
