Ingredients
1 ½ cups Oreo cookie crumbs (about 12 cookies, finely crushed)
4 tbsp melted butter
8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp mint extract (for a balanced blend of spearmint + peppermint flavor)
1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
Optional: green food coloring, mini chocolate chips or mint candies for garnish
Directions
Create OREO Crust Base: In a bowl, mix Oreo crumbs with melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand. Press evenly into the bottom of six serving cups to form a firm base layer.
Whip Cheesecake Filling: Using a mixer, beat together softened cream cheese, sugar, and mint extract until smooth and creamy. For that familiar mint‑green hue, add a drop or two of green food coloring if desired.
Fold in Whipped Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and airy.
Assemble Dessert Cups: Spoon or pipe the mint cheesecake filling over the chilled Oreo crust in each cup, filling to the top. Smooth the surface for a clean presentation.
Chill to Set: Place the filled cups in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, allowing the cheesecake layer to set and the flavors to meld.
Serve & Garnish: Just before serving, top each cheesecake cup with mini chocolate chips or mint candies for added crunch and visual appeal.
