Ingredients
Creating these Strawberry Oreo Cups is as simple as gathering a few key ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 package of Oreo cookies (around 36 cookies)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
If you’re looking for a twist, you could substitute the cream cheese with mascarpone for an even creamier texture. And if strawberries aren’t in season, raspberries or blueberries make great alternatives.
Instructions
Let’s dive into making these delightful cups. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide:
- Begin by crushing the Oreo cookies in a food processor until they form fine crumbs. If you don’t have a processor, place them in a sealed bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Mix the Oreo crumbs with the melted butter until well combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of muffin tins lined with paper liners to form a base for each cup. Place in the refrigerator to set.
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese until well combined.
- Layer a spoonful of the cream mixture over the Oreo base, followed by a layer of sliced strawberries. Repeat the layers until the cups are filled.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the cups to set.
Once set, these Strawberry Oreo Cups are ready to be enjoyed. I love how the layers look so inviting, much like the layered experiences of my childhood meals.
