2. Ingredients for the Strawberry Oreo Cheesecake Cups

• 1 ½ cups crushed Oreo cookies (about 15 cookies)
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 16 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
• ½ cup strawberry jam or puree
• Optional: whipped cream and extra strawberries for garnish

3. Step-By-Step Guide to Making the Cheesecake Cups

Step 1: Prepare the Oreo Crust

Start by crushing the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. You can do this easily using a Fullstar Ultimate Veggie Prep Master or a food processor. Mix the crumbs with melted butter until well combined. Divide the mixture evenly into the bottoms of your serving cups or jars and press down firmly to create a solid crust.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, blending thoroughly. Mix in the sour cream to add richness. For a smoother texture, you can use a KitchenAid Stand Mixer.

Step 3: Layer the Strawberry Puree and Fresh Strawberries

Gently fold in the chopped strawberries and strawberry jam into the cheesecake filling. This adds a fruity flavor and vibrant color to your dessert. Spoon a layer of the strawberry mixture over the Oreo crust in each cup.

Step 4: Assemble the Cheesecake Cups

Carefully spoon or pipe the remaining cheesecake filling on top of the strawberry layer. Smooth the surface with the back of a spoon or a spatula. Chill the cups in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours or until set.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Before serving, top with whipped cream and fresh strawberries for extra flavor. For added crunch and flavor, sprinkle some crushed Oreos on top. Serve these cheesecake cups cold and enjoy the perfect combination of creamy, fruity, and crunchy textures.

4. Storage Tips for Your Cheesecake Cups

Keep your strawberry cheesecake cups refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days for the best taste and freshness. If you want to prepare ahead, assemble the cups without garnishes and add toppings just before serving. For long-term storage, they can also be frozen for up to a month, but consume within a day after thawing for optimal creaminess.
