Ingredients

Chocolate Cookie Crust:

2 cups crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (320 g)
¼ cup melted butter (56 g)

Cookies and Cream Filling:

8 oz cream cheese, room temperature (227 g)
¾ cup granulated sugar (150 g)
2 tsp vanilla extract
1½ cups heavy cream (357 g)
½ cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (80 g)

How to Make Cookies and Cream Dessert Cups

Make the crust: Mix cookie crumbs and melted butter in a small bowl until well blended.
Assemble the base: Scoop evenly into 28 2-ounce cups. Press firmly using the bottom of a clean cup to create a flat base.
Whip the filling: In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add vanilla and heavy cream, whipping until light, fluffy, and fully whipped.
Fold in crushed cookies: Gently stir in the remaining 1/2 cup crushed cookies.
Fill the cups: Transfer filling to a piping bag and pipe into cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Top and chill: Garnish each cup with a mini cookie or a sprinkle of extra crumbs. Cover with lids and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Pro Tips for Party-Perfect Cups

Let the cream cheese soften fully before mixing to avoid lumps.
A stand mixer or hand mixer on medium-high gives you the best whipped texture.
No piping bag? Use a zip-top bag and snip the corner for a DIY version.
Want extra cookie flair? Add a full-sized cookie between the crust and filling layers.

A Family Favorite Story

The first time I made these cups was for my niece’s bake sale—and they sold out in under 10 minutes. Parents were asking for the recipe, and the kids loved how they could eat them with a spoon while running around. Now, I whip them up for every family party. They’re always the first dessert to disappear, and I always wish I’d made a double batch.

Serving and Storage

These party treat cups are perfect for birthday parties, BBQs, or holiday buffets. Serve them chilled straight from the fridge for best texture. They’ll keep fresh for 2–3 days covered in the refrigerator. You can even freeze them (without the mini cookie garnish) and thaw before serving.

FAQs About Cookies and Cream Dessert Cups

Can I use store-brand cookies?

Absolutely! Any chocolate sandwich cookie will work.

Can I prep these ahead of time?

Yes—just keep them covered and chilled until serving.
