Learn how to make delicious Strawberry Oreo Cups. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

Ingredients

Scale

When I first started creating this recipe, I wanted ingredients that were simple, fresh, and accessible—just like grandma’s approach to cooking. Here’s what you’ll need to bring these beautiful Strawberry Oreo Cups to life:

  • 1 ½ cups (about 15-16) Oreo cookies (regular or double-stuffed)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (or margarine as a quick substitute)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (you can also use frozen strawberries, thawed and drained)
  • ½ cup powdered sugar (adjust based on sweetness of strawberries)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (full-fat for richness)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (or use coconut cream for a dairy-free version)
  • Optional: extra sliced strawberries and crushed Oreos for topping

For a little twist, you can substitute the cream cheese with mascarpone or Greek yogurt if you prefer a tangier flavor or a lighter texture. I’ve found that using fresh strawberries really makes a difference, but frozen berries are a handy alternative when out of season. My grandma always emphasized fresh, quality ingredients, and I find that they truly shine in recipes like this.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oreo crust: Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. If you don’t have a processor, you can put them in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Spoon about a tablespoon of the mixture into each mini cupcake liner or serving cup, pressing down firmly to form a crust. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to set.
  2. Make the strawberry filling: In a blender or food processor, combine the sliced strawberries and powdered sugar. Blend until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, pulse a few times instead. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the creamy filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and mix well. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined—this is my favorite part because it feels like creating a cloud of goodness!
  4. Assemble the cups: Spoon or pipe the cream mixture over the chilled Oreo crusts. Then, add a layer of the fresh strawberry puree or chunks on top. For an extra special touch, garnish with additional sliced strawberries and crushed Oreos. Chill the assembled cups for at least 30 minutes so everything sets together beautifully.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Once chilled, these Strawberry Oreo Cups are ready to be served. They taste best when slightly cold, with the creamy filling melting in your mouth and the strawberries adding a refreshing burst of flavor.
