It’s almost VALENTINE’S DAY, which means LOVE and a LOVE FOR CHOCOLATE is in the air! So in an effort to satisfy the desire for a ‘decadent‘ chocolate dessert, I used real Oreo cookies as the crust, and in an effort to make these cute little cheesecake cups ‘lightened up‘ I used a light and creamy ingredient~ Cool Whip!
The Cool Whip allows the filling of these cheesecake cups to be fluffy and creamy (even when frozen!) I served these up to my favorite taste testers (my hubby and sister), and they couldn’t stop raving about how rich and chocolatey they were. Now that’s a success in my book!
Once these are firmed up, I transfered the leftovers to an airtight container and stored in the freezer - perfect for when you need a quick chocolate fix!

Hey I’m planning to make these in mini muffin pans, should I use mini Oreos or crush them and make little crusts?
Dashing Dish said:
i would crush and make little crusts
Ana said:
should i just crush up the oreos and mix with some melted butter and then press in the bottom and then bake or freeze them?
Dashing Dish said:
