Introduction

Need a last-minute Thanksgiving dessert? These 3-ingredient Oreo Pumpkin Cheesecake Cups are my go-to: creamy pumpkin filling over a crunchy Oreo base — ready in minutes and perfect to make ahead.

Ingredients (8–10 cups)

12 Oreo cookies (about 1 cup crumbs; keep filling)

1 cup pumpkin purée (NOT pumpkin pie filling)

1 cup cream cheese, softened (≈225 g)

Optional: whipped cream, cinnamon, chopped pecans, mini Oreo halves.

Step-by-Step

Prep: Line a muffin tin with 8–10 paper liners or use silicone molds.

1. Make Oreo crumbs

Food processor: pulse Oreos to fine crumbs.

No processor: put cookies in zip bag, crush with rolling pin.

2. Form crusts

Divide crumbs among liners (≈1–1.5 tbsp each).

Press firmly to make compact base.

3. Mix filling

Beat softened cream cheese until smooth.

Add pumpkin purée; mix until silky. (Optional: ¼ tsp pumpkin pie spice.)

4. Fill cups

Spoon or pipe filling over Oreo base, smooth top.

5. Chill to set

Refrigerate 2–4 hours (or freeze 30–45 mins for quick set).

6. Garnish & serve

Top with whipped cream, a dusting of cinnamon, pecans, or mini Oreo. Serve chilled.

Helpful tips

Soft cream cheese = easy mixing. Take out 20–30 min earlier.

No mixer? A fork works fine for small batches — I’ve made these in tiny kitchens!

Make ahead: assemble the night before for stress-free hosting.

Too loose? Add 1–2 tbsp powdered sugar or chill longer.

Variations

Spiced: add ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice.

Vegan: dairy-free cream cheese + vegan Oreos.

Crunchy: top with toasted pecans or granola.
