Ingredients You’ll Need

These ingredients are wonderfully simple yet each one plays a vital role in building the irresistible texture and flavor profile of No Bake Strawberry Oreo Cheesecake Cups with Greek Yogurt. From the silky smooth cream cheese to the bursts of juicy strawberries, every element has its special place in this delightful dessert.

Cream cheese (8 oz, softened): The rich and creamy base that makes the cheesecake luscious and smooth.
Plain Greek yogurt (1 cup): Adds a tangy brightness and lightens up the creaminess, giving the cups a fresh, healthy twist.
Maple syrup (3 Tbsp): Natural sweetness that blends perfectly without overpowering the other flavors.
Vanilla extract (1 tsp): Enhances the overall flavor with warm, sweet undertones.
Oreos (14, including cream filling): Crushed for that crunchy, chocolatey contrast and irresistible cookie flavor.
Strawberries (8 oz, diced): Fresh fruit that provides juiciness, color, and a burst of natural sweetness.
Whipped cream (optional): A light, fluffy topping to add a touch of decadence just before serving.

How to Make No Bake Strawberry Oreo Cheesecake Cups with Greek Yogurt

Step 1: Prepare Your Cream Cheese

Start by setting your cream cheese out on the counter about an hour before making the dessert. This step is crucial because softened cream cheese blends smoothly and creates that luscious, creamy texture without lumps in your cheesecake cups.

Step 2: Crush the Oreos

Place the Oreos in a zippable bag and crush them using a rolling pin. You can also use a food processor if you want a finer texture. The crushed Oreos will add the perfect chocolate crunch to the layered cups, balancing the creamy and fruity layers beautifully.

Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, plain Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Mix everything well with a fork, mashing the cream cheese as you go, until the mixture becomes silky smooth. If you prefer, an electric mixer works wonders here to achieve that perfect creamy consistency.

Step 4: Layer Your Cups

Take your parfait jars or serving glasses and spoon or pipe about 1/4 cup of the cheesecake filling into the bottom. Next, sprinkle 2 to 3 tablespoons of the crushed Oreos over the filling, followed by a layer of 2 to 3 tablespoons of diced strawberries. Repeat these layers—cheesecake filling, Oreos, strawberries—until the jars are nicely filled. I usually get around six layers in each jar: two layers of each component to create a harmonious blend of flavors and textures in every bite.

Step 5: Add Optional Whipped Cream

If you’re feeling a little extra indulgent, pipe or spoon some whipped cream on top just before serving. This adds a lovely lightness and creaminess that crowns the dessert beautifully.

How to Serve No Bake Strawberry Oreo Cheesecake Cups with Greek Yogurt

Garnishes

Sprinkle a few whole Oreo crumbs or a slice of fresh strawberry on top to add a pop of color and texture. A fresh mint leaf can also make for a pretty, aromatic touch. These small garnishes turn your dessert cups into charming little masterpieces.

Side Dishes

Since these cheesecake cups are rich yet refreshing, serve them alongside a crisp green salad or a light fruit salad for balance. For a cozy event, pair them with a cup of hot coffee or tea—their creaminess complements the warmth perfectly.

Creative Ways to Present

Try serving these in mini mason jars for an adorable picnic presentation or use clear dessert glasses that showcase the beautiful layers. You can also spoon the layers into wide, shallow bowls and garnish with extra strawberries for a rustic, family-style dessert experience.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

You can keep leftover No Bake Strawberry Oreo Cheesecake Cups with Greek Yogurt covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just make sure to use airtight containers or cover the cups tightly with plastic wrap to prevent them from absorbing any fridge odors.

Freezing

Freezing this dessert is not recommended because the texture of Greek yogurt and fresh strawberries can change after thawing and become watery or grainy. It’s best enjoyed fresh or within a couple of days refrigerated.

Reheating

Since this is a no bake cold dessert, it’s designed to be served chilled. Reheating is unnecessary and would spoil the refreshing texture and flavors. Simply let refrigerated cups sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before eating if they’ve gotten too cold.

FAQs

Can I use flavored Greek yogurt instead of plain?

Using flavored Greek yogurt can add unexpected sweetness or flavors that may clash with the dessert’s balance. Plain Greek yogurt offers the perfect tangy contrast needed, but if you want to experiment, make sure the flavors complement the strawberries and Oreos.

Is it possible to make these vegan or dairy-free?

Absolutely! Swap the cream cheese for a dairy-free cream cheese alternative and use coconut or almond yogurt in place of Greek yogurt. Check that Oreos or your choice of cookies are vegan-friendly, and use maple syrup or agave for sweetness.

Can I prepare these cups ahead of time for a party?

Yes, these are fantastic make-ahead desserts. Prepare them up to a day in advance and keep them refrigerated. The flavors actually deepen as they chill, making them taste even better the next day.

What if I don’t have maple syrup? Can I substitute it?

You can substitute maple syrup with honey, agave nectar, or simple syrup. Just remember that each has a slightly different sweetness and flavor profile, so adjust the amount to your taste.

How many servings does this recipe make?

This recipe typically makes about 4 to 6 individual cups, depending on the size of your jars or glasses. It’s perfect for a small gathering or a family treat!
