Tips to Make Oreo Dessert Cups

Make sure your cream cheese is softened; this helps to blend it smoothly with the other ingredients.
For an extra crunchy layer, save some of the crushed Oreos to add as a topping just before serving.
Want to make it even faster? You can use store-bought chocolate pudding instead of making it from scratch.

Variations

If you want to switch things up, consider using vanilla pudding instead of chocolate, or try adding a layer of fruit like strawberries or raspberries between the pudding and the cream cheese mixture for a fruity twist!
