A quick, no-bake Halloween dessert featuring layers of creamy pumpkin cheesecake mousse and crushed Oreo cookie ‘dirt’. This easy treat comes together in under 20 minutes and is perfect for parties or last-minute gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Oreo cookies (original flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • Mini chocolate chips (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
  2. Melt the butter and mix it with the cookie crumbs until they resemble damp sand. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
  4. Add the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Beat on low speed just until combined.
  5. In a separate cold bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin cream cheese mixture until no white streaks remain.
  7. Assemble the cups by adding a layer of cookie crumbs to the bottom of serving cups.
  8. Pipe or spoon the pumpkin mixture on top, mounding it high.
  9. Sprinkle additional cookie crumbs on top to create the ‘dirt’ effect. Add mini chocolate chips if desired.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the cups to set.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps. Do not use pumpkin pie filling; use 100% pure pumpkin puree. For best texture, consume within 24 hours as cookies will soften over time. Keep heavy cream and bowls cold for optimal whipping.
