A few weeks ago my husband and I were out for dinner, and the restaurant had Oreo Cheesecake on the menu. We were too full for dessert, but I decided I had to make Oreo Cheesecake for the family. Since it has been so hot I didn’t want to run the oven, and decided to create No Bake Oreo Cheesecake Cups for the family to enjoy.
I added cherries because that is the fruit in season around here right now, although I am sure it would be just as good with raspberries or strawberries. I wasn’t sure how many Oreos I’d need for the crust, but my kids and husband found the cookies and ate about half the package, which luckily left me with just about the right amount.
I made the cheesecakes in little glass canning jars of various sizes. I like using these jars since I have an entire cupboard full of them from when I used to can. Plus it is easier to fit them into corners of our always too full refrigerator when they are in individual jars.
