Who doesn’t love an Oreo? That classic chocolate-and-cream combo is the stuff dessert dreams are made of. But what if I told you we could take it up a notch? Enter Oreo Cookie Butter Cups, a no-bake masterpiece that combines the irresistible crunch of Oreo cookies, the lightness of sugar-free whipped cream, and the rich, nutty goodness of melted cookie butter. Yes, you heard that right. This recipe is a riff on a creation from the one and only Baked by Melissa, the cupcake queen herself, and it’s the kind of dessert that feels fancy but is incredibly easy to make.

Oreo Cookie Butter Cups: The Ultimate No-Bake Treat
So, let’s break it down. These individual icebox cupcakes come together in a flash, with no oven required—just a bit of layering magic and some patience as they chill in the fridge. And don’t worry, even though these taste indulgent, they’re lighter than you’d expect, thanks to the sugar-free whipped cream.
What Makes Oreo Cookie Butter Cups Special?
First off, cookie butter. If you haven’t tried this glorious spread yet, imagine the most decadent cookies you’ve ever eaten blended into a smooth, buttery paste. It’s like peanut butter, but made from caramelized, spiced cookies (speculoos cookies, to be exact). When melted down, cookie butter transforms into a silky topping that drips between layers of crushed Oreo cookies and whipped cream.
And speaking of Oreo cookies, they’re not just a garnish here—they’re the base, the crunch, and the backbone of this dessert. They provide that satisfying bite and perfectly balance out the creamy, buttery richness of the other ingredients. I used dark chocolate Oreo cookies but you can use whatever variety you prefer.
The sugar-free whipped cream ties it all together, adding a cloud-like fluffiness that feels light enough to justify indulging in two (or three) of these little beauties. And if you want to use “regular” whipped cream instead, you can use sugar instead of monkfruit.

How to Make Oreo Cookie Butter Cups
To make your Oreo Cookie Butter Cups, you’ll need a package of Oreo cookies, a jar of cookie butter, and either homemade or store bought whipped cream. Here’s how it goes:
Crush the Oreos: Take your Oreo cookies and crush them into coarse crumbs. You can do this with a food processor or by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and giving them a few satisfying whacks with a rolling pin.
Melt the Cookie Butter: Warm the cookie butter in the microwave for 20–30 seconds until it becomes smooth and pourable.
Assemble: In small individual cups or ramekins, layer a spoonful of crushed Oreos, followed by a layer of whipped cream. Drizzle a bit of melted cookie butter over the top, then repeat the layers, finishing with cookie butter on top.
Chill: Let the cups chill in the fridge for at least two hours to set.
When you’re ready to serve, these individual Oreo Cookie Butter Cups will have the perfect balance of cool, creamy texture, with just the right amount of crunch from the Oreo cookies and that oh-so-satisfying gooeyness from the cookie butter. It’s a little bit of everything you love in a dessert, all rolled into one bite-sized, indulgent cup.
So, the next time you’re craving something sweet but don’t want to turn on the oven, these Oreo Cookie Butter Cups are your answer. Easy, decadent, and oh-so-satisfying—what more could you ask for?
