- The filling is set when it no longer jiggles when the cup is gently tapped.
- Make the cups a day ahead and keep chilled for firmer slices.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these dessert cups ahead of time?
Absolutely – they actually taste better after the flavors meld for a few hours in the fridge.
What if I don’t have a food processor for the crust?
Place the Oreos in a zip‑top bag and crush with a rolling pin; it works just as well.
