Preparation Steps
  1. In a small mixing bowl, combine crushed chocolate sandwich cookies with melted butter until resembling wet sand, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Press the cookie mixture tightly into the bottoms of 28 two-ounce cups to form a stable crust.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Gradually add heavy cream and vanilla extract, then whip on high for 4-5 minutes until thickened.
  5. Gently fold in additional crushed chocolate sandwich cookies into the whipped cream cheese mixture.
  6. Carefully fill each cup with the cookies and cream filling, stopping about three-quarters from the top.
  7. Top each filled cup with a mini chocolate sandwich cookie or extra cookie crumbs.
  8. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow filling to firm up.
