Healthier No Bake Cookies and Cream Cups

healthier cookies and cream cups

if you’ve been craving that nostalgic cookies and cream flavor but want something made with better-for-you ingredients, these healthier cookies and cream cups are going to be your new favorite treat.

they’re rich, creamy, chocolatey, and have that perfect cookies-and-cream crunch thanks to crushed healthier oreos in both the base and the filling.

taste + texture

these cups are a dream for dessert lovers.

the base is chewy, fudgy, and chocolate-packed from almond flour, cocoa powder, almond butter, flax meal, and naturally sweet dates.

the filling is creamy, tangy, and sweet all at once thanks to a blend of cream cheese, greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

add in crushed cookies and you get a little crunch in every single bite.

better-for-you ingredients

instead of refined sugar and heavy processed oils, these cups are made with nutrient-dense staples like almond flour, flax, and dates.

greek yogurt and cream cheese add protein and creaminess, while almond butter contributes healthy fats.

you’ll still get that indulgent, classic flavor, but in a way that feels nourishing too.

substitution options

• nut butter: use cashew or peanut butter if almond butter isn’t your favorite.
• flour: swap almond flour with oat flour for a slightly different flavor and texture.
• sweetener: maple syrup is the main sweetener for the filling, but honey works as well if you’re not making these vegan.
• milk: any dairy or dairy-free milk works perfectly in the base.

healthier oreo brands

if you’re looking for cookies with simpler ingredients, try brands like:

• simple mills: made with almond flour and coconut sugar.
• hu kitchen: paleo-friendly cookies with clean ingredients.
• glutino: a great gluten-free option.
• or make your own “oreo” style cookies if you have the time!

how to make vegan

you can easily make these completely dairy-free by swapping:

• cream cheese → vegan cream cheese
• greek yogurt → thick coconut yogurt (full fat works best for creaminess)

they’ll still be rich, creamy, and delicious with those swaps.

storage

store the cups in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

for a firmer texture, you can freeze them—just let them sit at room temp for about 20 minutes before eating so the filling softens a bit.
