Place 24 Oreo cookies into a resealable plastic bag. Use a rolling pin or the back of a heavy pan to crush the cookies into fine crumbs. Ensure there are no large chunks remaining.

Transfer the crushed Oreo crumbs to a medium mixing bowl. Pour the 1/4 cup of melted butter over the crumbs. Mix thoroughly with a spoon or spatula until all crumbs are evenly moistened and resemble wet sand.

Take several small serving cups (approximately 4-6, depending on size). Add approximately one tablespoon of the Oreo crumb mixture to the bottom of each cup. Use the bottom of a smaller cup or glass to firmly press down the crumbs, forming a compact and even base layer.

In a separate large bowl, add the 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Use an electric hand mixer to beat these ingredients on medium speed until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well combined, with no lumps of cream cheese remaining.

In another clean, chilled bowl, pour 1 cup of cold heavy cream. Using an electric hand mixer with clean beaters, whip the cream on high speed until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip, as it can turn grainy.

Gently fold the whipped heavy cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Continue to fold until the whipped cream is fully incorporated and the mixture is light, airy, and uniform in texture. Avoid overmixing to maintain the airy consistency.

Spoon the combined cream mixture into each serving cup, layering it over the pressed Oreo crust. Fill the cups to the top, smoothing the surface with the back of a spoon or an offset spatula.

Garnish each Oreo cream cup with a few mini Oreo cookies on top for decoration. Place the filled cups in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the cream to set and the flavors to meld.
