How long can I store these dessert cups in the fridge?

You can keep assembled cups in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. After that the cookie base may soften and the texture of the creamy filling might slightly change, so for best results enjoy within 1–2 days.

Can I make the cookie base ahead of time?

Yes—pre-crush the cookies and mix them with melted butter up to 24 hours in advance, then press into your cups just before filling. It saves time and keeps the crust firmer when you’re ready to assemble.

What if the filling is too runny?

If your filling seems loose, make sure your cream cheese was fully softened and your heavy cream was whipped until stiff peaks formed. Additionally, folding whipped cream gently helps retain volume—over-mixing can cause it to deflate.

Can I scale this recipe for a large baking dish instead of individual cups?

Absolutely. You can pour the same crust and filling into an 8×8-inch dish (or similar), then chill and serve like a bar or pie. Just remember to adjust the garnish and crumb layer to match the larger format.
