Ingredients

Cupcakes

  • 1 Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix I use Betty Crocker
  • 1 ¼ Cups Milk
  • 4 Eggs
  • ½ Cup Butter melted

OREO Cheesecake Filling

  • 1 8 ounceCream Cheese Block, softened
  • 12 OREO Cookies crushed
  • 3-4 Cups Powdered Sugar

OREO Buttercream Frosting

  • 1 Cup Butter softened
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 12 OREO Cookies crushed
  • 3-4 Cups Powdered Sugar
  • 2-3 Tablespoons Milk

Instructions

Cupcakes

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place cupcake liners in each of the cups of a cupcake/muffin pan.
  • Add the eggs to the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl. Beat the eggs lightly.
  • Add the cake mix, melted butter, and milk. Beat the batter on low for about 30 seconds until moistened, then on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
  • Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, place three scoops (3 tablespoons) of batter in each cup.
  • Bake the cupcakes for 13-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Baking times may vary by oven, so watch your cupcakes carefully.
  • Allow them to cool for 2-3 minutes. Remove the cupcakes from the pan and place them on a cooling rack to completely cool.
  • Once the cupcakes have cooled, use a knife or a cupcake corer to remove the center of each cupcake.

OREO Cheesecake Filling

  • Add the softened cream cheese to a mixing bowl. Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Slowly add the powdered sugar, a little at a time and beat until incorporated.
  • Crush the OREO cookies in a food processor or blender. Add the cookie crumbs to the cream cheese and mix.
  • Add the OREO cheesecake filling to a disposable piping bag or a large Ziploc bag and cut off the end. Pipe the filling into the holes in the center of the cupcakes.

OREO Buttercream Frosting

  • Crush the OREO cookies in a food processor or blender.
  • Beat the softened butter in a stand mixer until light and fluffy.
  • Add the vanilla and crushed cookie crumbs. Mix together.
  • Add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing in between.
  • Add the milk one tablespoon at a time, until your desired consistency is reached. Beat the frosting for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the OREO Buttercream to a piping bag with a Wilton 1M star tip.
  • Pipe the frosting on top of the cupcakes in a circular motion.
  • Sprinkle extra OREO crumbs on top or add mini-OREOs to make Mickey Mouse ears!
