Ingredients
- 12 chocolate cupcakes
- 24 Oreo cookies , divided (half for inside cupcakes, and half for topping at the end)
Oreo Frosting:
- 3/4 cup butter
- 2 1/4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 - 2 Tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup Oreo cookie crumbs (from crushing Oreos in a food processor or with a rolling pin)
Instructions
- Make chocolate cupcakes batter, either homemade or from a cake mix. Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners and spray lightly with cooking spray.
- Add a whole Oreo cookie to the bottom of each liner, and spoon cupcake batter over top.
- Bake cupcakes at 350 degrees for 17-24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cup of Yum
For the Frosting:
- Make Oreo Frosting: Mix the butter with electric beaters until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add powdered sugar, cream and vanilla and mix well, until light and fluffy. Stir in crushed Oreos cookie crumbs.
- Frost cupcakes, once cooled completely. Add an Oreo on top, if desired.
Notes
- Make Ahead Instructions: Unfrosted chocolate cupcakes will keep, covered, at room temperature or in the fridge for 2-3 days. Oreo frosting will keep in the fridge for 1-2 weeks.
- Freezing Instructions: I recommend storing the frosting and cupcakes seperatly, in air-tight containers in the freeze for up to 3 months. Allow frosting to thaw completely at room temperature before frosting cupcakes. To freeze frosted cupcakes, flash-freeze them uncovered on a tray for 30 minutes (to help the frosting keep its shape) before placing them in a freezer safe container.
