Being in charge of Mother’s Day dessert this year, I wanted to make something different than the usual cookies or brownies. My first thought was a cheesecake, however I had never made a cheesecake, and wasn’t sure if I wanted to risk it not coming out well when I would be the only one bringing dessert.
So I decided to make Cookies and Cream Cupcakes aka Oreo Cheesecake Cupcakes! The ingredients are simple enough and it wasn’t a lot of work to throw it all together.
The most difficult part was having a little self-control and not eating all the Oreos! I did buy an extra pack of Oreos because I knew I would sneak a few a lot before making the cupcakes.
The cupcakes do need to be refrigerated before they are ready to be served, so I would recommend making them the day before. And they also taste much better served really cold!
With the hidden Oreo cookie on the bottom, the cupcakes have just the right amount of sweet to them without being overly rich. However, if that isn’t enough for your sweet tooth, you can add a dollop of whipped cream to the top of the cupcake!
Ingredients
40 Oreos (30 whole, 10 chopped)
32 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 eggs
1 cup sour cream
Directions
Preheat oven to 275º
Place liners in a muffin pan, add 1 whole Oreo to the bottom
Beat cream cheese until smooth using hand mixer, gradually add the sugar, beating until combined, add vanilla
Whisk eggs in a separate bowl then slowly mix into cream cheese
Beat in sour cream until everything is well mixed
Add chopped Oreos
Divide batter evenly, filling to almost the top
Bake for about 22 minutes, until filling is set
Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours
Oh, man! Matt would love these!! He loves Oreos.
Kelly this looks awesome, soft n yummy. Perhaps after my 10 day sugar detox this can be my treat lol!!!
These look SO delicious! I wouldn’t be able to control myself if I made these.
Must. Stay. Away. lol
Enabler! I HAVE to go to the store tomorrow and make these. It’s all your fault 🙂 Love you!
Excited to make these for a cookies and cream lover….
I noticed it called for 40 cookies? My muffin tins are 6 and 12. Would I half the recipe for 24 cookies?
Yum! These look so good! This recipe sounds like it makes the perfect single-serving little cheesecakes! 🙂
Looks delicious! I would love it if you joined and contribute your awesome posts at my link party at City of Creative Dreams on Fridays 😀 Hope to see you there at City of Creative Dreams Link Party.
I made some like this before, but I think they were more cakey. Yours look more like cheesecake and they sound amazing! I’m definitely going to try these!
Get in my belly! Those look d-leeeesh. Thanks for linking up to Monday Funday! xo
These would be huge at my house! Will pin for later!
Oh wow. I wouldn’t be able to stop with just one of these. They look so good. I’ve pinned it to put it on my grocery list.
I have some Oreo lovers in this house. Combined that with the cupcake lovers and I am pretty sure everyone is going to die for these! They turned out so pretty too! Thanks for linking at Taste Tuesdays!
what a fun cupcake idea
Oh my gosh, these are AWESOME! Love this idea.

I already know my kids would absolutely love this. Pinned. Thanks for sharing on Merry Monday.
This looks absolutely delightful. Thanks for linking it with TurnItUpTuesday!
I’ve stumbled across this recipe too. I love it! I’m an Oreo freak anyway. I’ve also made muffins this similar way too. Delish! I’m stopping by from the blog hop & I hope your having a great Thursday!
Oh my they look delicious, I never would have thought about making a cupcake with an oreo hidden at the bottom! #supermommyclub
Kelly this is such a GREAT idea!! 🙂 I love mini cheesecakes (my next post is on one too!) but I HATE bashing cookies for the crust. I would have to buy a packet extra for me too! 🙂 I love oreos on anything. 🙂 Love your blog!
