Oreo Cheesecake Cupcakes
Oreo cheesecake = YUM! These little cupcakes are perfect because they’re cheesecake with Oreo chunks in them and even an extra Oreo at the bottom. I love that you can actually see the Oreo at the bottom through these cupcake liners.
This recipe comes from Martha Stewart’s cupcake cookbook and it doesn’t disappoint. These were a big hit which is no surprise. I left my chunks fairly large in the cheesecake batter because that’s how I roll. Feel free to chop yours up smaller if you want. (Sorry for the lack of photos, these were so good we started gobbling them up as soon as they were chilled).

Yield: 30
Ingredients:
42 cream-filled sandwich cookies, such as Oreos, 30 left whole, and 12 coarsely chopped
2 pounds cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten
1 cup sour cream
Pinch of salt
Directions:
Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners. Place 1 whole cookie in the bottom of each lined cup.
With an electric mixer on medium high speed, beat cream cheese until smooth, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Gradually add sugar, and beat until combined. Beat in vanilla.
Drizzle in eggs, a bit at a time, beating to combine and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in sour cream and salt. Stir in chopped cookies by hand.
Divide batter evenly among cookie-lined cups, filling each almost to the top. Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until filling is set, about 22 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Refrigerate at least 4 hours (or up to overnight). Remove from tins just before serving.

Your costumes are so cute!
I love the fondant too. I’m going to be trying fondant for the first time next weekend. You make it look so simple!
I MUST try this! I’ve been avoiding fondant cause of all the terrible things I’ve heard about the taste. Problem solved – thanks! You guys are so creative with the costumes too.
That is so awesome. An annual pirate party? Sounds like a blast. I love your shirts too. If my kids weren’t already set on their Halloween costumes, I’d suggest being a treasure map instead. That is so creative!!!
Oops – forgot to mention the cupcakes. : )
Very cool. I’ve never made fondant because I’m afraid it tastes bad. Is it good?
It is good! It tastes like marshmallow but sweeter.
Delicious! If that was your first time making fondant I would give yourself a big pat on the back:) It looks awesome! I need some mad cupcake skills like yours!
After my current box of fondant has run out I am so making some marshmallow fondant – and now that I know you can use the KitchenAid even better!
Wow, you did an amazing job! Thank you for the fondant tutorial, I’ve never made fondant before… you make it look so easy!
just went to a party on saturday. if you show up without a costume the rest of the guests get to pick a costume out of the box of last years costumes for you to wear heeh
