This month's Martha Stewart's Cupcakes Club recipe is Cookies and Cream Cheesecakes, chosen by Nina of Nina's Cupcakes. This was the second time I've made these mini cheesecakes. I made them back in January for my father in-law's birthday (and you can find the full recipe in my post about them), and they went over very well. So when I realized I had an opportunity to make them again with the group, I was pretty excited. However, I decided to switch things up a bit, and use inside-out Oreos! The cookies I chose to use were vanilla cookies on the outside, chocolate filling on the inside. Yum.
One cookie is placed in the bottom of each cupcake liner, serving as the tasty crust to the mini cheesecake. Then, a very simple filling is mixed together and dispersed among the cupcake cups.
There's even more cookie goodness contained inside the cupcake batter, which really adds some great texture to the creamy cheesecake. These were loved by everyone who tried them (my husband brought them to work with him). It's always fun to surprise people with the Oreo cookie crust, and the fact that they had the chocolate in the center certainly didn't hurt, either!
Thank you so much, Nina, for choosing these cupcakes this month! It was great to revisit such a fantastic recipe. I'm even thinking about how good these would be with peanut butter-filled Oreos, or mint-filled Oreos at Christmastime. You've got options with this one. No matter what flavor Oreo you use, these are awesome! Make sure to check out the blogroll to see how the other MSC members fared.

Those Oreos look so good! After I made mine I was thinking of all the possibilities... Peanut Butter Oreos is next on my list!
ReplyDeleteI never thought about mixing up the oreos...what a good idea. Yours look great! And I can see why you were happy to bake these again.
ReplyDeleteYours came out much neater than mine. Notice I didn't post any in process photos- it was a messy cupcake making for me. Vanilla oreos! My husband would love that!!
ReplyDeleteI love the changes you made, inside out Oreos. Creativity can make all the difference.
ReplyDeleteOoooh.....I'll have to try them with different Oreos next time. They look delicious!
ReplyDeleteLove the inside out oreos. Someone also suggested that you could use the special oreos that they make in different colors for different seasons. Its fun to see how things come out!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! They look awesome.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of the inside out Oreos. I think this recipe has so many possibilities.
ReplyDeleteThese were really good! I love your variation!
ReplyDeleteThanks for baking with me this month! I loved the variation. You definitely have given me some ideas for Christmas presents for people. These would have been super fun with different oreos. The chocolate filling must have been amazing!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. I cannot keep Golden O's around because I will eat the entire package in like 2 days. I have never really cared for regular Oreo's but those vanilla ones are like crack. That said, I think you can guess how good this recipe sounds to me :)
ReplyDeleteGuys inhaled these. I wish I had used the white papers, don't know what I was thinking that day...yours look so pretty in the white wrappers. Nice job.
