Oreo cheesecake cupcakes are everybody’s favourite birthday party dessert. Crunchy bottom Oreo cookies with smooth cream cheese filling and topped with creamy sweet whipped cream. Great dessert for any occasion.
Who doesn’t love Oreo cookies!
Oreo cookies are everybody’s favourite cookies. Dipping in the milk, let it soak and then that delicious bite. Yummy!!! Oh yes, I have a confession; I love Oreo cookies and I can not lie!
And now imagine mixing Oreo cookie crumbs with cream cheese. My heart is and more my tummy will be on a cloud nine. The explosion of smooth cream cheese mixed with Oreo crumbs is the best combo ever! I think you are definately with me!
If you don’t know yet, I am a big cheesecakes fan, that’s why you will find so many recipes for cheesecakes on my blog. So the combination of famous Oreo cookies and cream cheese is the best ever!
Oreo cupcakes are worth making in large batch
My recipe calls for 12 Oreo cheesecake cupcakes. I used to make these cupcakes in a double batch, which will give you 24 cupcakes, but a recent survey showed me that for some of you it might be too much, and so I have decided to rewrite the recipe for only 12 cupcakes. You can always easily double the batch.
Can I make Oreo cheesecake cupcakes in advance?
Yes you can. You can follow the whole recipe until the baking and chilling process. Once the cupcakes are chilled, wrap them individually in food foil and place them in airtight container or ziploc bag. You can freeze these cupcakes (without the whipped cream) in the freezer for up to 3 months.
When you decide to serve them, take them out of the freezer a night before you will serve them. Just before serving them, whip the heavy cream and decorate them.
How to make Oreo cheesecake cupcakes
For the crust
If you will be using Oreo crumbs (easy way) it’s very quickly done. Just mix the Oreo crumbs with melted unsalted butter and press 1 tablespoon (approximately) in each muffin liner and press it to the bottom with the spoon.
If you will be using Oreo cookies and crushing them in a food processor, then you can either remove the cream from the cookies and continue adding melted butter and pressing the mixture into the bottom of the muffin liner. But if you are going to leave the cream on the cookies, then add first only 1 tablespoon of butter into the crushed Oreo cookies. Combine it with the butter and if the crust already looks like a wet sand, you won’t need to add the additional second tablespoon of butter. Press the Oreo mixture into the bottom of the muffin liner, as previously said.
Place the muffin tin with the Oreo crumb mixture in the preheated oven to 350 F/ 180 C and bake for 5 minutes.
Filling
The filling is very creamy and crunchy with pieces of Oreo crumbs. In a large bowl of an electric stand mixer, whip the cream cheese until smooth and add in sugar and eggs, one at a time. Mix well until the eggs are well incorporated and the texture of the cream cheese is smooth. Add vanilla extract and the additional crumbs, mix to combine.
Now your ice cream scooper will come handy. Scoop the filling in the lined cupcake pans with a help of ice cream scoop and bake the cheesecake cupcakes for 20 minutes in the preheated oven to 350 F/180 C.
Remove the muffin tin carefully from the oven and let cool down the cupcakes on the stove top or place it on a wooden board. Once cooled to room temperature (it will take about 30 minutes) then cover the muffin in with food foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, before decorating with the whipped cream.
Whipping cream
In another large bowl of electric stand mixer, start whipping the heavy/whipping cream on slow speed at first. Then increase the speed to medium. Once the whipping cream starts to thicken, add confectionery/ icing sugar and continue mixing until stiff peaks. This will happen very quickly, do not over whip the whipping cream.
Place the whipped cream into a piping bag with Wilton tip no.1 and pipe nice double swirls onto the cupcake. Cut in half 6 Oreo cookies to decorate the cupcakes. Enjoy with a cup of milk.

This looks delicious and simple! One question, your photo shows bits of oreo cookie crumbs in the cheesecake but the directions are not saying to fold any in. Was this step missed or just something you did when you made them?
Julia
Hi Lisa, thank you so much for pointing this missing ingredient. Yes, of course more Oreo cookies or crumbs, the merrier :)…. must go in the filling as well. I have updated the recipe. Let me know how did you like them, happy baking! Julia.
