    Oreo Stuffed Cupcakes with Cookies and Cream Frosting | Easy Dessert Recipe

    by Mindi Cherry

    easy dessert recipe

    These are so fun to make (especially with the kids) and if you use a boxed cake mix, can be such an easy dessert recipe.  Make these for a birthday party, a party at your kids school or even just a surprise treat for the kids when they get home from school!

    Now, of course, I could make the chocolate cupcake batter from scratch, but why do that?  I know that there are some people who might yell about GMOs and additives, but until I find a homemade cupcake recipe that turns out as light and fluffy as the ones that I get from the boxed mixes, I am comfortable sticking with the boxed mixes.  Of course - if anyone has a recipe for cupcake batter that turns out as good as the mixes - feel free to let me know.

    Where I won't compromise is with the icing/frosting.  The stuff that comes in a can literally makes me gag, but I grew up with homemade frosting for everything, so I may be a little spoiled.  If you don't mind the taste of canned frosting, you can make this even more of an easy dessert recipe by simply mixing crushed Oreos with a can of vanilla frosting.

    To make them, you will need:

    For the Cupcakes:

    • 1 Devils Food Cake + ingredients to make according to cupcake directions
    • 24 Oreo Cookies (or similar chocolate sandwich cookies)

    For the Icing:

    • 1/2 cup butter (I use salted and unsalted with no change in taste)
    • 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
    • 4 cups powdered sugar
    • 1 tsp vanilla
    • 3 - 6 Tbsp milk
    • 8 Oreo Cookies (or similar chocolate sandwich cookies), finely crushed
    • 24 mini Oreos (optional)

    Cook Time: 22 minutes
    Total Time: 37 minutes

    Ingredients 

    For the Cupcakes:

    • 1 Devils Food Cake + ingredients to make according to cupcake directions
    • 24 Oreo Cookies or similar chocolate sandwich cookies

    For the Icing:

    • 1/2 cup butter I use salted and unsalted with no change in taste
    • 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
    • 4 cups powdered sugar
    • 1 tsp vanilla
    • 3 - 6 Tbsp milk
    • 8 Oreo Cookies or similar chocolate sandwich cookies, finely crushed
    • 24 mini Oreos optional

    Instructions

    For the cupcakes

    • Preheat oven to 350. Line cupcake pan with cupcake liners
    • Prepare cake mix according to the directions on the box
    • Place just enough batter in each well of the cupcake pan to cover the bottom of the liner.
    • Top/center an Oreo on top of the batter. Cover the Oreo with more batter until cupcake wells are 3/4 full.
    • Bake according to directions on the package (typically about 22 minutes)
    • Remove from oven and cool completely.

    To make the icing:

    • In a mixer with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and shortening until blended.
    • Add vanilla and beat until blended
    • Add powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time and scraping the sides of the bowl as needed until all ingredients are incorporated.
    • Add milk, 1 Tbsp at a time until frosting is the right consistency.
    • Beat frosting on high for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
    • Add crushed Oreos and beat for another 30 seconds
    • Add a little more milk if the frosting seems to stiff.
    • Frost the cupcakes with the icing (or you can use a basic piping bag and tip). Stick a mini Oreo in the icing for decoration
