Fudge Swirled Oreo Bottom Cheesecake Cupcakes
Fudge Swirled Oreo Bottom Cheesecake Cupcakes are a delicious twist on your standard cupcake. It’s a fudge swirled mini cheesecake that sits on top of an Oreo cookie. What’s not to love?
These cupcakes are “scrumdiddlyumptious!” to quote one of my favorite childhood movies. You have cheesecake with a fudge chocolate swirl to please all the chocolate lovers, and it is sitting on top of an Oreo cookie, hello Oreo lovers! I’m both a chocolate lover and an Oreo lover, so of course I’m going to rave about this recipe!
As far as I can tell, Oreo Cheesecake Cupcakes originated with Martha Stewart’s Cupcake cookbook back in 2009. Since then so many bloggers have added it to their websites. I decided to give my own twist on it, and instead of cookies and cream, I’d add in a swirl of my amazing Homemade Hot Fudge Sauce. The results were spectacular!
I’ve used my Homemade Hot Fudge Sauce in this recipe because nothing store bought can compare to it. When you make it with good quality chocolate chips like Guittard (my favorite), then you’ve really got something special. You can certainly use store bought if you don’t feel like making your own, but seriously, give my recipe for homemade a try sometime because it’s out of this world delicious.
Nutella lover? This recipe also works with Nutella instead of hot fudge sauce! That’s right, you can swirl Nutella right in and combine it with cheesecake and Oreo goodness. That’s spectacular news for any Nutella lover like myself. In fact, this recipe was heavily inspired by my No Bake Nutella Cheesecake Bars.
I’ve used Double Stuff Oreos in this recipe. Not only do I have a strong preference for double stuff for regular eating, I also find that it gives a more pleasant base to this cupcake. I want that extra creamy goodness in my cookie base. The Oreo ends up just a tad moist which makes me feel like I’ve dipped my cookie in some milk….which is exactly the way I eat my Oreos.
