  • Food processor, optional
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric stand or hand mixer
  • Piping bags
  • Piping nozzles

Ingredients
  

Ingredients for the Oreo Crumb

  • 1 packet Oreo cookies 14 cookies, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter melted

Ingredients for the Cupcakes

  • 3 pounds of Philadelphia cream cheese softened at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated white sugar
  • 6 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 4 Oreo cookies finely crushed

Ingredients for the Whipped Cream Frosting

  • 2 cups whipping cream room temperature
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar sifted
  • 1 packet 3 ounces Kraft Vanilla Pudding Mix
  • 1/2 cup Oreo cookies only remove filling, crushed

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Place the oven rack in the middle and make sure both heating elements are on.
  • Then, line a cupcake or muffin pan with 12 cupcake liners. Set the pan aside until it's needed.
  • Using a food processor will make this step a lot less messy. Place all of the Oreo cookies inside and blend until you have a uniform fine crumb. Then, add the butter and mix until it is evenly distributed.
  • If you are crushing the cookies by hand, just ensure that they are fine enough to make a crumb from.
  • Divide the crumb between the 12 cupcake liners. Make sure to press the crumb into the bottom. Then, bake it for about 8 minutes in your preheated oven. Once baked, remove and allow them to cool at room temperature.
  • First, combine the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl. Cream the ingredients until they become light and fluffy. Make sure that there are no lumps!
  • Then, while the mixer is running at a low speed, egg the eggs. Beat well between every addition. Finally, mix in the vanilla essence and crushed Oreo cookies.
  • Divide the cheesecake batter between the 12 cupcake holes and smooth out the tops. Then, bake them in your preheated oven for between 20-25 minutes.
  • Once cooled, switch off the oven, open the door completely, and allow the cupcakes to cool inside. Once fully cooled, place them in the fridge to set for at least 2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, whip the cream at high speed until they reach soft peaks. Then slowly add the sifted powdered sugar. Continue whipping the mixture at a high speed until it almost reached medium peaks.
  • Then, reduce the speed of the mixer and add the instant pudding. Scrape down the sides to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Finally, fold in the chopped Oreo crumbs. Place the filling in a piping bag and once the cupcakes have set, pipe some frosting onto each.
  • Serve immediately or keep inside the fridge for a day or two.

Notes

Tips and Tricks for this Cheesecake Recipe

If you want to save some time, instead of making an Oreo crumb, you can keep the cookies whole and place one at the bottom of each cupcake liner. You don't have to pre-bake them at all.
When making the Kraft Oreo cheesecake cupcakes batter, make sure that it is completely lump-free. Lumps will cause cracks in the cheesecake cupcakes. It will also give them an unappealing texture.
If your cream cheese and sugar mixture still has lumps after being creamed, gently heat it in the microwave in 10-second intervals. Between each interval, beat the mixture slightly. This will allow you to see exactly when the lumps are gone and prevent you from melting the cheese.
