Description

These cupcakes are so good. They actually don’t need a frosting, they are that good. The frosting adds another layer of yummy to them. Try carving out a hole in the top, inserting a cordial cup and putting milk inside. Frost around the hole and put a few mini oreos in the frosting to be dunked in the milk.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CUPCAKES:
  • 3 whole Large Eggs, Separated
  • ¾ cups Butter, Softened
  • 2-¼ cups Brown Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla
  • 8 ounces, weight Dark Chocolate, Melted
  • 2 cups Flour, All Purpose
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1-¾ cup Milk
  • 8 whole Oreo Cookies, Smashed
  • _____
  • FOR THE FROSTING:
  • 8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, Softened
  • ¼ cups Butter, Softened
  • 4 cups Powdered Sugar (3-4 C, Use More Or Less Depending On How Stiff You Want The Frosting)
  • ½ teaspoons Vanilla
  • ¾ cups Crushed Oreo (8 Oreos)
  • Mini Oreos, Optional Garnish

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare 18 standard size muffin tin holes by inserting papers.

In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until peaks form, set aside.

In a separate bowl, beat the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg yolks. Mix in the vanilla and chocolate.

In another separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda and baking powder. Alternate adding the flour mixture and the milk to the butter mixture. Stir in the Oreos. Fold the batter into the egg whites. Fill prepared cupcake liners almost to the top, you want the cupcakes to be tall. Place the cupcake tray on a cookie sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

For the frosting:
Whip the cream cheese and the butter until light and fluffy. Mix in the sugar, one cup at a time. Add the vanilla and mix again. Stir in the Oreos.

Frost the cupcakes once they have cooled. If you pipe the frosting, make sure the Oreo pieces in the frosting are fine. If you don’t pipe you can make the Oreo pieces chunky. Garnish with mini Oreos.

Enjoy!
