Oreo Cookies and Cream Fondant Cupcakes
Oreo Cookies and Cream Fondant Cupcakes are a delicious and indulgent dessert that will satisfy any sweet tooth. These cupcakes are made with a rich and moist chocolate cake base, filled with a creamy Oreo cookies and cream filling, and topped with a smooth and decadent fondant icing.
To make these cupcakes, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
For the chocolate cake base:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
For the Oreo cookies and cream filling:
- 4 Oreo cookies, crushed
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
For the fondant icing:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips, melted
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until well combined. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until smooth. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cupcake liner about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely before filling and icing.
To make the Oreo cookies and cream filling, mix together the crushed Oreo cookies, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the Oreo mixture until smooth and creamy.
Using a small knife or cupcake corer, cut a small hole in the center of each cupcake. Fill each hole with a spoonful of the Oreo cookies and cream filling.
To make the fondant icing, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually mix in the melted white chocolate chips until the icing is smooth and well combined.
Using a small offset spatula or butter knife, spread a thin layer of the fondant icing over the top of each cupcake, covering the Oreo filling. Let the icing set for a few minutes before serving.
These Oreo Cookies and Cream Fondant Cupcakes are a perfect combination of rich chocolate cake, creamy Oreo filling, and smooth fondant icing. They are sure to impress any dessert lover and make a great addition to any special occasion or celebration.
