oreo cookies & cream cupcakes.


Few days ago, I summed up all my OREO DESSERTS I've made to date and collaged them in one pic! 

Tadaaaaaa............!!!

I've posted it on my Facebook Page and soooo many people were loving it! Ooooops. Seems like we're all Oreo Lovers! There are sooo many variations of Oreo desserts we're able to create with our own creativity and imagination. They're also one of the best reasons ever to hang out by the dessert table.

And today (TGIF again!), to celebrate the upcoming weekend...  I made a NEW Oreo dessert you'll absolutely love. Hmm... the scrumptious Oreo Cookies & Cream Cupcakes!

Who can say no to Oreo???

The batter of this cupcake is basically a classic dark chocolate cupcake which is so moist and chocolatey! I decided to top them with Cookies and Cream Frosting - the slightly crunchy crushed Oreo cookie was combined into the frosting, then topped them once again with a whole Oreo! Can you imagine how it taste? :)

look at those frosting....

Some people might go with a classic vanilla cupcake instead, but in my opinion Oreo goes along with chocolate for its best flavour!. It's just like... we doubled the chocolate! Really divine. These are also effortlessly easy to make, just less than half an hour to be baked... and to be honest Oreo desserts always look sooo tempting in my eyes, whatever it is. You will want to bake them again and again. 


Let's go making this guys! And let me know how it goes. This would be an easy yet delightful treat for the weekend. Especially when the weather feels like 'Summer' already - which only desserts could help! :p Here's the recipe to follow!


Making ca. 6 large cupcakes or 12-14 normal cupcakes.

For the dark chocolate cupcakes:

Ingredients:

175 grams all purpose flour
50 grams Dutch-processed cocoa powder
240 ml boiling hot water
113 grams unsalted butter, room temperature
200 grams granulated white sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:

1). Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly butter, or line 12-14 baking cups with paper liners.
2). In a small bowl, stir the boiling water and cocoa powder until smooth. Let them cool to room temperature.
3). In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
3). In a medium-sized bowl, with a hand mixer, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in the vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture and beat only until incorporated. Then add the cooled cocoa mixture and stir until smooth.
4). Fill each baking cup about two-thirds full with batter and bake for about 16-20 minutes, and a toothpick inserted into a cupcake comes out clean. (Do not over bake or the texture of the cupcakes will be dry).
5). Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool.

For the Oreo cookies & cream frosting:

(this recipe makes enough to frost ca. 12-14 normal cupcakes).

Ingredients:

200 grams unsalted butter, room temperature
425 grams icing or powdered sugar
6 classic Oreos, crushed (by hands or with a food processor)
3-4 tablespoons milk, room temperature

For topping:

12 classic Oreos, or anything else you love. Optional!

Directions:

1). In a large bowl, with a hand mixer, beat the butter until smooth. Gradually beat in the icing sugar until it is all incorporated.
2). Add the finely crushed Oreos and continue to beat for 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
3). Add milk slowly until it reached desired consistency. (I found it best with 4 tablespoons of milk!).
4). Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes and top them with a whole Oreo or anything else you fancy.
5). Done and serve!.

Enjoy and let's cupcake-ing! Hope you guys like it as much as I do!

Oreo Heaven!
