Ingredients
Cupcakes
- 1 (15oz.) box chocolate cake mix
- 1 (3.4oz.) box instant chocolate fudge pudding mix dry
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup whole milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 24 Oreos
Frosting:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ⅓ cup instant chocolate fudge pudding mix dry
- 2 cups crushed Oreos
- 24 Oreos for topping
- 2 Cookies & Cream Chocolate bars divided for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a cupcake pan with liners and set aside.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, mix together all ingredients for the cupcake batter.
- Place one Oreo in each cupcake liner.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop 1½ scoops of batter on top of each Oreo each liner. About 3 tablespoons.
- Bake the cupcakes for 20 to 22 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
- Remove the cupcakes from the pan and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While cupcakes are cooling, beat together the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and pudding mix in a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment.
- Place frosting in a piping bag and pipe a large mound onto the cupcakes.
- Roll the tops of the frosted cupcakes in the crushed Oreos so they stick to the frosting then top with an Oreo and a piece of cookies ‘n cream chocolate bar.
Notes
- Vanilla or chocolate frosting can be made depending on personal preference, just swap out chocolate for vanilla pudding mix or vice versa.
- Because this is a whipped cream-based frosting, the cupcakes should be refrigerated within 2 hours of frosting.
- It’s best to top with the Oreos just before serving so they don’t get too soggy.
- Store in the fridge for up to 2 days but know that the Oreos will get soft.
- A classic chocolate cake batter can also be used in this recipe if you have a favorite homemade kind.
- Do not add any extract ingredients called for on the back of the cake mix box, just the ones listed here in the ingredients.
