Simple Chilled Chocolate Oreo Cheesecake Cupcakes

Sometime when you're feeling a little lazy and you just don't feel like going through the trouble of sticking a cake in to the oven to bake, then these little cupcakes are a great treat...!

Previous Oreo Cheesecake Cupcakes

I made the previous ones about 2 years back, only at that time i crushed the Oreo cookies for the base and topped them with pieces of dark chocolate...

So it was my sister's birthday and i decided to make these simple cupcakes, since she liked them so much the last time i did them... I always use Oreo cookies as the base because it seems to be, not only easier, but most people seem to like Oreo cookies more...

This time i left the Oreo cookies whole for the base... This recipe makes exactly 12 cupcakes...
I used regular Oreo cookies for half the batch and chocolate ones for the rest... I attached the full recipe below...

Use hard muffin cups instead of the paper ones

Firstly, i place the Oreo cookies at the base of each cup...

6 regular Oreos and 6 chocolate ones

After preparing the chocolate cheese batter, i used an ice cream scooper to spoon the mixture evenly into each cup... and i left it to chill overnight, though up to 2 hours is good enough..

I wanted to use whipped cream on top, but then it didn't work out and i had to improvise a little... I decorated my sister's cupcakes with mini Oreos and mini chocolate chip cookies (6 with mini Oreos and the other 6 with the mini chocolate chip cookies).. ^_^ Then scattered crushed Oreo cookies around the top... Sorry they may not look so nice.. :-"

This simple treat makes not only a great gift, since all cupcakes look really pretty in boxes..^_^, but also just as a party dessert..
