These Mint Oreo Cheesecake Cupcakes are an over-the-top filled cupcake perfect for a party! You’ll like the cream cheese filling on the interior.

Mint Oreo Cheesecake Cupcake starts with a Mint Oreo in the base of the cupcake, followed by some cupcake batter and topped with a heaping spoonful of mint chocolate cheesecake. I finished it off with an Oreo frosting.

The cheesecake is made with both a hint of mint extract and also some mint chocolate chips! It’s out of this world. I picked up a bag of Mint chocolate chips at Walmart, but I have also seen them at my local grocery store. They are sometimes green and sometimes not.

These delectable cupcakes are the ideal dessert for your next gathering. Not only do they have a cheesecake filling inside, they have a creamy, dreamy cookies-and-creme frosting and theyre topped with mint Oreos!

I had a box of Mint Oreos in my pantry, and a craving for cheesecake. Since I was already making so many chocolate cupcakes, it just seemed only natural to make a mint cheesecake cupcake. This recipe is a twist on my boyfriends favorite cupcake. Do you all remember when I let him take over the baking one day? He made his mothers Chocolate Cream Cheese Cupcake. You should check it out, he has some rules for baking that I find to be pretty comical.

In order to make this recipe, you will need at least a package and a half of the Mint Oreos to use between the cupcake, the frosting and an extra Oreo for good measure of time. Triple mint? Yep. Three Oreos? Yep. This recipe is a triple win. Okay, that was a bad joke but whatever!
