These cupcakes are always a hit. The hidden Oreo® cookie is a wonderful surprise that keep everyone guessing on how you did that!
How To Make Oreo Surprise Cupcakes
I am using a half recipe of my The Best Secret Chocolate Cake Recipe for the cupcake batter. Preheat the oven to 350ºF/177ºC. A red handled disher (ice cream scoop) (#24 or 1-1/3 ounce) to measure out my batter, Place some of your cupcake batter in the liner, add an Oreo® cookie and top with the remaining cupcake batter.
Fill all you cupcake liners up. Bake in a preheated 350ºF/177ºC oven for 18-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
When done allow the cupcakes to cool completely. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip with flavored whipped cream. Pipe a large rosette on top of each cupcake.
Heat the ganache up so it is pourable, you do not want it hot. Fill a paper cone, snip the end of the cone off and drizzle ganache over the cupcakes. Garnish with a half an Oreo® cookie. Enjoy. These cupcakes must be kept refrigerated due to the perishable whipped cream.
