Prep Time 1 hour
Cook Time 18 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 18 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 package Oreo cookies, divided
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 vanilla cake mix (15.25 oz.)
  • 1 container canned chocolate frosting
  • 1 cup shortening
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon table salt
  • 4 Tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 8 cups powdered sugar (32 oz. bag)
  • sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Crush 24 Oreo cookies into crumbs. Beat in the softened cream cheese. Roll into at least 24 balls that are 1 1/2 inch big. Freeze for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°. Place 24 cupcake liners in muffin tins.
  3. Place 1/2 an Oreo cookie into the bottom of 24 cupcake liners. You can use either side of the cookie for this. I leave the frosting on the cookies too.
  4. Mix up the cake mix according to the package directions.
  5. Fill the liners one third full of batter. Drop a frozen Oreo truffle into each cupcake liner. Top with enough batter to cover the truffle. Do not fill more than 3/4 full.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes. Let cool completely.
  7. Beat together the butter, shortening, salt, whipping cream, and vanilla until creamy.
  8. Slowly add the powdered sugar until it is all incorporated. Beat for 1-2 minutes longer.
  9. Frost the tops of the cooled cupcakes with a decorating bag and Wilton decorating tip. Place the frosted cupcakes in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
  10. Remove the foil liner from the canned frosting. Place in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir and repeat until the frosting is runny.
  11. Remove cupcakes from freezer and dip the top of the butter cream into the heated frosting. Carefully let the excess drip off, then top with sprinkles and let set. Keep refrigerated.

Notes

You may have extra Oreo truffles depending on how big you roll the balls. Dip any extras in chocolate and enjoy.
