Chocolate Cupcakes Filled with Oreo Buttercream
They look much more professional than my photo...I even used a pastry bag to fill them. Once I made the chocolate cupcakes (From the box...I cheated), I cored them to fill with the oreo filling.
Buttercream included:
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2-3 tbsp. heavy cream
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups crumbled Oreos
Using an electric mixer, mix the butter and add 1 cup of powder at a time. Once all mixed, add in heavy cream and vanilla extract. Hand mix in the oreo crumbs.
You can probably just frost them (and it would be easier because the oreos get stuck in the pastry bag tip alot) but I wanted them to look pretty. Garnish with a half an oreo.
