Raise your hand if you love cheesecake!  I know, who doesn’t love cheesecake right?  My fellow cheesecake fans you are going to love these mint cheesecake cupcakes, they are amazing! This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of United Supermarkets.

I went to my local United Supermarkets for their Stock Up Sale the other day, which I highly recommend checking out and purchased all sorts of good stuff.  OREO’S being one of them, rather than having a package of OREO’S sitting around the house I decided to use them to make these mint cheesecake cupcakes for my daughter’s dance team.  I promised them cheesecake about a month ago, so I figured it was time to fulfill my obligation, lol.

Mint Cheesecake Cupcakes

To make this Mint Cheesecake Cupcakes you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 1 cupcake pan
• Cupcake liners
• 1 1/4 C finely crushed OREOS, (about half a package)
• 2 TBSP sugar
• 4 TBSP unsalted sweet cream butter, melted
• 2 packages cream cheese, softened (8 oz.)
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp pure mint extract

• 1 package of mint candies
• 1 bag of melting chocolate
• 1/2 Cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 Cup powder sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• piping bag with a star tip

To make these Andes Mint Cheesecakes follow the below directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• In a blender or food processor, grind up the Oreo to crumbs
• Scoop, 1 1/4 C of the Oreo crumbs into a large bowl
• Add in the 2 TBSP sugar and 4 TBSP of melted butter
• Mix until wet sand like texture
• Scoop, 4 TBSP of the crust mixture into the cupcake liners and lightly press down
• In a standing mixer, combine the cream cheese and sugar and mix on medium speed until combined.
• Mix in the egg, mint and food coloring and mix until combined and creamy.
• Scoop cheesecake batter into the cupcake liners and fill about 3/4 way.
• bake in the oven for about 30-40 minutes or until set.
• Place onto a wire rack to cool to room temperature.
• Place into the fridge to cool overnight.
• Using a double broiler, melt the chocolate until smooth.
• Spoon a little bit of chocolate onto the center of the cheesecakes.
• Let chocolate harden.
• Using a standing mixer, combine the heavy whipping cream, powder sugar, and vanilla and mix on medium speed until stiff peaks form.
• Scoop whipped cream into piping bag and pipe a dollop of whipped cream onto the center of the chocolate.
• Top with a mint candy.

I sure hope you enjoy these mint cheesecake cupcakes as much as my daughter’s dance team!  There wasn’t one left, lucky for me I tried one before I took them.

I’m planning on heading back to my local United Supermarkets this weekend to REALLY stock up my pantry!  I mean, you can’t go wrong the prices are amazing and with kids in the house, I’m always looking for ways to save money and keep my pantry stocked!
