Oreo cheese cupcakes

Cuspcake rating: 4.5

My second recipe from Martha's cupcake book, the batch of banana cupcakes I made put me off (through no fault of hers, my sour cream was off and they gave me a stomachache, thankfully I'm in the habit of taste-testing my cuppies before I give anyone else food poisoning. Note to self: Sour cream doesn't smell sour), so it's been a while since I felt my appetite stir while reading her book.

These are also a request, someone in the office suggested cheesecake, and since my last attempt (whole Oreo cheesecake, baked too long at inaccurate temp) didn't work out so well, I thought why not.

They were easy to put together, just a matter of lining the cups with whole Oreos (a cute and easy touch), mixing all the rest of the ingredients then baking at low temp and fridging overnight.

Enjoyed these alot, although not sure why mine are so much yellower than the photos in the book, and than the average oreo cheesecake you see outside – perhaps my cheese or eggs? I personally ate more of these than any other cuppie I've made yet, or maybe I had as many melt-in-the-mouth choc ones.

Tasters were much amused by the whole cookie as the base. These tasted best the first two days, then got progressively denser and harder, though no less tasty.
