Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and line the cupcake/muffin pan with the cupcake liners
  • Once you have removed the center creme of the oreo cookies, place the cookies into either a blender, food processor, or ziplock bag. Grind the cookies up to sand like texture
  • Mix in the sugar and butter until the mixture feels like wet sand
  • Spoon 1 tablespoon on the crust into the cupcake liners and using a flat bottom, press the crust down to create an even layer. Set aside
  • Preheat the oven to 350
  • Using a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until combined and smooth
  • Beat in the sour cream, marshmallow vodka, and vanilla until combined and smooth
  • One egg at a time, beat until combined
  • Divide the batter into three bowls
  • In one bowl, mix in a few drops of orange gel food coloring
  • In a second bowl mix in a few drops of yellow gel food coloring
  • Leave the third bowl color free
  • Using a tablespoon and half tablespoon, starting with the yellow cheesecake batter, spoon 1 and ½ tablespoon of yellow cheesecake batter into the crust
  • Spoon 1 ½ orange batter onto the yellow batter and using a flat mini spatula, try to spread the orange layer evenly over the yellow Using the color-free batter, spoon 1 ½ tbsp of batter onto the orange batter and gently spread to try to cover the entire orange layer
  • Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cupcakes are set. It’s okay if there is a slight jiggle in the center!
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temp on the counter before moving to the fridge overnight
  • Top with fresh homemade whipped cream and a mellow creme pumpkin candy
  • Enjoy
