Okay, so this recipe is similar to the Oreo Cadbury Mini Eggs Easter Squares, but lightened up and made into cheesecake cupcakes.
I made these for my Uncles birthday. He likes dominos....hence the theme for these cupcakes. |
The Oreo Cadbury Mini Eggs Easter Squares (which are actually just cheesecake bars) were such a hit at Easter that I decided to use that recipe - but lighten it up a little (because there were copious amounts of icing involved this time around). Instead of heavy cream I used fat free evaporated milk. Instead of full fat cream cheese, I used the one that was reduced fat by 25%. And I didn't put any crushed Cadbury Mini Eggs in the Oreo crust like I did last time. Even with these modifications, they still came out great...
(Another reason for making these is that I still had Cadbury Mini Eggs leftover from Easter - which makes going sugar free REALLY hard....So I figured this was a good way to use them up so I could avoid the temptation altogether...)
I cheated and bought Wilton's black icing to make the dominos (because if there is one thing I learned in my cake decorating class - it's that making black icing is just too involved...).
