Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300 F. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners and place 1 whole Oreo cookie in the bottom of each cup.

Beat together cream cheese and powdered sugar until it’s smooth.

Add eggs whites one at a time and mix until combined but use medium speed and do not over mix it.

Add pinch of salt and mix.

Fold in coarsely chopped Oreo cookies

Fill each cup over the Oreo cookie , almost to the top

Bake for about 25 minutes (until the centers appear set and the toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean).

To make chocolate ganache, melt the chocolate and stir in the heavy cream until combine evenly.

With a spoon spread the ganache over the cooled cupcakes and let them cool completely at room temperature before store them in the fridge.
