Mint Oreo Cheesecake Cupcakes are one of the best St Patrick recipes to make for parties and potlucks alike

After the success of our Oreo Cheesecake Cupcakes, we decided to make a St Patrick’s Day version. These treats are ideal for anyone who’s a mint lover or whose favorite color is green! Plus, this recipe is fun to make with kids too.

We used mint creme oreos and added non-alcoholic creme de menthe syrup to flavor the cheesecake. If you can’t find mint oreos, Annie’s and Newman’s Own also make a similar product. Failing all that, regular oreos will work just fine too.

HOW TO MAKE MINT OREO CHEESECAKE CUPCAKES

To make them, you’ll need to start by lining a 12-cup muffin tin with white paper cupcakes cups. Then you can place a cookie into each cup.

After that make the cheesecake filling in a mixing bowl using a hand mixer. You’ll need:

  • Cream cheese
  • Sugar
  • Eggs
  • Creme de menthe syrup: I recommend Torani which is available online

Once it’s ready, spoon the mixture on top of the cookies to about 3/4 full. Now you’re ready to bake at 350°F (177°C) for about 20 minutes.

These Mini Mint Cheesecake Cupcakes garnished with whipped cream and chocolate shavings for an easy dessert you can make for St Patricks Day, birthday parties and more.

And that’s it. You bake for them for 20 minutes and then let them cool before garnishing with optional whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
