FAQS

  1. Can I use regular cream instead of heavy cream?

    Heavy cream is recommended for its richness and ability to hold its shape when whipped, but you can use regular cream if needed.

  2. Can I substitute white chocolate with dark chocolate?

    White chocolate is preferred for its mild sweetness and smooth texture, but dark chocolate can be used for a different flavor profile.

  3. How do I store the cupcakes?

    Store the cupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

  4. Can I make these cupcakes gluten-free?

    You can substitute the flour with a gluten-free flour blend and ensure the Oreo cookies used are gluten-free.

  5. What is the best way to crush Oreo cookies?

    Place the cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin or use a food processor for finer crumbs.
