Directions
-
Step 1
Pre-heat oven to 180°C. Line a cupcake tray with patty pans and set aside.
-
Step 2
Add flour, sugar and cocoa powder into a large mixing bowl. Mix to combine, and then set aside.
-
Step 3
In a separate bowl, add milk, oil and tofu and whisk to combine.
-
Step 4
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold to combine.
-
Step 5
Slowly pour boiling water into the mixture and whisk gently to combine.
-
Step 6
Pour batter into patty pans (only fill about half way as they will rise). Using a pouring jug makes this process a lot easier as the mixture is quite wet.
-
Step 7
Bake for 10–15 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Set aside to cool.
-
Step 8
Meanwhile, to prepare the icing, add dairy-free spread to a stand mixer with a paddle attachment and beat for 4–5 minutes or until pale and fluffy.
-
Step 9
Add icing sugar slowly and beat again until smooth. Then add cookies and cream essence.
-
Step 10
Remove bowl from mixer and gently fold through crushed Oreo crumbs.
-
Step 11
Spoon the frosting mixture into a piping bag with an ice cream nozzle. Pipe on cupcakes and decorate with a mini Oreo and a drizzle of dark chocolate.
