Preparation

  2. Combine crushed Oreo cookies with melted unsalted butter in a bowl, then press the mixture into the cupcake liners to form crusts. Bake for 5 minutes and let cool.
Cheesecake Filling

  2. Divide the batter into three bowls, tinting one with yellow food coloring, one with orange, and leaving one white.
Assemble and Bake
  1. Layer the filling by adding a tablespoon of yellow batter, then orange, then white into each crust. Fill nearly to the top.
  2. Bake for 15 minutes, then turn off the oven, leaving them inside for an additional 10 minutes.
  3. Cool in the oven for 15-20 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Whipped Cream Topping
  1. Whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  2. Tint the whipped cream orange with gel food coloring.
