These Lemon Creme Oreo Cheesecake Cupcakes are a bright, summery twist on a treat you’ve probably seen before. OK, I know I said I was going to ease into the new recipes, but HELLO, have you seen the fun new flavors of Oreos that are out for the summer?! I had to get my hands on some.
So somebody tell me, why in the world would they ever stop making Jell-O Pudding Pops? I mean, weren’t they like the best summer treat ever?! Don’t tell me that they weren’t flying out of the freezers. I mean pudding… on a stick… Bill Cosby? Come on. And another one – Magic Middles cookies. Chocolate chip cookies filled with creamy chocolate frosting – hello?! Pure genius! I used to eat off the edges, pull them apart, then lick out the frosting.
Well my mom, she used to love a now-discontinued Girl Scout Cookie – Lemon Pastry Cremes. So when Carrie posted a photo of these new Lemon Twist Oreos on Instagram, I knew I had to buy them for my mom. To be honest, they aren’t exactly the same – a little crunchier than Lemon Pastry Cremes – but they are quite tasty. And as soon as I saw them, I thought of making a summery version of those Oreo Cheesecake Cupcakes that you have probably seen floating around on Pinterest or something.
I decided to top them with some Lucky Leaf Blueberry Pie Filling, because I just love the classic combination of lemon and blueberry. And I was too lazy busy to make a fresh blueberry compote. But feel free to leave ’em plain, use a different fruit, or even just sprinkle on some fresh berries.
Did I make you all nostalgic and sad? Are you now missing your favorite childhood treat? I’m sorry. Here, have a Lemon Creme Oreo Cheesecake Cupcake…
Or three…
You’ll feel better.

This is kind of a silly question, but did anyone else’s curdle because of the cream cheese and the milk? Does anyone know what I’m doing wrong? I would love to make them again, I just need a little help!
I haven’t heard of that issue. Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature and whip it thoroughly. I’m not sure that it is curdled – it might be that the cream cheese didn’t break up and smooth out completely.
Oh how I wish that Oreo variety’s available in The Philippines. 🙁 All I see are the chocolate and strawberry only. 🙁 It looks very easy and delicious tho! 🙂
I bet this would be yummy with the strawberry kind!!
Hi 🙂 I’d love for you to come by and share this delicious recipe at my Saturday Spotlight Link Party, my readers would love it. Hope to see you there!

Thanks for stopping by!
Oh. my. goodness. All I’ve seen so far for the summer flavors is watermelon… which were delicious and the pack was gone before the week was out. Now I’m going to have to watch out for the lemon ones. And probably get 2 packs so I can eat one and make these with the other lol!
I’ve been afraid to try the watermelon, but the lemon are great.
What a fun idea!! I love the combo of flavors 🙂
Thanks Aimee! I do love lemon and blueberry together.
I NEED to get my hands on those lemon twist Oreos! They look FANTASTIC, and so do these cheesecake cupcakes! Lemon and cheesecake is just plain awesome.
You have to find them! They are so good, and I bet you would come up with some awesome ways to use them!
These look so good! Such a good idea, I love the lemon creme cheesecake in the summer. Pinned! 🙂
Thanks for the pin! Some cheesecake can be heavy, so the lemon flavor does make it more refreshing and summery.
Oh wowza! That looks so good!
Haha, thanks!!
Dear Brianne, I found your site through Whimsy Wednesday. These look like a fun little treat to have in the summer…and when its this hot out, the easier the better. I haven’t seen the new oreo flavors out…lemon twist sounds good! Blessings, Catherine
Thanks for stopping by! Yes, they are a nice, bright, summery flavor!
These look so adorable and yummy, Brianne! I love the lemon and blueberry together, perfect for summer. I think I’ve seen lemon Oreos on the shelves here (but I may be mistaken since we don’t get nearly all the fabulous foods that are sold in the US). If not, I could probably use the golden oreos and make lemon cheesecake for the same flavour profile. This is a fabulous recipe for your first food post back!
Oh yes, I think Golden Oreos would work, and you can still get the lemon from the cheesecake. And nothing like lemon and blueberry!
Brianne, I miss pudding pops, too. These cupcakes look amazing. I really really want one.
I haven’t tried making pudding pops, but I just feel like it wouldn’t be the same.
I just love how simple and delightful this recipe is! A very cute and easy potluck dessert that I’m definitely going to have to give a go at making. 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing! (And I’ve yet to try the lemon creme oreos, but they sound yummy!)
Thanks! It does com together easily, and you could double it for a bigger party!
I totally have a pack of those Oreos in my pantry. How fun are these cupcakes! I’ll have to try them out
Oh yay! Enjoy!
I wish I could get all of these new flavours in the UK. This looks awesome! 😀
They are so fun! That is such a shame. Oreo better get them across the pond!
