I have made these three times now and they are a big hit! I’m now thinking of changing it up a bit for variety, like chocolate cake with raspberry pudding and crunched chocolate cookies, white cake with banana creme with vanilla cookies and chocolat cake with white chocolate pudding and chocolate cookies, the possibilities are endless. Thank you so much for this amazing recipe.

In reply to Karrie C.. Hi Karrie, so glad you enjoyed! Great idea about piping the cheesecake filling into the cupcake!

I made these for a baby shower this weekend and they were a hit. I would give the cream cheese frosting 5 stars. It’s hard to find a cream cheese frosting that can be piped nicely and also tastes great. I will say, though, that if you want to pipe them tall like in the picture, you probably want to make a double batch.
In the first batch I dropped the cream cheese filling on top of the batter as described, and that was fine. But for my second batch I put it in a piping bag and squeezed it into the batter more, and I thought that worked better. It got the filling IN the cupcake more and prevented a little it of spreading.
The only thing I think I’ll change next time is maybe just to doctor the cake mix a little (flour, sugar, sour cream, egg, etc.) so it doesn’t taste quite so boxed cake mix-y.
Overall, great recipe! Thanks!

Made theses cupcakes tonight and reading your recipe it calls for 1 tablespoon of cream cheese mixture on top before baking, I did not watch your video until I saw the cupcakes spreading all over the pan. In the video you said one teaspoon. So happy accident I cut around the edges and rolled them in the graham cracker crumbs and they looked good. I was close to starting over until I tried the cupcake and it was pretty tasty! After I frost it tomorrow and add the crumbs on top along with the raspberry sauce I think they will look adorable. These were one of three cupcakes I was making for a wedding reception/open house. I will post a pic after they are all assembled.

In reply to Dawn. Yes, you could use a white cake mix, but based on the filling, this wouldn't work as a cake.

I was wondering if you had to use a yellow cake mix? Could you use white? Also, can you make a cake with this recipe instead of cupcakes? Thanks.

In reply to Cindy. Cindy, no real reason actually! Feel free to use the regular one as long as it's instant!

Hi Hayley! Why the fat free/sugar free pudding mix?? I’d prefer to use the regular one.

In reply to Jocelyn. Without the filling, yes, you could make this into cake form!

In reply to Jocelyn. There's filling in these cupcakes actually!
