Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line a 12-count muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder and sugar. Make 3 wells in the dry ingredients: 1 small, 1 medium, and 1 large. Measure the vanilla into the small well, the vinegar into the medium, and the oil into the large. Pour the cold water over top and whisk until the batter is smooth.
3
Add the softened cream cheese and egg yolk to a small bowl and whip using a handheld electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Fold in the chocolate mint pieces.
4
Fill each cupcake liner half full with the chocolate batter, then drop 1-2 teaspoons of cheesecake filling in the middle of each, finally cover with about 1 tablespoon of the remaining chocolate batter. They should be filled all the way to the top with batter and cheesecake filling.
5
Bake the cupcakes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minute or until a toothpick inserted into the cake part around the edges of the cupcake comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes and then remove from the muffin tin to finish cooling on a wire rack.
6
Refrigerate until ready to serve. These are great served with whipped cream on top. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Room Temperature Cream Cheese 🧈Soften cream cheese to room temperature before mixing to ensure a smooth, lump-free cheesecake filling that blends seamlessly with the Andes mints.
- Chop Mints Strategically 🍫Freeze Andes mints for 15 minutes before chopping into uneven chunks—larger pieces stay intact in the filling while smaller bits dissolve for flavor distribution.
- Acidic Balance for Moisture 🍋The white vinegar reacts with baking soda to create lift and moisture; don't skip it, as it's crucial for the soft, moist cupcake texture.
- Prevent Cheesecake Cracking ❄️Avoid overmixing the cheesecake filling after adding eggs and use room temperature ingredients to minimize air bubbles that cause cracking during baking.
- Strategic Filling Placement 🎯Fill cupcakes only halfway with batter, add a dollop of cheesecake mixture in the center, then top with remaining batter to keep the mint-chocolate chunks perfectly encased.
