Oreo Condensed Milk Dessert

Table of Contents

- 400 g heavy cream (or whipping cream)
- 390 g sweetened condensed milk
- 36 OREO cookies (more for garnish if desired)

1. Prepare the OREO Cookie Base:

- Start by taking 24 of the 36 OREO cookies and placing them in a food processor. Crush the cookies until they form fine crumbs. Alternatively, you can place the cookies in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

- In a bowl, mix the cookie crumbs with the melted butter until well combined. The crumbs should be moist and stick together when pressed.
- Take an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) pan or dish and press the OREO crumb mixture into the bottom to form a firm base. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to smooth it out evenly.
- Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the cream layer.

2. Make the Cream Layer:

- In a large mixing bowl, pour in the heavy cream and beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. This may take around 3-5 minutes depending on the speed of your mixer.
- Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk to the whipped cream, continuing to beat until everything is well combined and smooth. The mixture should be thick and creamy.

3. Assemble the Dessert:

- Remove the prepared OREO base from the refrigerator.
- Roughly chop the remaining 12 OREO cookies and fold them into the cream mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.

Spread the cream and OREO mixture over the chilled base, using a spatula to smooth out the top.

4. Chill and Set:

- Once the dessert is fully assembled, cover it with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to set for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the dessert to firm up.

5. Garnish and Serve:

- Before serving, feel free to garnish with additional crushed OREO cookies for extra texture and presentation. You can also drizzle some melted chocolate or top it with whipped cream for an added layer of decadence.
- Cut into squares or scoop into individual bowls to serve.

Enjoy your delicious, creamy OREO condensed milk dessert!

Cooking Tips:

- Crushing OREO Cookies: If you don’t have a food processor, don’t worry! Simply place the cookies in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin or heavy object until they form crumbs.

- Butter Substitution: If you prefer a slightly lighter version, you can reduce the amount of butter in the base, or replace it with melted coconut oil for a subtle coconut flavor.
- Adding Flavors: For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or even a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the cream mixture. You can also sprinkle chopped nuts or chocolate chips between the layers for added texture.
- Chilling Time: It’s crucial to allow the dessert enough time to chill in the refrigerator so it can set properly. Chilling for at least 4 hours is recommended, but overnight chilling will yield the best results.
