👩‍🍳 Directions (Form-Steps Style)

🔹 PART 1 — MAKE THE CRUST

Step 1 — Prepare the Oreos

Option A — Food Processor

• Add Oreos (cream included).
• Pulse until finely crushed.

Option B — No Processor

• Place Oreos in a zip bag.
• Crush using a rolling pin until crumbs form.

Step 2 — Combine with Butter

• Pour melted butter over the Oreo crumbs.
• Mix until crumbs resemble wet sand.

This creates a rich, crunchy chocolate crust.

Step 3 — Press the Crust

• Transfer mixture to your dish or cups.
• Press firmly to create an even base.

🔹 PART 2 — MAKE THE CHOCOLATE FILLING

Step 4 — Heat the Heavy Cream

Option A — Microwave

• Microwave cream until hot but NOT boiling.

Option B — Stovetop

• Warm cream in a small pot over medium-low.

Hot cream will melt the chocolate without scorching it.

Step 5 — Melt the Chocolate

• Place semi-sweet chocolate in a bowl.
• Pour hot cream over chocolate.
• Let sit 2–3 minutes.
• Whisk gently until smooth and glossy.

This creates a silky chocolate ganache.

• Slight cooling helps it thicken before pouring.

🔹 PART 3 — ASSEMBLE THE DESSERT

Step 7 — Pour Filling Over Crust

• Pour the chocolate ganache onto the chilled Oreo base.
• Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8 — Chill Until Set

• Refrigerate 2–3 hours until firm and sliceable.

• Serve chilled for best texture.
