🛒 Ingredients

For the Oreo Crust

  • 20 Oreo cookies
  • 6 tablespoons Butter, melted

For the Chocolate Filling

  • 12 oz Semi-sweet chocolate
  • 12 oz Heavy cream

🧰 Equipment Needed

  • Food processor or rolling pin
  • Mixing bowls
  • Rubber spatula
  • 8×8 pan, pie dish, or serving cups
  • Microwave-safe bowl or saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Refrigerator space
  • Cutting board (if chopping chocolate)

👩‍🍳 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.
  • Chill while preparing the filling.

🔹 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.


Step 6 — Cool Slightly

  • Let mixture sit 5–10 minutes.
  • 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.
  • For faster setting, place in freezer 35 minutes.

Step 9 — Slice or Scoop

  • Slice into squares, or scoop into bowls.
  • Serve chilled for best texture.

🍽️ Servings & Timing

  • Makes: 9–12 servings
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Chill Time: 2–3 hours
  • Total Time: ~3 hours

🧊 Storage

5. Can kids eat this?

7. Can I prepare it in cups?

Yes — beautiful for individual servings.

No — completely no-bake.

9. Can I use heavy whipping cream?

Yes — same product.
