Oreo Mudslide Recipe
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups chocolate sandwich cookies (Oreos), roughly chopped
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream, cold
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
Whipped cream and chocolate shavings (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped Oreo cookies and melted butter. Mix thoroughly until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
2. Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk, beating until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, beat the cold heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
4. Assemble the dessert: Pour half of the cream cheese mixture over the Oreo crust in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle half of the melted chocolate chips over the cream cheese layer. Repeat with the remaining cream cheese mixture and melted chocolate chips.
5. Chill and serve: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the dessert to set completely. Once chilled, garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, if desired. Cut into squares and serve cold.
