Deliciously Homemade OREO® Cookie Crumbs
With just a few ingredients, you can whip up your very own cookie crumbs in no time. Perfect for pie crusts, toppings, or even as a secret ingredient in your favorite baked goods!
Ingredients
- 1 package of OREO® cookies
- 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter (optional, for added richness)
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) if you plan to crisp the crumbs in the oven for added texture. This step is optional, as you can use the crumbs straight from the package as well.
- Open the package of OREO® cookies and carefully remove the cream filling if desired. This can give your crumbs a more intense chocolate flavor, but it’s totally up to you!
- Place the cookies in a food processor. Pulse them until they reach a fine crumb consistency. If you prefer a coarser texture, pulse less.
- If you want a richer flavor, melt the tablespoon of unsalted butter and mix it in with the cookie crumbs until well combined.
- Spread the crumbs onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 5-7 minutes if you used butter and want to crisp them up. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Once done, remove them from the oven and let them cool before using.
Now that you have your homemade OREO® cookie crumbs, the possibilities are endless! Use them to top ice cream, incorporate them into cheesecake, or press them into the bottom of a springform pan for a chocolatey crust. Enjoy your culinary adventure with this simple yet satisfying recipe!
