Ingredients
Scale
Cake Base
- 3 cups Oreos, crushed
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
Whipped Cream
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 2 tbsp sugar (granulated or powdered)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 2 tbsp crushed Oreos (optional, for texture)
Chocolate Ganache
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (good quality)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Garnish
- Oreo crumbs, chocolate jimmies (sprinkles)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cake base.
- Prepare Cake Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with baking powder and milk. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
- Bake Cake Base: Pour the Oreo mixture into an 8×8 inch baking dish lined with parchment paper or sprayed with non-stick spray. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes until set.
- Whip Cream: In a large bowl, whisk the heavy cream using a hand mixer or by hand until it begins to thicken. Add sugar and vanilla extract, continue whisking until stiff peaks form. Optionally, fold in crushed Oreos for added texture.
- Prepare Chocolate Ganache: Place chocolate chips in a heat-safe bowl. Heat the heavy cream in the microwave for about 1 minute or until it starts to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips, let sit for 2-3 minutes to soften, then whisk until smooth and glossy.
- Assemble Cake: Portion the baked cake into individual ramekins or serving dishes. Spread a smooth layer of whipped cream over the cake and place in the freezer for a few minutes to set while preparing the ganache.
- Finish with Ganache and Garnish: Pour the chocolate ganache evenly over the whipped cream layer and smooth it out. Garnish the top with Oreo crumbs or chocolate jimmies for decoration. Serve chilled.
Notes
- Use good quality chocolate chips for a richer ganache flavor.
- Freezing the cake briefly after adding whipped cream helps the ganache set better.
- You can omit the vanilla extract if unavailable, but it enhances the whipped cream flavor.
- Crushing Oreos finely will give a smoother cake texture; larger pieces add crunch.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
