OREO - The Black Cookie with white cream.....

I think everyone young and old loves to eat Oreo cookies. There are so many companies imitating the Oreo cookies but the original is still the best. There are so many ways to bake using Oreo cookies to supplement the flavour. One of them is:

Oreo Butter Cake


 225g Cake flour
 1 tsp baking powder
 1/2 tsp baking soda
 1/2 tsp salt
 85g unsalted butter                       
 150g caster sugar
 2 eggs, lightly beaten
 240ml non-fat natural flavour yogurt
 1 tsp vanilla essence
 80g Oreo cookies (roughly crushed)
 some Oreo for decorating

1) Preheat oven to 180 degrees C and line & grease an 8" round cake pan.
2) Sift Cake flour, baking powder, baking soda & salt.
3) Cream butter, sugar and cream from the Oreo cookies till light and fluffy.
4) Ad eggs slowly, about 1 tbsp at a time.
5) gently fold in 1/3 of the flour mixture until combine, follow by 1/2 of the yogurt & 1/2 of the flour and mix then the vanilla extract and remaining yogurt and finally the remaining flour.
6) Lastly, add crushed cookies and mix well.
7) Pour into pan and arrange whole oreo on top.
8) Bake for about 40 - 50 mins.


Still can't get enough of Oreo? This is another easy recipe to follow and does not involve baking. It's the :

Oreo Cheesecake  
 
Crust:
1 cup crushed Oreo cookies
50g butter, melted

500g Cream Cheese, softened
3/4 cup caster sugar

1 cup dairy whipping cream, lightly whipped
100g Oreo cookies, crushed
50g Oreo cookies, roughly chopped


1) Combine cookies and melted butter of crust and press into spring form pan. Chill in fridge.
2) Beat Cream cheese and sugar until smooth. You can add the cream scraped from the cookies.
3) Fold in the gelatin mixture, lemon juice, whipped cream and lastly the roughly chopped Oreo cookies.
4) Pour filling onto prepared crust and refrigerate for 30 mins.
5) Sprinkle with extra crushed Oreo on top and refrigerate until set.

  1. Hi Sis,

    For the no bake Oreo cheesecake, do not use boiling water to bloom the gelatine. Gelatine lost its function to thicken/set if added to very hot liquid, that's why you alway see people bloom the gelatine powder in cool water, then microwave slowly until it melt. Give it a try and the cheesecake shouldn't melt that easily at room temperature.
