🛒 Ingredients
For the Cake:
-
360g OREO cookies (about 3 regular packs) – cream filling reserved
-
360ml milk (1½ cups) – any variety works, including dairy-free alternatives
-
15g baking powder (1 tbsp)
For the Chocolate Ganache Topping:
-
150g milk chocolate – or swap for dark chocolate if you prefer
-
400g heavy cream or table cream (about 2 standard boxes or ~1⅔ cups)
🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
🎂 Make the Cake:
-
Separate the OREO filling from the cookies. Set the cream aside in a bowl.
-
Crush the cookies (without the filling) into fine crumbs. You can use a rolling pin or food processor.
-
Mix crumbs + baking powder in a large mixing bowl.
-
Add milk gradually, stirring until a smooth, pourable batter forms.
-
Add back the cream filling and mix until fully incorporated.
-
Grease a pan with about 1 tsp of cooking oil and line the bottom with parchment paper.
-
Pour in the batter, cover with a lid, and cook on low heat for 35–40 minutes. No oven needed!
-
Once done, let the cake cool, then invert onto a plate and gently peel off the parchment.
🍫 Prepare the Ganache:
-
Melt the milk chocolate in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between until smooth.
-
Add cream and mix until fully combined and glossy.
-
Pour the ganache over the cooled cake, spreading it gently with a spatula.
💡 Pro Tips
✨ Save the OREO cream! It adds extra moisture and signature flavor to the batter.
🧊 Chill your ganache in the fridge before spreading if you want a thicker, fudgy consistency.
🔥 Low & slow is key. Cooking over low heat ensures an even bake and prevents burning.
🍫 Swap the chocolate. Try white chocolate or even Nutella for a fun twist!

📌 FAQs
Can I bake this in the oven instead of on the stovetop?
Yes! Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
What size pan should I use?
A small 6-inch round cake pan or any similar-sized pan with a lid works best.
Can I make this vegan?
Totally! Use dairy-free milk, cream, and vegan chocolate. Most OREOs are accidentally vegan.
How should I store leftovers?
Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. It’s even better chilled!
Can I use other cookies?
You can try it with other cream-filled cookies, but OREOs give the best structure and flavor.
