Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I usually dive into the crust first! Take your Oreo cookies and crush them into fine crumbs. You can do this by placing them in a resealable bag and crushing them with a rolling pin, or simply blitzing them in a food processor. Once you have that lovely crumb mixture, stir in the melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your baking dish to form a solid crust. It should feel like a solid foundation for the delicious layers to come. The smell of crushed Oreos is just divine! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
