Ingredients
- 5 regular size or 15 mini Oreo Cookies (50 g)
- 1 tbsp (14 g) Unsalted Butter
- 8 tbsp (100 g) Cream Cheese
- 2 tbsp (30 g) Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 tsp (3 ml) Vanilla Extract
- Melted dark chocolate for the spider-web decoration
Instructions
- Remove the filling from the Oreo cookies. Place the cookies in a bag and crush into fine crumbs.
- In a microwave-safe 9 cm (3.5 inch), 180 ml ramekin, microwave the butter at 1200 W for 15–20 seconds until melted. Mix in the crumbs and press firmly into the bottom.
- Mix the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until combined. Spoon over the crumb base and spread evenly.
- Microwave at 700 W for four separate 30-second intervals, opening the door and checking after each interval. Do not microwave continuously for 2 minutes, because the filling can overflow.
- Place in the freezer for 1 hour. Unmould onto a plate, then turn upright so the crust is underneath.
- Pipe melted dark chocolate over the top: draw spokes from the centre, then connect them with curved lines to make a spider web.
