Cookies and Cream Slices: My craziness for the Oreo cookie!

Ok, I know what you will say, "THE OREO AGAIN!" Well, I have to admit that I really can't say no to this ^^. As long as I still love my Oreo cookie (and I need about 3 packs of it in the fridge, haha).



But how can you resist it, the soft white cream and the deep dark chocolate cookie, the contrast between the sweetness and bitterness, that create the delicious sandwich cookie, that I love!
For this time, the cookie and cream come in big slice. I get the recipe from the book 


The recipe is the answer for both me and my sister, the combination of the sweet and creamy from the white chocolate and cream cheese with a big chunk of Oreo cookies. 
I make a small tray of this sweet, well, I think that most of us know it, that even we like to indulge ourself with the food that we love but the moderation is what we need too ^^. I really believe that you can eat anything as long as you don't eat too much of it, and we will be happy with our food and  our health at the same time.
I just try the new method for making a cookie crust by beating the butter than melting it, the results is good, you will get more light (not too dense) crust, but there is a down side that the crust won't hold its shape very well if the slice is in the room temperature for a long time.
So, if you want denser crust, just melt the butter and mix it with the cookie crumbs. And I hope that you will love this dessert as much as I do, esp. if you're crazy about the Oreo as much as I do, haha.

  10. Hi, Allie
    I use the bottom removable pan, so it's easy to take the cake out of the pan. But if you don't have that kind of pan, just line the pan with double layers of aluminium foil, with the rim hang out of the pan, you can take the cake out by graping the foil.

  13. Hi pook
    When dissolving the gelatin, u said use cold water...your cold means room temperature or like cold from the fridge?

  14. For this recipe you can use the room temperature water ^^, but using cold water from the fridge will make gelatin absorb water better and easier to melt.

  15. Hi pook,
    thanks for the prompt reply. i made the cookies and cream slice this afternoon, however my batter was rather runny (i think its because of the warm gelatin mixture), will it set properly? because when i touched the surface just now (after 8hours), it still has not set.

  16. Hi, Clodage
    May I ask what kind of the cream cheese that you use, I wonder if you use a low-fat one or not.
    If not the problem can come from the strength of your gelatin, you may need to increase amount of it.

  17. Hi pook,

    Im using the normal philadelphia cream cheese. not low fat. for the gelatin i am using gelatin made from fish (bloom 200), i dont really understand the "bloom 200" though. and btw, want to ask u something about creme brulee - can i use normal whipping cream instead of heavy cream?

  18. Hi, Clodagh
    I think that you have to increase the gelatin, because it's the only thing that will make the cake firmer. It depends on how firm you want it to be. You will need about 1/4 tsp-1/2tsp more.
