Making an Oreo cup dessert at home is surprisingly straightforward. You do not need to be a professional pastry chef. The ingredients look like a lot on paper, but they are standard items you likely already have in your pantry. The best part? It takes about 20 minutes to prepare and 15 minutes to cook.
This Turkish-inspired treat has become hugely popular recently. It is rich, layered, and perfect for serving to guests or enjoying as a sweet reward after dinner. Here is how to make it without the stress.
Ingredients You Will Need
Before you start, gather your supplies. You are making two distinct creams: a white vanilla cream and a dark chocolate cream.
For the White Cream:
– 5 cups of milk
– 1 tea glass of granulated sugar
– 4 tablespoons of cornstarch
– 1 packet of vanillin (vanilla sugar)
– Half a packet of cream powder
For the Chocolate Cream:
– 2.5 cups of milk
– 3 tablespoons of sugar
– 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder
– 1 tablespoon of flour
– 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
– Half a packet of cream powder
– 1 packet of dark chocolate
For Assembly:
– Whole hazelnuts
– Oreo cookies
How to Prepare the White Cream
Start with the white layer. Grab a medium-sized saucepan. Pour in 5 cups of milk. Now, add the vanillin, cornstarch, and the tea glass of sugar.
Stir this mixture vigorously. You need to ensure there are no lumps. If there are lumps, your cream will be gritty. Do not skip this step.
Once the mixture is smooth, place the saucepan on the stove. Turn the heat to medium. Watch it closely. When it starts to boil, remove it from the heat immediately. Keep stirring occasionally even off the heat to prevent a skin from forming.
Let the cream cool down until it is just warm. Once it cools, stir in the half packet of cream powder until it is fully incorporated. Set it aside.
How to Make the Chocolate Cream
While the white cream cools, start the chocolate layer. Use a clean saucepan. Add 2.5 cups of milk.
Add the cocoa powder, flour, sugar, and cornstarch to the milk. Whisk them in. The flour helps thicken it slightly differently than the white cream.
Turn on the stove. Cook until the mixture reaches a boil. Once it bubbles, remove it from the heat.
Here is the key flavor step: Stir in the packet of dark chocolate. The residual heat will melt it into the cream. Let this mixture cool down as well.
Once it is warm, add the half packet of cream powder. Whisk it thoroughly until the texture is uniform and smooth.
Assembling the Oreo Cup Dessert
The assembly is where the magic happens. You can use glass jars or small serving bowls. Glass is better because you can see the beautiful layers.
- First Layer: Spoon a layer of the white vanilla cream into the bottom of your serving dish.
- Cookie Layer: Take your Oreos. Break them into quarters.
