So yesterday was my roommate's birthday. And Steph LOVES Oreos. Loves them.
And thus Oreo Cookie Butter was born!
No, this is not healthy. But, it is for a birthday, so indulge the birthday kid!
This is a great gift for Oreo lovers in your life. It's cute and fun. And I'm pretty sure you could do this with most cookies, if you happen to have, say, a snicker doodle lover in your life. The best kind of people (:
It's super easy and pretty quick. The secret to this butter: keep blending. You need to blend much longer than you think you're going to. This works best in a food processor, but if you don't happen to have one (like, perhaps because you're a poor college student) any blender works fine. It will just take a little more work. The stronger the blender, the better.
I was excited, because it gave me a chance to use my bigger Ninja blender! Yeah!
(have I mentioned I love my Ninja blender? Cause I do. A lot.) Anyway...
Herewego:
Ingredients:
- 1 packages Oreos (about 30-36 cookies, depending on what stuff level you get)
- 1/4 cup oil (vegetable, olive, coconut, etc)
Directions:
- Crush your Oreos in a bowl (you don't have to do this, but it will speed up the blending process)
- Place them in a food processor/blender with your oil, and blend. Blend some more. Blend longer. You're probably going to have to stop a few times and scrape down the sides.
- Keep blending until it's slightly runnier than you want it to be. As it cools down, it will harden up a bit (a little more if you use coconut oil). It makes a little less then a full Mason jar full.
And what can you put this on, you ask.
EVERYTHING!
Seriously, imagine it's like peanut butter. Out it on bread, graham crackers, ice cream, swirled into yogurt, etc.
Yum (: enjoy!
