Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 bars
Ingredients
- 1 package Oreo cookies, crushed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup green food coloring
- 1 cup whipped cream
- Extra crushed Oreos for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing excess paper to hang over the sides for easy removal.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies with melted butter. Mix thoroughly until the crumbs are completely coated and resemble wet sand.
- Press the Oreo cookie mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed measuring cup to create a compact crust.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove and let cool completely at room temperature, approximately 15-20 minutes.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk with green food coloring. Stir until the color is uniform and vibrant green.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream into the green condensed milk mixture, creating a light and fluffy filling. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream while mixing.
- Pour the green filling evenly over the cooled Oreo cookie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure an even layer.
- Sprinkle additional crushed Oreo cookies over the top of the filling for added texture and decoration.
- Refrigerate the bars for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the filling to set completely.
- Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 16 equal squares using a sharp knife.
- Serve chilled and store any remaining bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Ensure your Oreo crust is packed tightly to create a solid base that won't crumble.
- Use gel food coloring for a more vibrant green color without adding extra liquid.
- Fold the whipped cream gently to maintain its airy texture and prevent deflation.
- Chill the bars thoroughly for the best texture and easiest cutting.
- For clean cuts, use a sharp knife and wipe it between each slice.
- Serve directly from the refrigerator for the most refreshing experience.
- Feel free to experiment with different Oreo flavors for a unique twist!
