This recipe we also found on the internet and modified it to our personal taste, again I apologise that I am not able to give you exact measurements as I always kind of guess the amounts of the ingredients that I need but I will try my best to explain it so that you can also enjoy this at your home.
This desert is so easy to make and it is very tasty. It also presents itself very beautifully in a glass as an individual serving so that the guests can see the different layers.
What you need
- Oreo biscuits
- 1 container of cream cheese
- Cocoa powder – sifted
- Icing Suger (Powder sugar) – sifted
- Cream – whipped until it has formed very stiff peaks
We adjust our amounts according to the amount that we need to make.
First we crush the Oreo biscuits until nice and fine, or rather Jacques crushes the biscuits. This is a job that I really do not enjoy doing so he is the boss of the biscuits. After the biscuits are crushed he puts a thin layer into our serving glasses. We have nice small dessert size glasses but a wine glass also works great.
In Israel cream cheese like Philadelphia is very expensive so we rather purchase a large container of Gvina levana, a soft white creamy cheese yet much lower fat content and let it drain through a cheese cloth for a few hours until it is the consistency that we need. This of course is Jacques’ job as I refuse to touch the white cheese. It is completely gross.
(Sorry I should probably not say this on a recipe)
Once the cheese is the right consistency we put it into the mixer and whip it so that it becomes nice and fluffy. Then we add the icing sugar and cocoa powder to the cream cheese. The best advice that I can give regarding amounts is that you taste while you add your ingredients until it is as sweet and chocolaty as you prefer.
Once the icing sugar and cocoa are well mixed with the cream cheese we add the whipped cream and mix it all together.
Place the mixture into a piping bag and then fill the glass container until about half. Then we add another layer of Oreo biscuits and then again another layer of the cream mixture.
How many layers you do is entirely up to you and also the size of your serving glass.
Other creative ideas for serving suggestions that we have done in the past is the following:
Placing a small amount of plain whipped cream at the top of the final layer.
Placing a small Oreo cookie at the top.
Placing a small mint leaf on top.
