Oreo Logs
Ingredients
10
servings
- 1 (16 oz) bag of Oreo cookies
- 2 (8 oz) cans of sweetened condensed milk
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- In a large bowl, mix the crushed Oreos and sweetened condensed milk together until well combined and the mixture holds together.
- Using your hands, roll the mixture into logs about 4 inches long and 2 inches thick.
- Place on a serving platter or wrap individually in plastic wrap for storage. Can be refrigerated until ready to serve.
Common Problems and Solutions
Q: Why is my mixture too dry and crumbly?
A: You may need to add a bit more condensed milk, a tablespoon at a time, until the mixture holds together when pressed. Different brands of Oreos can vary slightly in moisture content.
Q: Why won't my logs hold their shape?
A: The mixture might be too wet. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the cookies to absorb the condensed milk, or add a few more crushed Oreos to thicken it up.
Tips and Techniques
For easier handling, chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before rolling into logs. You can also roll the finished logs in extra crushed Oreos, chopped pecans, or sprinkles for added texture and visual appeal.
