Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup butter, unsalted
- 1 oz unsweetened chocolate
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 15 Oreo cookies, processed finely in a food processor
Oreo Cream Frosting Ingredients - 1/2 stick of butter, unsalted
- 1/4 cup vegetable shortening
- 1 1/4 cup confectioners sugar (aka powdered sugar)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 6 Oreo cookies, roughly crushed (use a zip top bag and rolling pin)
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350°F.
- Line a 8″x8″ square baking pan with parchment paper. The parchment paper should be cut into a rectangle so that some of it extends about an inch out of the pan. This will make your handles for easily lifting the brownies out! 🙂
- Melt the chocolate and butter and combine well. You can use the double boiler technique, but I find it easier to just heat it in a glass measuring cup in the microwave. Heat it in 30 second increments and stir.
- Once the chocolate and the butter have melted together allow to cool for a few minutes, then add the sugar, vanilla and eggs. Use a whisk so the eggs are well incorporated.
- In a medium sized bowl Combine the processed Oreo cookies and the all purpose flour.
- To the mixing bowl add the chocolatey butter mixture. Combine well with a mixing spoon.
- Once the batter is well combined, pour the batter into the baking pan (lined with parchment paper) and spread it out evenly using a spatula.
- Bake this in the oven for 30 minutes.
- Once the brownie is finished baking, allow to cool while still in the pan for about 15 minutes.
- After this, you can carefully lift the brownie out of the pan and allow to reach room temperature on a cooling rack.
- Once cooled, evenly frost with the Oreo cream and sprinkle with the roughly crushed Oreo cookies.
- Place in the fridge to chill for about 1 hour to allow for easier slicing.
- Remove from the fridge at least 10 minutes before serving. Slice into 9 even squares.
How to make the frosting - While the brownie is baking, cream together the butter and the vegetable shortening using a stand mixer or hand mixer.
- Add the vanilla.
- While mixing add the confectioner’s sugar about 1/4 of a cup at a time until well combined.
