Equipment
- Measuring spoons (or kitchen scale)
- Large mixing bowl
- Food Processor (or Zip-top bag and rolling pin)
- Small saucepan (For heating the milk mixture)
- Baking Pan (6 or 7-inch, round or square)
- Parchment paper
- Your hands
Ingredients
- 40 Oreo cookies
- ½ tbsp baking powder (7g)
- 1 cup milk (240g; can be substituted with unsweetened soy milk, oat milk, coconut milk, or other plant-based milk)
- 2 cups chocolate cereal (for decoration)
- 1 tbsp Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Divide the cookies and filling of 40 Oreos into two separate bowls.
- Crush the 80 cookie parts into a fine powder using a machine grinder or place them in a bag and crush with a rolling pin.
- Mix the crushed cookies with ½ tbsp baking powder.
- Heat 1 cup of milk in a small pot over low heat until it starts to simmer.
- Turn off the heat and add the Oreo filling and stir until completely dissolved.
- Pour the warm milk mixture into the crushed Oreo powder and stir well to form a batter.
- Line a 6 or 7-inch cake pan with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake at 375°F for 30-40 minutes, or until a bamboo stick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool slightly, then remove it from the pan and peel off the parchment paper.
- Crumble the baked cake with your hands into fine crumbs.
- Take about ⅛ of the crumbled cake, roll and shape it into a cone shape.
- Starting at the base, tightly press chocolate cereals one piece at a time into the cone, layering them to mimic pine cone scales. Repeat with the remaining crumbled cake.
- Optionally, dust the finished pine cones with powdered sugar to create a snow-like effect.
