Ingredients
- 1 box of chocolate cake mix (about 15.25 ounces)
- 1 package of Oreo cookies (about 36 cookies)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Optional: vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving
Feel free to experiment with different types of Oreos or even add a handful of chocolate chips to the mix. My grandmother always said the kitchen is a place for creativity, so never hesitate to put your own spin on it!
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish, setting the stage for your delicious creation.
- Layer the bottom of the dish with half of the Oreo cookies. Crush them slightly if you prefer a more even texture, but leaving some whole adds a nice surprise in each bite.
- Sprinkle the chocolate cake mix evenly over the Oreo layer. Ensure it’s spread out well to create a consistent base.
- Pour the melted butter evenly over the cake mix. This step always reminds me of my grandmother’s gentle hands as she added her special touches to our family meals.
- Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk over the top. This is where the magic starts to happen, creating a gooey, irresistible layer.
- Add the remaining Oreos on top, pressing them slightly into the mixture. Finish by pouring the heavy cream over everything, allowing it to seep through the layers.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. The aroma will fill your kitchen, transporting you to a place of warmth and comfort.
- Let the cake cool slightly before serving. This is the perfect moment to reflect on the sweet simplicity of this dessert and the joy it will bring to those you share it with.
