Ingredients
  

  • 24 Oreo cookies (double-stuff for richer filling)

Notes

Use chilled ingredients for optimal cream stability.
Press cookies firmly but avoid over-packing to maintain texture.
For vegan option: substitute heavy cream with coconut milk and use vegan sugar.
Let cream rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before assembling for smoother mixing if not using Cool whip.
Over-pulverizing cookies creates dust instead of crumbs.
Double-stuff Oreos enhance richness; ensure no alcohol in vanilla extract.
