Recipe Notes
Use Oreos whole with filling for the base. Substitutes: 1 cup Graham Cracker crumbs, Arnott’s Marie, or digestive crackers with added butter and sugar.
Ensure cream is heavy whipping cream that can be whipped, not pouring cream.
Nutella drizzle enhances flavour and appearance since only limited Nutella can be incorporated in the filling while maintaining texture.
If using a stand mixer, fit paddle attachment for smooth blending.
Refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving. For faster setting, freeze for 30 minutes.
Nutella can also be microwaved in a bowl and drizzled with a spoon instead of piping.
Best served chilled. Will hold shape for about 1 hour at 20°C/70°F. Keep refrigerated if warmer.
