How might I effectively crush Oreo cookies to put on top of my ice cream?

Answer 1

Try this Gizelle: Put the cookies in a zip lock bag and use a rolling pin to crush them. Works every time.

Answer 2

Depending on the quantity I need, I use either of 3 methods:
1) For large quantities (like for Holiday baking or ice cream parties) I use a food processor (and any leftover goes into tightly sealed baggie and frozen.
2) For medium sized portions, use a freezer bag (sandwich bags tend to be too fragile) and after sealing in the cookies pass a rolling pin over them until desired "crumbliness'
3) For just a one or two cookies (one serving) I take a sheet of kitchen paper or napkin and wrap the cookie(s) in it and use a ceramic cup to smash into crumbs.

Answer 3

a blender works very well. if you cannot do that. use a clean dish towel. and put 6 to 8 cookies in it. pull up the corners to make the towel like a little pouch.

place it on a cutting board and whack the hell out of the cookies with a rooling pin.

or you could beat a sibling it untill the cookies are crumbs
this is less effective but much more fun.

Answer 4

Put the Oreos in a ziploc bag or any clean plastic bag and give it a few good whacks with your rolling pin or the bottom of heavy pan, works every time. Enjoy

Answer 5

Is this a serious question? If so, place them in a zip lock plastic bag the kind used for sandwiches or freezers. Take a cup and crush them lightly. This works well with any kind of cookie, cracker that you wish to crumble.

Answer 6

Before placing in ziplock bag ( if you prefer to use a bag) seperate the two cookies from the creamy middle. So you get the cookie crumbs and not the added "cookie cream".

Answer 7

put the cookies in a plastic bag and roll something over them or just roll the bag around in your hands. Then you can just pour them on your ice cream and save some for later. I love oreos on ice cream too. :)

Answer 8

Oreo's might want to provide a valuable, wealthy flavor yet in case you want somehting extra clean then flow for the strawberries. in case you cant settle on then why do not you weigh down up oreos and chop the strawberries up and combine them in which contains some chocolate sauce to make a chocolate, oreo and strawberry sauce and placed all of it over the ice cream.. mmmm im making myseld hungry! satisfied ingesting!

Answer 9

The best way is to put them in a plastic bag and crunch them with a rolling pin. Or put them in foil. Or put them in a microwave for 30 seconds and they just crumble.

Answer 10

Either put them in a zip top bag, and smash them with a rolling pin or meat mallet, or put them in the food processor.
