What You Need
You don’t need a pantry full of baking ingredients for this cookies & cream slice – just 5 simple ingredients!
Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the ingredients quantities and full detailed method!
For The Base
- Chocolate biscuits – such Arnott’s Chocolate Ripple, or any variety of crunchy chocolate biscuits or cookies.
- Oreo cookies – these sweet little mouthfuls have been the favourite sandwich cookie in the US for over 100 years!
- Sweetened condensed milk – I use Nestle condensed milk, and recommend using the full fat version for best flavour and because it also sets the base of the slice firmer.
- Butter – salted or unsalted, either are suitable for use in this recipe.
For The Topping
- Cookies and Cream chocolate – t’s a few different brands available such as Cadbury, Oreo, Darrell Lea Cookies & Cream, Hersheys Cookies & Cream, or Nestle Milky Bar Cookies etc.
- Coconut Oil – or a mild vegetable oil (optional). This helps to stop the chocolate from cracking when it’s cut into slices.
Equipment Required
If you haven’t got a food processor or Thermomix, you can always crush the biscuits with a rolling pin. Popping them in to a plastic bag makes it easier to crush – less mess!
- Food processor or Thermomix- to crush the biscuits.
- Microwave, Thermomix, or saucepan and stove top – to melt the chocolate.
Step By Step Instructions
The sweet little Oreo cookies add an extra creamy level to the chocolate base – which is perfectly complemented with a layer of cookies and cream chocolate on top!
Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the ingredients quantities and full detailed method!
Step 1 – Crush The Biscuits And Make The Base
Prepare a 18cm x 28cm rectangular slice tray by greasing and lining it with baking paper.
Crush the chocolate biscuits and Oreos until they resemble fine crumbs.
Add the sweetened condensed milk and melted butter and mix well to combine. Add a little more sweetened condensed milk if your mixture is too crumbly.
If using a Thermomix: Place the butter into the Thermomix bowl and melt for 2 minutes on 80 degrees, Speed 2 (or until melted). Add the chocolate biscuits and Oreo cookies to the Thermomix bowl and blitz for 5 seconds on Speed 8. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and repeat for a further 5 seconds.Â
Add the condensed milk and mix for 15 seconds on Reverse, Speed 4, or until well combined. If the mixture is too crumbly, add a little more condensed milk and mix for 10 seconds on Reverse, Speed 4.Â
Step 2 – Press Base Into Tin
Press the biscuit mixture firmly into the lined tin and then place in the refrigerator.
Step 3 – Melt The Chocolate
Break the Cookies & Cream chocolate into pieces and place into a microwave-safe bowl.
Add the coconut oil and melt in the microwave on 50% power for 3-4 minutes (stirring every 30 seconds), until just melted.Â
If using a Thermomix: Break the Cookies & Cream chocolate into pieces and place into a clean and dry Thermomix bowl. Add the coconut oil and melt for 3-4 minutes on 50 degrees, Speed 2 (or until melted and smooth).Â
Step 4 – Spread Chocolate Topping Over The Base
Pour the melted chocolate over the chocolate base and place back into the fridge for 3-4 hours to set.Â

FAQs
If I use a non-stick slice tray, do I still have to line it with baking paper?
I recommend lining your tray with baking paper, as this makes cleaning up simpler, and much easier to remove the slice from the tin.
Why do you add coconut oil to the chocolate layer?
The addition of a little coconut oil (or vegetable oil) makes the chocolate topping much easier to cut without the chocolate cracking.
See my tips for cutting slices perfectly .
What’s a suitable substitute for coconut oil?
Any oil that has a mild neutral flavour, that is, it doesn’t add a distinctive flavour to the chocolate layer. Suitable oils to use include a mild vegetable oil, canola oil or sunflower oil.
You can’t go past a no-bake slice for speed and simplicity, and the choices are simply endless! Excuse me, I’m just going off to sample my cookies & cream slice again……
