Notes
Ingredient Notes
-
- Creme De Menthe: You can find it in the Cordials section of the liquor store. I prefer the brand Marie Brizard.
- Marshmallow Fluff: It can usually be found in the baking aisle of your supermarket.
- Oreos: Avoid premade Oreo crusts which may not be big enough to hold all of your filling.
- Heavy Cream: Look for one at least 36% fat to easily get stiff peaks. Keep as cold as possible until ready to use.
- Crushing Cookies By Hand: No food processor? No problem! Crush in a plastic baggie with a rolling pin instead. Then press into pan with a measuring cup to help them bind together.
- Don't Skip Cooling: Cool the marshmallow mixture in an ice bath so it doesn't melt the remaining ingredients.
- Be Careful: Always remove your saucepan from the heat before adding alcohol to reduce the risk of it catching on fire.
- Use a Cold Whisk: A cold metal balloon whisk ice cold bowl, and cream straight out of freezer for reduce the time it takes to whip the cream.
- Fold, Don’t Stir Use a rubber spatula and lift from bottom to keep air bubbles intact.
