The Magic of Skillet Baking
Skillet baking has become my latest obsession. I adore how it evenly and flawlessly cooks everything. And what better way to impress your loved ones than by creating a scrumptious brownie recipe with hidden Oreo surprises, topped with a dollop of ice cream? The best part is that it comes together effortlessly, leaving everyone under the impression that you’ve slaved away in the kitchen for hours!
How to Make Oreo Brownies
To start, whip up a batch of our delectable brownies using the recipe below. Meanwhile, make sure to prepare your cast iron skillet. The process varies among individuals, but ensure you take the necessary steps to prevent the brownies from sticking. Personally, I prefer using a non-stick spray and then seasoning the skillet with bacon grease after I’ve devoured the entire pan. Well, you know what I mean—after we’ve finished savoring them all.
Once your skillet is ready, pour one-third of the brownie batter into it. Next, take 19 irresistible Oreo cookies and carefully place them over the batter. Now, pour the remaining two-thirds of the batter, ensuring that each Oreo is fully covered. This ensures a heavenly Oreo experience in every bite!
Now, it’s time to bake these heavenly treats. Place the skillet in a preheated oven set to 350°F (175°C) and let the magic happen for approximately 35 minutes. Due to the skillet’s heat retention capabilities, it’s best to remove them a couple of minutes before they are fully done. I usually insert a toothpick at the 35-minute mark and check for a few tiny wet crumbs. Trust me, this is a good thing—a sign of ooey-gooey deliciousness!
Let Your Taste Buds Rejoice
Take the brownies out of the oven and allow them to cool for about five minutes. Then, go ahead and add a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. For an extra touch of indulgence, drizzle a few crushed Oreo cookies over the ice cream. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also add some hot fudge, marshmallow topping, caramel, or butterscotch sauce. The possibilities are endless, and no matter how you choose to enjoy these brownies, one thing is certain—they will taste absolutely amazing!
