What is meant by Oreo crumbs? Do you use all of the cookie with the filling or leave it out?
Oreo crumbs are the entire cookie creme and all ground up. All you need to do is crush the entire cookie with a rolling pin or place into a food processor. Thank you for this question. I will add it to the information for anyone!
It says to add ginger in the instructions but it’s not on the ingredient list. How much ginger do you use?
Thank you so much for catching my mistake! Not sure I missed adding that! I used 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger. If you enjoy ginger you can up it to 1/2 teaspoon for additional flavor! Have a wonderful thanksgiving!
