Oreo Taho

While the classic version will always have our hearts, this unique Oreo twist of our childhood favorite is making a serious case for itself.

Serving portion: 8-10 servings

Preparation time: 20 minutes (Chill for at least 2-4 hours)

INGREDIENTS

4 ½ cups soya milk

2 cups Nestle All Purpose Cream

2/3 cup white granulated sugar

4 tablespoons gelatin powder hydrated in 2/3 cup cold soya milk

1 cup Oreo crumbs

Oreo Arnibal:

1 1/4 cups brown sugar

1 ½ cups water

½ cup Oreo crumbs

1 ½ cups mini sago

1 pack Oreo Slug (133 g)

6 pieces chopped

8 pieces whole cookies

PROCEDURE

Prepare all the ingredients.

1. In a clean bowl sprinkle the gelatin powder with 2/3 cup cold soya milk. Mix then let the gelatin powder absorb the soya milk for at least 5 minutes. Set aside.

2. In a small saucepan, combine 4 1⁄2 cups soya milk, Nestle All Purpose Cream with sugar and cook over medium heat until the mixture starts to boil. Turn off the flame then add the hydrated gelatin. Stir until fully dissolved.

3. Mix in the Oreo crumbs. Allow the mixture to come to room temperature before chilling in the fridge for 2-4 hours, or until the taho is firm in texture.

To Prepare the Oreo Arnibal:

1. In a small sauce pan, combine brown sugar, water and Oreo crumbs. Let it boil until desired consistency. Totally cool down the mixture before using or else the taho will melt.

To assemble:

1. Put a layer of Oreo crumbs in the serving glass.

2. Use a spoon or a ladle to scoop up thin layers of chilled taho. Place in a serving glass. Drizzle with a few teaspoons of Oreo Arnibal over chilled taho. Layer with sago and chopped Oreo.

3. Garnish with 1 whole Oreo cookie on top before serving.
