Chocolate Cookie Crumble Topping (Printable)

Rich, crunchy chocolate cookie crumble ready in 10 minutes. Perfect over ice cream, yogurt, or pies.

# What You'll Need:

→ Base

01 - 10 chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreos)
02 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

→ Optional Add-ins

03 - 1 tablespoon chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips
04 - 1 tablespoon chopped toasted nuts (hazelnuts or walnuts)
05 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (for salted finish)

# Directions:

01 - Place chocolate cookies in a food processor and pulse until coarse crumbs form. Alternatively, seal cookies in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin until evenly broken down.
02 - Transfer crumbs to a mixing bowl. Pour melted butter over crumbs and mix thoroughly until evenly coated and texture resembles wet sand.
03 - Fold in any desired add-ins such as chopped dark chocolate, toasted nuts, or sea salt. Mix until evenly distributed throughout the crumble mixture.
04 - Sprinkle generously over ice cream, yogurt, pies, or puddings. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

# Cooking Tips:

01 -
  • It takes literally ten minutes to make and keeps for days
  • The texture contrast makes every bite more exciting
02 -
  • The crumbs should stay coarse not pulverized into powder
  • Let the butter cool slightly before mixing so it does not melt the chocolate filling too much
03 -
  • Use gluten-free cookies to make this completely gluten-free
  • A pinch of flaky salt on top right before serving makes all the difference
