Method
step 1
Finely crush half of the Oreos either in a sandwich bag with a rolling pin or in a food processor until you have a breadcrumb consistency.
step 2
Roughly chop the rest of the Oreos – keep them chunky.
step 3
Put the butter, cream cheese and icing sugar in a bowl and whisk with an electric whisk until soft and fluffy, then whisk in the custard.
step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk the double cream to soft peaks, then fold it into the custard mix.
step 5
Layer individual glass bowls with the cream mixture, Oreo crumb and chopped Oreos, followed by another layer of cream and so on until you finish with a layer of the cookie crumbs on top. Finish with a few gummy worms, if you like. Best eaten immediately.
