- I have made this recipe many, many times and always get fabulous reviews. I use Oreo cookies whirled around in a food processor for the crust...no sugar or butter needed. I also leave off the coffee cream because it is simply gilding the lily. Super simple, yet incredibly impressive.
- Thank you for the a-may-zing recipe! This was an awesome dessert & tastes like I need to buy my soul out of purgatory, it's so sinfully good!
