Are Oreos Vegan?
Most Oreos are vegan, with the exception of a few specialty flavors. Despite their creamy vanilla filling, they contain no dairy or eggs. Here's the ingredients listed on the package:
Unbleached enriched flour, sugar, palm and/or canola oil, cocoa, high fructose corn syrup, leavening, corn starch, salt, soy lecithin, vanillin, and unsweetened chocolate.
However, Oreo does state that their cookies may be processed next to products that contain milk, so if that's a concern for you, it's best to avoid them.
How To Make Vegan Oreo Cake
- Grease an 8 inch loose bottom springform pan. Line the bottom of the pan with baking paper. If you use a larger pan, be aware that your cake will come out flatter.
- Blitz 7 ounces of Oreos (for the base) in a food processor. Alternatively, you can put the Oreos in bag, and smash them with a rolling pin. Aim for a fine crumb, but not dust! Add the vegan butter and process until everything is well combined.
- Transfer the Oreos to the springform pan and press them down firmly with your hands until the crust is compressed and solid. Put the pan in the fridge to chill while you make the filling.
- Using a stand mixer or an electric hand held mixer, mix your vegan cream cheese, vegan cream, icing sugar, and vanilla.
- Blitz the Oreos for the filling in the food processor. Stir them into the filling.
- Spoon your filling into the springform pan. Spread it out smoothly with a knife, and put the cake in the fridge to chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- To make the optional topping melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave. Allow the mixture to cool. Pour it over the top of the cake and spread it evenly across the top, allowing some excess to drip over the edges.
- Cut 4 of the Oreos for the topping in half and place them around the edges of the cake.
- Finally, blitz the remaining 2 Oreos in the food processor and sprinkle the crumbs around the edges of the cake.
- Enjoy your vegan Oreo cake!
