OREO Linzertorte Recipe

Directions

1. Step 01

   Take 10 Oreo Cookies. Crush them until they turn into fine powder. Place them in a large bowl.

2. Step 02

   Add the flour, walnuts, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon. Mix well.

3. Step 03

   Keep cutting the butter into smaller pieces as you stir it into the cookie mixture. Mix until the blend resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Step 04

   Add the egg. Mix until it gets the consistency of soft dough.

5. Step 05

   Make small balls out of the mixture. Press them slightly to make them flat.

6. Step 06

   Tightly wrap the balls in plastic wrap.

7. Step 07

   Refrigerate for 4 hours.

8. Step 08

   Take a 9-inch round pan. Line it with foil. The foil should extend over the sides of the pan. Spray cooking spray on the pan.

9. Step 09

   Divide the cookie dough in half.

10. Step 10

    Transfer the first half into the pan. Press it onto the bottom of the pan.

11. Step 11

    Spread the raspberry jam onto the pan dough. Ensure that there is ¼ inch distance between the jam layer and the edges of the dough.

12. Step 12

    Chop the remaining Oreo Cookies. Sprinkle them over the jam layer.

13. Step 13

    Lightly sprinkle some flour on a surface. Place ½ a cup of the remaining dough onto the surface. Roll it into 2 (12-inch long) ropes. Set aside.

14. Step 14

    Roll the remaining dough into 2 (9-inch) ropes, 4 (8-inch) ropes and 4 (7-inch) ropes.

15. Step 15

    Place one 9-inch rope on the centre of the torte. Place one 8-inch and one 7-inch rope on each side of the 9-inch rope. The ropes on either side should be placed at the same distance from the central rope. Repeat the process with the remaining dough ropes, placing them perpendicular to the ropes already on the cake to resemble a lattice.

16. Step 16

    Place both the 12-inch dough ropes, end to end, around the edges of the pan. Seal the top by pressing both ends together.

17. Step 17

    Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

18. Step 18

    Heat the oven to 180°C. Bake the torte for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centres of the dough ropes comes out clean. Let it cool completely.

19. Step 19

    Use the foil handles to take the torte out of the pan. Drizzle the white decorating icing on top. Oreo Linzertorte is ready!
