Chocolate Cookie Crumble Topping (Printable)

Crunchy chocolate cookie topping with melted butter for sprinkling over ice cream, yogurt, and desserts.

# What You 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 (e.g., hazelnuts or walnuts)
05 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (optional, for a salted finish)

# How-To Steps:

01 - Place the chocolate cookies in a food processor and pulse until you have coarse crumbs. Alternatively, place cookies in a resealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.
02 - Transfer the crumbs to a bowl. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
03 - Stir in any optional add-ins, such as chopped chocolate or nuts, if desired.
04 - Sprinkle generously over your favorite desserts such as ice cream, yogurt, pies, or puddings. Store any leftover crumble in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • Takes literally ten minutes from start to finish and transforms any dessert into something special
  • The buttery crunch combined with rich chocolate creates that perfect sweet and salty moment
02 -
  • The food processor gives you the most consistent texture, but crushing by hand in a bag works surprisingly well
  • Using salted butter instead of unsalted with added sea salt can make the topping overly salty
03 -
  • Let the butter cool slightly before mixing so it doesnt melt any chocolate chips you add
  • If the crumbs feel too dry after adding butter, add just one teaspoon more at a time
