Oreo Double Creme Cocoa Sandwich Cookies with Vanilla Flavour Biscuits Pack, 157g
Nothing new has been added here. Same disc, same creme, different ratio, which makes this the clearest test there is of what you actually like about an Oreo. If the answer is the filling, this is straightforwardly the better pack and you will know within one biscuit. If the answer is the dry dark disc, you have just bought a smaller share of it. More creme also means it eats slower and sweeter, and whatever is in the cup beside it has to work harder than it would with the standard pack, because there is less dryness left in the biscuit to do that job. Unsweetened, then, whatever it is. Contains wheat; check the pack for milk before it goes into a shared lunchbox.
Oreo Double Creme Cocoa Sandwich Cookies with Vanilla Flavour Biscuits Pack, in brief.
Oreo Double Creme is the sandwich biscuit with the filling doubled, two cocoa discs around twice the usual vanilla-flavour creme, one hundred and fifty-seven grams to the pack, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as the filling-led half of the Oreo fork.
Doubling the creme inverts the balance: the filling becomes the body of the biscuit and the cocoa discs become the wrapper, so it is sweeter, softer and slower to clear than a standard bar. It twists far better, which is the practical reason to buy it. Ten minutes in the fridge firms the filling and takes the edge off the sweetness.
Oreo Double Creme is the same sandwich biscuit with the filling doubled: two cocoa discs with a vanilla-flavour creme between them, and twice as much of it as the standard bar carries. One hundred and fifty-seven grams to the pack. Everything interesting about this product is a question of ratio rather than ingredients, because the discs have not changed and the creme has.
That ratio matters more than it sounds. In a standard Oreo the two cocoa discs dominate, and what you taste first is a dry, faintly bitter cocoa biscuit with a sweet line running through the middle of it. Double the filling and the balance inverts. The creme becomes the body of the biscuit and the discs become the wrapper, which makes the whole thing sweeter, softer under the teeth and slower to clear. Whether that is an improvement is entirely a matter of taste, and it is the only reason both versions exist.

The Story Behind Oreo
Oreo is an American sandwich biscuit that has become one of the most widely sold biscuits in the world, and the construction has barely changed: two embossed cocoa discs, a creme filling, and a format that invites people to take it apart before eating it. That last part is not an accident. A sandwich biscuit is the only common biscuit with a documented ritual attached to it, and the twist is most of the reason children ask for it by name.
Double Creme is a line extension that plays directly to that ritual. A thicker filling gives more to scrape and separates more cleanly from the discs, so the twist works better than it does on a standard bar. It also, unavoidably, makes a sweet biscuit sweeter.
Oreo's heritage is American; that is brand heritage and not a claim about where this particular pack was made. The ingredient list, the allergen advice, the biscuit count and the net weight must all be read off the current UK pack.

What You Are Actually Buying
- Weight: one hundred and fifty-seven grams.
- Double filling, same discs: the difference is the creme layer and nothing else. If you like the cocoa disc more than the filling, the standard bar is the better choice.
- It twists better: a thicker filling separates more cleanly, which is the practical reason to choose this version if the twist is part of why you buy it.
- Contains gluten: it is a wheat biscuit and is not suitable for a coeliac diet. Everything else belongs to the current pack.
Ideal Serving Conditions
A sandwich biscuit is a temperature-sensitive thing, because the filling is fat-based and the discs are not. Everything below follows from that one fact: cold firms the creme and makes the biscuit read less sweet, warmth softens it until the two halves slide, and a fat-based filling resists water in a way that changes how the biscuit dunks.
The Twist Serve
- Twist, do not pull: hold one disc still and rotate the other. Pulling shears the filling and leaves half of it on each side, which defeats the exercise.
- Why this version twists better: a thicker layer has more of itself to hold on to, so it separates from one disc in a single piece rather than tearing.
- Cold helps: ten minutes in the fridge firms the filling and makes a clean separation far more likely.
- Then eat it properly: the scraped disc is dry and faintly bitter on its own, which is exactly what a very sweet filling needs beside it.
The Cold Serve
- Straight from the fridge: the creme firms, the biscuit snaps rather than flexes, and the whole thing reads noticeably less sweet because cold suppresses sugar perception.
- The argument against it: you lose the soft yielding filling that the Double Creme exists to deliver.
- Our view: try one cold and one from the cupboard out of the same pack; it settles the question for good.
Getting It Right with a Hot Drink
- Pairing: cold milk is the traditional partner and it works. For a hot drink, black coffee or a strong unsweetened tea.
- Avoid: hot chocolate, sweetened lattes and anything with vanilla syrup in it. You simply double the sweetness and taste neither.
- Dunking: it dunks in milk far better than in tea. The filling is fat-based and repels water, so the discs soften and the creme does not, which is a strange thing in a hot cup and a pleasant one in a cold glass.
- Storage: cool, dry and closed. Warmth is the enemy: a warm sandwich slides apart in the hand and the discs pick up a dull surface.
- Best with: a glass of cold milk, a black coffee, a lunchbox, or a bowl of ice cream that wants something crushed over it.

The taste profile
How does it compare
Oreo Double Creme Cocoa Sandwich Cookies with Vanilla Flavour Biscuits Pack, 157g brings its own sugar and its own colour to anything you build with it, and the doubled filling behaves differently from a standard bar once it is warm or crushed. Six builds below cover the cold milk serve, a crushed base, a milkshake, fridge squares, an ice cream stir-through and a coffee affogato.
Made with this tea
The Cold Milk Serve
How to make The Cold Milk Serve with Oreo Double Creme.
- 3 biscuits Oreo Double Creme
- 1 glass cold whole milk
- Ice, if the milk is not cold enough
- Chill the milk properly. Cold is doing half the work here, because it firms the filling and cuts the sweetness.
- Twist one biscuit apart first, scrape nothing off, and eat the plain disc on its own so you can taste what the cocoa is contributing.
- Dunk the rest whole for three seconds. The discs soften, the fat-based filling does not, and the biscuit holds together.
- Finish the milk. It will have taken up cocoa from the discs, which is the best part of the exercise.
What you'll end up with: The pairing the biscuit was designed around, and the only dunk this product is genuinely good at.
Crushed Oreo Cheesecake Base
How to make Crushed Oreo Cheesecake Base with Oreo Double Creme.
- 150g Oreo Double Creme, filling and all
- 50g melted butter
- Crush the biscuits whole, filling included. The creme acts as part of the binder, which is why this base needs much less butter than a digestive base does.
- Stir in the melted butter a little at a time and stop as soon as the crumb holds its shape when pressed.
- Press into a lined 20cm tin and chill for two hours.
- Keep it cold until you serve. A warm Oreo base softens faster than a digestive one because of the fat in the filling.
What you'll end up with: A dark, dense base that sets firmer than a digestive crumb and needs far less butter to do it.
Double Creme Milkshake
How to make Double Creme Milkshake with Oreo Double Creme.
- 6 biscuits
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 200ml cold milk
- Whipped cream to finish
- Blitz four biscuits with the ice cream and milk until smooth.
- Crush the remaining two coarsely by hand and stir them through at the end, so there is still something to chew.
- Pour into tall glasses and top with whipped cream.
- Serve straight away, before the crushed biscuit softens into the shake.
What you'll end up with: A shake with texture left in it, which is the one thing most blended versions lose.
Oreo Fridge Squares
How to make Oreo Fridge Squares with Oreo Double Creme.
- 150g biscuits, halved not crushed
- 100g butter
- 3 tablespoons golden syrup
- 300g milk chocolate
- Halve the biscuits rather than crushing them. Whole halves keep the white filling visible in the set slab, which is the reason to use this biscuit here.
- Melt the butter, syrup and chocolate together over a low heat and take it off before it catches.
- Fold the biscuit halves through gently so they stay intact.
- Press into a lined tin, chill for three hours and cut into twelve.
What you'll end up with: A tray bake with a visible black-and-white cross-section, which is most of why anybody makes it.
Stirred Through Ice Cream
How to make Stirred Through Ice Cream with Oreo Double Creme.
- 8 biscuits, roughly broken
- 500ml vanilla ice cream, softened
- Soften the ice cream for ten minutes until it takes a spoon easily.
- Break the biscuits into large pieces rather than crumbs. Crumbs disappear; pieces stay crunchy for a day or two.
- Fold them through in two passes so the pieces stay distributed rather than sinking.
- Refreeze for four hours and eat within two days, after which the biscuit softens.
What you'll end up with: The classic, made properly: large pieces, folded twice, eaten quickly.
Coffee Affogato with Crushed Oreo
How to make Coffee Affogato with Crushed Oreo with Oreo Double Creme.
- 2 biscuits, crushed
- 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 2 shots hot espresso
- Set a scoop of vanilla ice cream in each bowl.
- Crush one biscuit over each, filling and all.
- Pour a hot espresso over at the table and eat it immediately.
- Keep the coffee unsweetened. The biscuit and the ice cream have supplied all the sugar this needs.
What you'll end up with: Bitter coffee against a very sweet biscuit, which is the balance the product does not manage on its own.
