temperature.

positioned 1/2 of the oreos within the food processor and pulse until you've got oreo crumbs. add the other 1/2 of the oreos to the food processor and pulse again, till all the oreos are nice crumbs.

as soon as the cream cheese is tender, blend the oreos and cream cheese collectively, ensuring the aggregate is very well combined.
