Ingredients

  • 25 reduced-fat Oreo cookies,
  • 3 tablespoons fat-free hot fudge ice cream topping
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted

  • FILLING:
  • 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
  • 1/2 cup cold strong brewed coffee

  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup reduced-fat sour cream
  • 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled
