Add a few drops of yellow food coloring into one of the small frosting bowls. Add quite a bit of red food coloring into the other small frosting bowl. It took almost a full small bottle of red food coloring to achieve the color I wanted, so make sure you have plenty.

Separate Oreo Cookies

Separate Oreo cookies. The only part you will need is one side and cream frosting. The cookie will represent the burger patty, and the frosting will be your onion.

Lay Vanilla Wafers Out

Start laying out vanilla wafers so that the flat side is pointing upwards.

Attach Burger Patty

Put a small dollop of any colored frosting on top of the vanilla wafer. This helps keep the burger patty in place. Place the Oreo cookie, frosting side up, on top of the frosted vanilla wafer.

Add Ketchup

Swirl the red frosting on top of the white Oreo frosting. This represents the ketchup part of the hamburger.

Sprinkle the green dyed coconut on top of the red frosted Oreo cookie. This represents the lettuce part of your hamburger.

Add Mustard

Top Bun

Add another vanilla wafer on top, flat side facing down. This represents the top bun of your hamburger. Make sure to press down slightly to help bring the hamburger all together.

Help Adhere Seeds

To help the seeds stick, you will need to use a little water or egg whites. Using your finger, dip into solution and gently rub on top.

Sprinkle Sesame Seeds

While top is still a little damp, sprinkle sesame seeds. This will help your top bun look more realistic. They don't hold much flavor and is mostly just for looks.

Wait at Least an Hour and Enjoy!

I usually like to wait at least an hour before serving these to make sure everything has settled together. Enjoy!
