Oreo Cream Pie

 If I had to choose one of my families most requested pies it would be this or my recipe for oreo pudding cake (recipe link coming soon! ;) ) 

My Hubby isn't a huge fan of chocolate (😲I know crazy right! ;) ), but he LOVES anything with oreo or cookies and cream so I came up with this super simple pie for him & it's a favorite every time I make it :) 

Ingredients: 

• Oreo cookie pie crust (either purchase pre-made or crush oreo cookies with a ninja chopper or blender & mix with melted butter and press into pie plate to form the crust)
• 1 package oreo cookie and cream instant pudding mix (*also can use vanilla or white chocolate instant pudding mix, crush oreo cookies into a medium size chunks and mix into pudding before it sets)
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1 package cool whip or non dairy cool whip (I prefer Tru whip or coco-whip for a slight coconut flavor)
• 1 package of Oreo cookies (we like to use double stuff or mint for a minty pie *If we are going for a mint pie I add a drop or 2 of peppermint oil to the oreo cookie and cream pudding mix while I'm mixing it with the milk)  

Directions:

1. Mix pudding mix with 1 1/2 cups milk (* add peppermint or oreo chunks if needed or desired), refrigerate for 5 minutes to set
2. Remove pudding from fridge & mix with 1/2 cup of thawed cool whip or non dairy whip to pudding mix and spread into pie crust.
3. Top pie with remainder of cool whip/non dairy whip and store in refrigerator until ready to serve.
4. Crush oreo pieces into small chunks with a fork or ninja chopper & sprinkle across top of pie

*For Christmas I like to make a peppermint version by adding a drop or two of peppermint essential oil to the pudding mix (Could use peppermint extract instead). For an additional topping I like to crush several candy cane pieces or use one crushed candy cane to sprinkle on the top for an added "holiday" flavor :)

Enjoy!
