Kid Friendly Recipe: Oreo Pie

My kids love to help me in the kitchen. Here is a very easy dessert recipe that they love to help make. If you are in a hurry, this can be very easy if you use a ready-made pie crust and whipped cream. But with just a little bit more effort you can make your own crust and whipped cream to improve the taste.

 Ingredients:

• 1 chocolate pie crust--you can buy one at the store or make your own from crushed up chocolate cookies & butter.
• 1 large box of chocolate pudding & pie filling
• 1/2 c. whipped cream
• oreos

Instructions:

1. Prepare the pie crust. If you have a ready-made pie crust you don't need to do anything. If you decide to make your own you can do so as follows:

• Mix 1 and 1/3 c. crushed up chocolate cookies with 1/4 c. melted butter or margarine.
• Press mixture into a pie pan and bake for 8-10 minutes at 375 degrees.

2. Prepare the chocolate pudding/pie filling according to package directions.

3. Pour the chocolate pie filling into the crust and let it chill for 1 hour.

4. Prepare the whipped cream. You can use ready made whipped cream or whip your own as follows:

• Put beaters and a small mixing bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes before you plan on whipping the cream.
• Mix 1/2 c. whipping cream, 1/2 t. vanilla, and 1 T powdered sugar in the chilled bowl
• Whip with beaters until peaks form.

5. Use a spatula to spread whipped cream over the chocolate pie

6. Fill a small ziplock bag with oreos and crush with a hammer. (This is my kids' favorite part!)

7. Pour crushed oreos on top of whipped cream to complete the pie!
