Creamy Oreo Pie

My aunt  was telling me about their Thanksgiving lunch and she mentioned about the Oreo Pie that they had for dessert. It was made by her daughter - my cousin, Aswathi ; making desserts being one of her many talents. This was the first time I was hearing about an Oreo pie, though I knew about using Oreos to make cheesecakes. On my request she shared the recipe with me - to be shared with all of you.  This is a no-bake recipe, so easy to put together. This can be easily made even by those budding cooks. And the final product is guaranteed to be delicious. 

This can also be made as a single big pie in a 9" pan, in which case the only change you may need to make is to double the ingredients.

Hope you will all enjoy this as we did.
Thank you my dear sis for sharing this wonderful recipe. Looking forward to more such delicious contributions from you.

Ingredients

4-ounce whipped cream/cool whip(about 1 cup)

1/2 package Oreo cookies (about 20 cookies)

1/2 a  package of cream cheese,4-ounce softened

1/6 cup sugar

1/8 cup butter (1/4 stick), melted

4 individual cups/bowls

Method:

Crush 12 Oreo cookies in your food processor. (You can also put them in a ziplock bag and smash them).

In a  bowl, mix the crushed Oreos with melted butter. This is the bottom layer (crust). Divide the crust evenly among your 4 cups. Press the cookie crumbs down firmly.

Crush 6 more cookies and set aside.

In your food processor, or with your mixer, combine softened cream cheese with sugar. Mix until light and fluffy.

By hand, mix in whipped cream or cool whip, and the 6 crushed cookies . When everything is mixed well, divide the mixture among the 4 cups.

Crush the remaining cookies, or cut them in half to garnish each cup.

Allow the Oreo Pie Cups to rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. Enjoy!
