I think I might be aching for summer. My dessert choices lately have all reflected warmer days and cool treats. Remember the strawberry tart last week? And coming up, we’ll have key lime cookies.
Yet another case in point: Mint Oreo Pie.
This isn’t your normal, run-of-the-mill oreo pie. This is dense, creamy, minty oreo pie. The kind you can’t get enough of.
It was 46 degrees when I left to walk to the Metro this morning. Until it gets be 80, I’ll be eating this and dreaming of Florida.
First, you want to get all your ingredients together. Pretty simple: sugar, whipped cream, cream cheese, mint oreos, and a ready-made pie chocolate pie crust (not pictured).
Crush up the oreos in a food processor. Alternatively, you can release all your life frustrations by placing the cookies in a heavy-duty freezer bag and crushing them up with a rolling pin, meat tenderizer, or other heavy object of choice. I like to leave mine a bit chunky. This way, as you eat the pie, you’ll find heavenly surprises of cookie chunks.
Next, use a stand mixer or hand mixer to blend the whipped cream, cream cheese, and sugar together. This will look like glue. Seriously. Gently mix in your crushed oreos.
Pour the pie filling into the pie crust and smooth it out. Put the pie in the freezer for at least a couple hours. I left mine in overnight.
Let it thaw for about 20 minutes before serving. When you’re ready to showcase your amazingness, top the pie with oreos in whatever fashion you want.
Make your friends very happy.

Lord have mercy! That’s a really dangerous recipe to know! The thing is…I’d make that with good intentions to share it, and about half way through just grab a spoon and have at it!! My kiddos saw this and are begging me to make this one!
