Creamy Oreo Pie

I'm not sure if you know this about me. I love Oreos. With the kind of passion that is normally reserved for people.

I try to keep an open mind when bookmarking recipes to try, but if it has Oreos in it, or involves cheesecake in any way, it's most likely going in my "Save File." I even have a recipe saved for some crazy Oreo Brownies- just brownies, with an Oreo baked into the middle of them. Which, frankly, would sound disgusting to me if it were any other cookie besides an Oreo.

This pie is... it's indescribable. It's wonderful. And it's so incredibly easy, you'll hardly believe it.

You need this pie in your life.

Your ingredients- yes, this is all of them. Cream cheese, Oreos, butter, Cool Whip, and sugar.

First, crush up 26 of your Oreos. Funny story- look closely at this picture- do you see any blades? That's because there are none. When I turned on the food processor after taking this picture, nothing happened except a loud noise that sounded suspiciously like "Puuuuuuut iiiiin the blaaaaades, stuuuuuupid."

Then, melt your butter and mix it in with the crushed Oreos. Push it into the bottom of a 9 inch pie pan, this is your crust. Bake it for 5-7 minutes- not too long, just long enough. Don't burn it.

Put your crust in the fridge to cool and let's make the filling. Put the cream cheese and sugar into your mixer and beat until smooth and fluffy.

Chop up 9 more Oreos (you can do it by hand, they don't have to be perfect like the crust). Throw in 2 cups of the Cool Whip and mix until combined. (Also, technically you're supposed to this part by hand, but I was a little busy obnoxiously singing and dancing along with Billy Joel's "Big Shot" and I missed that instruction. Didn't affect the pie. I was embarrassed.)

Spoon the mixture into your pie crust and make it look smooth and pretty. You can decorate it like I did, or you can just leave it. Either way, please lick the mixing bowl that your filling was in. It's uh... important to get a sense of.... what your pie is like when it's finished and...

And I'm a total advocate of licking spoons and bowls whenever possible. Let's face it, it's good for your health. Your mental health, that is.

Refrigerate it for at least 2-3 hours, and then try not to eat it all in one sitting all by yourself. Good luck.
