[NO-BAKE] OREO™ PIE 23 & 24 APRIL 2023
I was perusng a pie recipe page, looking for one I could adapt to an idea I had, when I came across this recipe for Preppy Kitchen's [NO-BAKE] OREO PIE. As I'd mentioned HERE, I didn't think OREOs™ would work as a crust, but I was willing to prove myself wrong . . . I had a Family Pack of ORIGINAL OREOs™ in the pantry (as well as GOLDEN OREOs™, with which I plan to experiment at another time), and cream cheese & heavy whipping cream in the fridge; I made the crust and put it in the freezer while we fed the dogs, then made the filling after that. Pulsing station for CRUST . . . Rather than use a 9" pie pan, which I thought too shallow, I used a 9" cake pan . . . . . . which worked out quite well . . . I modified the recipe to pour the butter into the food processor, rather than use yet ANOTHER bowl to mix the cookies and the butter. A few short pulses mixed it just fine. Pulsing station for FILLING . . . I think I made the OREOs™ for the filling too small; they should've been chopped . . . I'm not fond of large pieces of ANYthing in a pie filling, so it was all good . . . This is now in the refrigerator; tomorrow, I will make the STABILIZED WHIPPED CREAM for the topping. THE NEXT DAY . . . AND IT'S A KEEPER!
THE RECIPES I USED
	The bowl & beaters used for the whipping cream should be in the fridge as you make the crust. I first thought 3/4 c of powdered sugar would be waaaaaay too sweet with the cream from the OREOs™, but it was needed to offset the flavor of the cream cheese.
