Chocolate Oreo dream pie

For the first time as an adult and after many, many years, I have made my favorite dessert as a child— a chocolate dream pie in an Oreo crust.

My mother wouldn’t make a lot of processed desserts when we were growing up, but this is the one. Dream whip mixed with pudding mix and milk, beaten to a fluffy consistency and chilled, in a crust made out of Oreo cookies. My favorite thing to eat in the world as a little kid.

My tastes as an adult don’t run as a sweet as they did when I was a kid, so I’m not a hundred percent sure I’ll like it anymore. But it’s chilling in the fridge now, and I’m excited to try.



I have sampled it now. It’s a LOT, so I can’t exactly inhale it the way I used to when I was little. But it’s very tasty, and even though I’m not a person with a lot of sensory memories, I took a bite and it tasted like a dozen Christmases. 🙂 That made me smile.
