Chocolate Pudding Pie

with Oreo cookie crust

Well hello strangers! I am super excited to be back in blogging action. Lots has been going on since my last post. New job, new hours, new tiredness. Regardless I am back with lots to share. Some great dinners and cupcakes coming up.

First I will share with you this SUPER easy dessert. I used boxed pudding which saved lots of time and steps. However if you are feeling a step above Betty Crocker than go ahead and try this pudding recipe.

You can also use a pre-made crust but they are extremely easy to make. All it takes is some cookie crumbs and melted butter and there ya go.

You can also make this slightly healthier by using the reduced sugar and calorie pudding packets with skim milk but be prepared for lack of flavor. I used a regular pudding mix with low fat chocolate milk. Really amps up the chocolate flavor while cutting the fat down a little.

The making of the pie took a little less than 15 minutes. If you don't have a food processor to crush the cookies it might take a tad longer. But beating a bag of cookies is very therapeutic.

It does have to set in the fridge for a few hours so go ahead and make this earlier in the day or the day before you want to enjoy it.
