My first attempt at a "healthy-ish" cookie pie for my son's second birthday. The results were...interesting!
Ingredients
1-2 bags of oreo-type chocolate sandwich cookies
4 tbsp butter (1/2 a stick)
2 cups vanilla yogurt
2 cups plain yogurt
whipped cream
Instructions
CRUST:
Put 10 cookies in a thick plastic baggie and seal well. Beat with a large spoon or mallet (kids love this!)
Melt butter in a deep glass or ceramic pie pan in microwave.
Add cookie crumbles, mix thoroughly. Press into bottom and sides of pie pan.
FILLING:
Put 15 more cookies into a thick plastic baggie and beat with a large spoon. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together plain and vanilla yogurt, then mix in cookie crumbs.
Pour into pie pan, on top of crust.
Freeze for 2 hours or until hardened.
TOPPING:
Crush a few more cookies and set aside.
Top with whipped cream, then sprinkle with cookie crumbles.
Add whole cookies for decoration if you like.
Notes
This is a test recipe, and definitely not perfect! My observations after trying it are to: Grind cookies down into a powder for a crust. (They were too thick and chunky from crushing them in a bag, though it was fun!) Use all vanilla yogurt or at least ¾. Use less cookies.
