You assign university work to the university student? You assign university work to the university student at university? Jail for professors! Jail for professors for one thousand years!

It is very rejuvenating to do something silly just because

“Where, O death, is your victory?   Where, O death, is your sting?”

So is all of Colu going to die now?

what the HECK is Oreo pie??

It occurs to me I have been meaning to put this recipe out for awhile and didn’t, so here it is:

I don't have measurements for this. I've been making it so long I just sort of eyeball based on how many people I'm feeding. Usually, a whole thing of Oreos and most of a bag of marshmallows goes into the filling.

Mega- or Most-Stuf Oreos (don’t skimp on these; you need the filling)

Regular Oreos or Oreo Thins

Marshmallows (mini melt faster)

Heavy cream

Oreo pie crust (chocolate will do in a pinch)

Separate Mega/Most-Stuf cream from the cookies into a saucepan. Set the cookies aside in a large Ziploc

Dump marshmallows and cream into the saucepan. LESS IS MORE with the cream. You can always add as needed. Too little, however, and the pie will turn into tar.

Turn the heat on low and stir, stir, stir until all the marshmallows are melted. Don’t stop stirring or the mixture will burn.

Let the filling set in the fridge for a few hours. If you’re pressed for time you can let it set in the freezer BUT watch carefully to make sure it doesn't freeze.

When the filling is set, crush the leftover Oreo cookies in the bag and add them to the mix. Don't be shy. Aim for the filling to be gray rather than black and white. Break a few regular Oreos into quarters and throw in for extra crunch.

OPTIONAL: Depending on what texture you want, whip a cup of heavy cream and add to the filling. This makes it lighter, but you can leave it out if you want a denser filling.

Pour into Oreo pie crust and garnish with whipped cream and yet more Oreos. Or just serve it out of the bowl. I call this iteration "Thundercloud Pudding."

This will keep in the fridge for weeks since there's nothing organic in it to spoil, but the cookies lose their crunch after a couple of days.

Note: Gluten-free friends rejoice as you can make this with GF Oreos. You will need A LOT OF THEM as even the Double-Stuf GF do not have as much cream as regular Double-Stuf.
