Oreo Cream Pie

Ingredients

• 1 ready-to-use Oreo cookie crust
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 bar (8 oz) cream cheese softened
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1½ cups chopped Oreo cookies or a little extra is fine!
• additional whipped cream and chopped Oreos for garnish optional

Instructions

• In medium mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy {to avoid lumps make sure cream cheese is really soft or place in microwave for 20 seconds}. Add in vanilla extract and granulated sugar. Beat until combined and creamy.
• In separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. This will take several minutes. 
• Using a rubber spatula, add the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture and gently mix together. Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies and combine.
• Dump into the pie crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours before serving. I prefer to refrigerate overnight. 
• Before serving, garnish with additional whipped cream and crushed Oreos if wanted.
