Jenna Beaugh shared this recipe on her blog Eat, live, run and she says it’s her grandmother’s recipes that dates back to the early 40s. Well, this sounds like something that is definitely worth trying. Whether you need a quick dessert for your family or you’re expecting company, this Oreo icebox pie is the perfect choice.
Ingredients:
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 14 Oreo cookies smashed with a mallet or meat tenderizer
- 30 whole marshmallows *not* mini
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- chocolate shavings or chopped dark chocolate
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray a pie tin with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- Combine the oreo cookie crumbs and the melted butter. Press firmly into the pie tin. Bake for 10 minutes then remove and let cool completely (We let it cool on the counter for a moment before sticking it in the freezer while we made the filling).
- To make the filling, combine the marshmallows and the milk in a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently and let the marshmallows and milk melt together. You want to make sure all the marshmallows have melted and there are no lumps.
- Immediately remove the melted marshmallows and let cool for about 20 minutes.
- Whip the cream into soft peaks. Fold the whipped cream into the cooled melted marshmallows and then pour this into the pie crust.
- Place pie in the fridge and let it set for about two hours. Decorate the pie with chocolate shavings or chopped bittersweet chocolate!
