Nothing fancy but the results were tasty.

Method

2. Combine the Oreo crumbs and the butter together and mix thoroughly.
3. Pour the mixture into a butter/sprayed 9 inch pie plate and push down to compact and make the crust.
4. Bake for 10 minutes in the oven and remove.  Let the crust cool
5. Follow the instructions on the pudding package and let the pudding rest.
6. In a large bowl, combine the icing sugar and heavy cream and beat on high using electric beaters for 2 minutes, or until your desired consistency is met.

Zesty Tip:  Just before cutting you could set it in the freezer for about an hour – will make it easier to cut and taste delicious.

Have a great Wednesday and I will see you on Friday.  Cooking a big family dinner tonight so I will likely have something to share for Friday.
