Oreo Pie

Difficulty Level: Low (if you don’t mind a mess)

Cook Time: 4 hours (mostly spent waiting, not cooking)

Ingredients

  • 1 seven-year-old with big ideas (or big energy—your call)

  • YouTube binge into desserts no one actually needs

  • 3 simple ingredients: whipped cream, Oreos, butter

  • A healthy scoop of procrastination

Directions

  1. Spend a lazy morning swiping through YouTube with your kid. Spot a three-ingredient Oreo pie and decide you’re all in.

  2. Promise to make it “tomorrow.” Postpone for weeks. Maybe months.

  3. Wake up on Thanksgiving, realize you’ve run out of tomorrows, and finally commit.

  4. Grab the ingredients, make a huge mess, and laugh through it all.

  5. Refrigerate the pie. Wait. Slice. Discover it’s a runny, melty disaster.

  6. Eat it anyway. High-five your kid. Call it a masterpiece.
