Let’s Make it together
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Get ready to create some magic in your kitchen!
Create the Crust: In a food processor, pulse Oreos until finely crushed. Mix in melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Press this mixture into mini pie tins firmly—think about building your dream sandcastle.
Bake the Crusts: Place the crusts in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes until they firm up slightly. Keep an eye on them; they should smell amazing but not burn!
Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar while mixing until well combined; this should be super easy if you’re using an electric mixer.
Add Whipped Topping: Gently fold in whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. Be careful not to deflate it; we want fluffy pies here!
Fill the Crusts: Spoon your luscious filling into each cooled crust evenly. Don’t worry about being perfect—it’s all going to taste wonderful anyway!
Add Fruit Toppings: Top each mini pie with colorful strawberries and blueberries. Arrange them artistically or just toss them on there—whatever feels right!
Chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours before serving so they set perfectly. Trust me; patience is key here!
