This Strawberry Cream Pie start with an Oreo crust and then filled with a creamy vanilla custard and topped with fresh strawberries. It’s fabulous!
In honor of Pi day last week, I made a pie. . . . A strawberry cream pie with an Oreo crust to be exact, and it was delicious. Possibly one of the best strawberry pies I’ve ever eaten. We were invited to a “Pi(e)” party over the weekend and this is what I took. I put a picture of it on Instagram and over the weekend, so for those that asked for the recipe, here it is.
It’s really simple to make, it just has to chill for several hours so make sure you plan accordingly. I loved the Oreo crust with it, the chocolate & strawberry combination was fantastic. I did try a bite with a few raspberries on it and it was pretty dang delicious too. So pick your berry of choice or go ahead and put both on them, you can’t go wrong either way.
If only you could stick your fork through your computer screen and take a bite. . . you would be in strawberry cream pie heaven!
