Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and that means I’m looking for lots of yummy recipes to make Thanksgiving dinner absolutely perfect. One of the biggest parts of the Thanksgiving dinner is obviously the dessert, and having the absolute perfect pies. Well, we usually like to have a variety of pies at the dessert table to make more people happy and to put on more pounds, because Thanksgiving without a little weight gain aint Thanksgiving at all. When it comes to the pies at our house, you will most likely find the classic pumpkin, a banana cream, pecan (my dad’s favorite), and this year there will be this Oreo chocolate cheesecake pie. I’m excited to share this pie with my family because it was pretty dang amazing.
This Oreo Chocolate Cheesecake Pie is packed with so much flavor, and best of all it has Oreos. WE love Oreos, if you haven’t been able to tell by the amount of Oreo recipes I’ve posted lately. Something else that always makes pies ten times better is the choice of whipped cream that you put on top. This recipe calls for cool whip, but that’s just to make things easier. If you would like to make a homemade whipped cream recipe, then follow this link Homemade Whipped Cream . Homemade whipped cream is my FAVORITE!
So if you’re looking for the most perfect non-traditional pie to share this year at your Thanksgiving dinner, then you’ve come to the right place.
