Chocolate Angel Food Cake

Something light amidst all the heavy food and desserts - dust with confectioners sugar or a glaze and good to go!

Can I have the recipe for the oreo pudding pie? That sounds great!

ingredients:
-approx 29 oreo cookies
-1/2 stick unsalted butter, softened (i use salted and it's always delish)
-1 box EACH of chocolate and vanilla instant pudding and pie mix
-1 2/3 cups milk
-1 cup sour cream
-1 8oz container cool whip, thawed

to make crust: crush 14 of the oreos in a food processer until finely crushed. add softened butter and blend. press into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. take 14 oreos and place around the pie plate, standing up to make edges of crust. refrigerate while preparing filling.
to make filling: combine both pudding mixes with sour cream and milk and beat with mixer until blended and thickened. add 1/2 of the cool whip into filling and blend with spoon. pour filling into prepared crust, swirl decoratively. cover with plastic and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
before serving: top pie with remaining cool whip. swirl decoratively. crumble remaining oreo over top of pie
*sometimes instead of oreo crumbles on top, i use choclate sprinkles or garnish with sliced strawberries.
