Did you know that Oreos are vegan?? It's a little unsettling...but apparently they are, so I wanted to make a dessert with them. This recipe is super simple, but what is difficult is deciding what kind of ingredients to use. There are many different brands of vegan products, and every grocery store carried different types. I encourage you to try different types and see what your personal preference.
This recipe calls for vegan butter, make sure you get actual vegan butter, and not margarine. I prefer Earth Balance, but I encourage you to find your own preference.
As for the cream cheese, the only kind that my super market carries is made by Galaxy, and I like it. Hopefully, your grocery store has a better selection!
Ingredients
19 cream filled sandwich cookies, divided (I use Oreos)2 tablespoons vegan butter, melted
1 (8 ounce) container vegan cream cheese3/4 cup sugar
1. Crush 15 cookies and place in a pie pan. Add melted vegan butter. Toss crumbs around to coat. Use the back of a spoon to press buttered crumbs on to pie pan to make a crust. Put the crust in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients except the leftover sandwich cookies and mix thoroughly.
3. Spoon into prepared pie pan and set in the freezer for at least 1 hour. Top with additional whipped topping and garnish with additional cookies.
I made this for my extremely picky roommate for his birthday, and he loved it!
