Notes
- To crush Oreos easily, place them in a sealed plastic bag and use a rolling pin or heavy pan to crush to desired coarseness.
- For best results, use cold milk when preparing pudding to ensure proper thickening.
- If you prefer, substitute whipped topping with homemade whipped cream for a fresher taste.
- Allow the pie to chill thoroughly; this ensures the crust firms up and the layers set nicely for clean slices.
