Today is our son's birthday. Every year he is so excited to celebrate his special day. One year his home manager brought this salad for his birthday and it's been a favorite of his ever since. His eyes will light up when he sees this bowlful arriving at the party. Actually I find this is more of a dessert but it's called a salad. Fruit can be added if desired. You would add fruit at the same time as the cookies. This recipe is adapted from Kraft's website.
- 4 cups milk
- 2 - large packages instant vanilla pudding
- 2 - 1 litre container of whipped topping
- 2 packages Oreo cookies, chopped in coarse pieces.
- Combine milk and both packages of pudding in a large bowl. Whisk until pudding sets up.
- Stir in whipped topping until well combined.
- Chop cookies into coarse pieces. Put a few chopped cookies aside to decorate the top.
- Fold cookie pieces into creamed pudding mixture. Cover and chill in refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Serves: 15
I'm with you, Betty. I'd call it a dessert!
ReplyDeleteOur grandchildren's favorite salad! Can't have a family meal without it.
ReplyDeleteJust wondering if if I can use this Oreo salad as frosting on cupcakes? Am making cookies and cream cupcakes this coming weekend. I prefer less sugar on cupcake frosting. Will be good for me (diabetic). I am sure, parents will agree with me if I serve their children less sugary treat. Thanks very much.
ReplyDeleteI think it would taste great as a frosting. I hadn't thought of that, thank you for the idea!
Deletethanks very much Ms Betty
