Yummy and simple to make.. though it was a little too rich for my tastes. I doubled up on the called for oreo crust(And I'm glad I did in the end because the presentation was much nicer when it was cut up since the crust held together instead of crumbling apart.) I will probably make this again but mayhaps use a graham cracker crust instead.

I have made this recipe a lot of time and I just love it, you can add what you like or take away what you don't like,( and if you know what you are doing it still come out good.)

This is a semi rich, very creamy desert that is not too filling but sweet enough to satisfy
