I love oatmeal desserts. Ben & Jerry’s Oat of This Swirled ice cream flavor has been my favorite since it came out. I often make oatmeal cream pie sandwich cookies but you have to make a ton of cookies and then end up with half when you sandwich them together.
I decided to invent the oatmeal cream pie cookie cup and I am very happy with the results. This recipe is super easy to make and the cookies are very filling. I promise to type up the mini version soon!
With the holidays just around the corner, I wanted to attempt a dessert that would blow the socks off friends and family. The piecaken to the rescue!! Similar to the turducken, a piecaken is made by baking a pie inside a cake – creating the best of both worlds.
I have attempted this recipe twice. The first trial was a miserable failure, the second pretty good. With a third attempt, I’m sure my recipe would be perfected but I wanted to get these instructions to you in case you wanted to give it a try for this Thanksgiving. Below I’ll fill you in on my tips and tricks for creating a piecaken, as well include some cheater versions that will save you a lot of time. I’ve included the recipe I made up but please note it is not perfected yet but I do explain what I would do to improve it. Happy baking!
