Equipment
- Oven
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 1 box Pillsbury pie crust
- 1 jar Jif Swirled Cookies 'n Cream Hazelnut Spread
- 1 tub Cool Whip
- 24 cookies mini Oreo cookies
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. This step is crucial to ensure that your pie crusts bake evenly and become golden brown.
- Roll out the pie crust on a clean surface. Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 12 mini crusts from each round, making a total of 24 pie crusts. The rolling process should be gentle; you want to maintain the integrity of the crust.
- Drape the cut-out pie crusts over the back side of a mini muffin tin. Be sure to space them out so they do not touch each other, ensuring they bake properly.
- Bake the crusts for about 8 to 10 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning, and enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen!
- Let the crusts cool slightly on the muffin tin. This helps them set before you remove them. Carefully take them off the tin and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, it’s time to fill each pie crust! Spoon a teaspoon of Jif's Cookies 'n Cream Hazelnut Spread into each crust. The spread should be smooth and creamy, making it easy to dollop.
- Next, add a dollop of Cool Whip on top of the hazelnut spread in each crust. This fluffy topping complements the rich spread, creating a balanced flavor.
- Finish each pie with a mini Oreo cookie on top. This adds a cute decoration and an extra crunch that everyone will love.
- Keep the Mini Cookies and Cream Hazelnut Pies chilled until you’re ready to serve. This will keep the filling fresh and delicious!
