Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using double-stuffed Oreos for the crust. If you want a lighter alternative, try substituting the margarine with unsalted butter or a plant-based butter. You can also replace Pet milk with evaporated milk for a creamier texture. To save time, use store-bought whipped topping instead of making your own.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Girdle Buster Pie with a drizzle of chocolate syrup or a sprinkle of crushed Oreos on top for added texture. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a side of fresh berries. For a fun twist, try serving it alongside a warm dessert like Sheet Brownies for a delightful dessert spread.
