Oatmeal Cream Pies
These are the oatmeal cream pies of your dreams even if you don’t know it yet. If you are an oatmeal cookie lover you have to try these for sure. They truly get special once the filling is done and they have had some time to chill in the refrigerator. Originally I was going to do a mascarpone filling but the filling flopped so I used cream cheese instead. Now I have a special mascarpone blueberry cheesecake cooling in my refrigerator. I can’t wait to see what I have done with that one.
These are really rich and I think would make fun bite size cream pies. I am going to try them next just because that way I can have 2 and maybe 3 of them with a cup of tea.
