#developedpie Outside the (Little Debbie) Box
Description
This is my entry into the #developedpie assignment.
This mix is meant to mimic Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies.
They might not be a traditional pie but I wasn’t going to make apple or peanut butter pie because everyone else is going to do that.
WF Oats & Cream Cookie is a perfect starting point. The cookies in Little Debbies Oatmeal Cream Pies are super chewy and dark. I used VT Xmas Pudding to help achieve that. It adds that chew that this recipe needs and the spice and raisin notes really help the authenticity. I added TFA Oatmeal Cookie in to boost the Oatmeal note and make sure that it doesn’t get covered up or steep out.
The cream that’s inside of these suckers is fluffy and sticky and it has a slight vanilla note. It reminds me a lot of that Jet Puffed Marshmallow Cream that comes in a jar. I had consider OOO Marshmallow Vanilla because it’s my favorite, but I thought maybe the vanilla would come through too much and turn it into more of a frosting. FA Marshmallow gives me what I need without the vanilla. The FA isn’t fluffy enough by itself. I used OOO whipped cream to fill both of those roles and make the cream filling exactly what it needs to be.
Lastly I sweeten with FW Sweetness at 1%. Recipe
