On Dss request...

Bryan, my younger ds has been pestering me to bake him an oreo choco cake since Teacher's Day. He wanted exactly the same cake I baked for his teachers. As promised, I made him one and he even helped me with the decor.. he was happy over the moon..



Brandon, my elder ds wanted something cool and refreshing... I settled on Lee Lee's mango pudding which i have not make for a long time...

1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup sour cream
2 eggs
6 OREO Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, coarsely chopped (about 3/4 cup), divided
1 OREO Pie Crust
*(for the crust, I used abt 3/4 pkt of the oreo (w/o cream), added 1/4 cup of melted butter)
