Halloween Pumpkin Patch Oreo Pie

I came across this recipe in an older magazine tonight and it looked so cute that I had to post it! Cooking time is actually freezing time.

• Ready In: 9 mins
• Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

• 1  pint  Orange sherbet, softened
• 1 (8 ounce) container  whipped topping, thawed

• 9  Oreo cookies, chopped

Directions

1. Place sherbet in a bowl; stir until smooth.
2. Stir in 1/2 of the whipped topping until well blended.

5. Let stand at room temperature 10 minutes before serving.
