Ingredients
  

  • 22 vanilla sandwich cookies like Golden Oreos
  • 5 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 1 20 oz. can crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 15 oz. can mandarin oranges, drained
  • 3.4 oz. box instant vanilla pudding
  • 1 c. milk
  • 1 8 oz. container whipped topping

Instructions
 

  • Crush your cookies in a food processor until they’re fine.
  • In a bowl, melt the butter and add the cookie crumbs. Combine the cookie crumbs and butter until well mixed. Press the cookie crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, combine the drained crushed pineapple and drained mandarin oranges.
  • In a small bowl, using the electric mixer, mix the vanilla pudding mix and milk until smooth. This mixture will be thick.
  • Add the pudding to the fruit. Fold in the whipped topping. Spoon all the filling into your crust.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Garnish with more oranges and a cherry.

Notes

  • Drain the fruit well: Excess liquid will make the filling runny.
  • Press the crust firmly: A measuring cup helps pack it evenly into the pan.
  • Chill fully: Four hours gives the pie time to set and slice cleanly.
  • Use pineapple juice instead of milk: Adds extra tropical flavor if you prefer.
  • Freeze for later: This pie freezes beautifully for up to 3 months.
