Recipe - Oreo Fluff Dip

As promised, a new recipe post!

So as we all know, I've been addicting all of my friends to Funfetti dip (and Zombicide. They go well together). We're having another games night with friends tonight and everyone is expecting me to bring Funfetti but awhile ago I decided to pull a fast one on them and bring a different dessert dip. I don't want to get in a funfetti rut, ya know? Can't overplay that card. I also have over 100 pins on my Yummy Sweets Pinterest board and I've barely made any of them. And I love sweets... and I love sharing sweets.

The dessert dip I decided to make instead is this one: Oreo Fluff Dip

How will it go over? Only time will tell... T minus 5 hours, 28 minutes until the party! (At the time of writing at least... but I'm scheduling this post to go up when I'm at the party.)

This recipe also gave me an excuse to use the food processor that my parents got Chris for Christmas. LOVE IT! It's definitely loud but very effective.

Oreo Fluff
 1 box white chocolate instant pudding mix  
(I actually used two 1 oz boxes... The original recipe I had pinned didn't specify an ounce size to the box, so Chris just bought two, and then I found one that specifies 3.4 ounces. I didn't want to go to the store, so I decided to wing it with just 2 ounces.)
2 cups milk  
(I used whole milk. Boyfriend was a dear and picked up stuff for dinner on Tuesday and I had the Oreo fluff makings on the list too, so he got that too and he got whole milk. I had a small glass of it a few days ago... Man! So different from skim milk, which I've had for about the last 20 some odd years)
1 tub Cool Whip (8 oz), room temp 
Mine wasn't room temp but it had been in the fridge for two days, worked fine. I also used Lite Cool Whip.
1 pkg. Oreos, crushed

The pin calls for Doublestuffed but they had no doublestuffed so BF picked up reduced fat.
2 cups mini marshmallows
I used fat free marshmallows -- no just kidding. They're marshmallows! I used normal ones. Be sure not to get colored ones or your dip is going to be weird colors.

1. In a large bowl, mix milk and pudding mix for two minutes.
2. Stir in Cool Whip and crushed Oreos, and mini marshmallows. (Actually, prior to step 1 I used my food processor on pulse to crush the Oreos to nothing. I left some larger chunks but the majority of it became dust. I also used my large kitchen mixer for all of this with the dough hook. It makes everything so much easier.)
Oreo dust!
3. Cover with foil and store in fridge until ready to eat and serve. (I made mine the night before the party so it has a lot of time to chill, cos if it's anything like funfetti, it needs time for all the flavors to meld together.)

I tried it last night. It basically tastes like Oreo pudding. What could be better than that??

I think next time I will hand stir it though, not use my kitchen mixer because I think I might have overmixed it. What do I mean? Well, go look at the picture of the dip in the original pin. So white and fluffy with black Oreo crumbs!

Here's mine.

Not pretty but it is delicious!!
Hmmmmmm.... Pinterest fail? I think just Picture fail.

Will report back later on how it goes over! Man I hope it's good or my friends might mutiny when I show up with no Funfetti....
