STRAWBERRY CREAM PIE WITH OREO COOKIE CRUST: National Strawberry Cream Pie Day

Today is Strawberry Cream Pie Day. Strawberries are still fresh in the market, and this Strawberry Cream Pie with Oreo Cookie Crust is easy and delicious. There are lots of recipes out there, but try this one and let me know what you think. I've adapted this recipe from allrecipes.com, and of course, I added a Chocolate Crust--and for this pie an Oreo Crust.
