Desert for Christmas Dinner

For more than 20years,Aunty , myself, and a group of friends, have been producing Mid Year Christmas Dinner. Orginally for a fundraising gimmick, where we fed and entertained 100plus people, to a more orderly 35 in my home. Each year there is the challenge of new dishes to make and try. This is one that proved very popular. OREO MOUSSE PIE CRUST; 2 packets Oreo Biscuits crushed. {350 grams} 75g melted butter. To make the crust, combine the crushed biscuits with the melted butter. Press into a pie plate. Chill in the fridge while making the filling. MOUSSE. 350g cream cheese, 180g sweetened condensed milk, 170 dark chocolate , melted, 1 cup cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla essence, 1pkt Oreo biscuits halved. MOUSSE. Whisk the cream cheese until aoft. Mix in the condensed milk and melted chocolate. In a separate bowl,whisk the cream and vanilla essence, until soft peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture. Pour half of the mixture over the biscuit crust. Place the halved Oreo biscuits on top of the mixture then pour the remaining mixture on top. Refrigerate for 4 hours or until it is set. Serves 8 to 10

I was day dreaming about the mid year Xmas dinner the other day. I think my all time favourite was the one we had at Massey Road where me, Mum and Aunty Glenn performed the Time Warp (again) very dressed up indeed-ie! Myself and an Aussie mate who is in London too were thinking of starting our own mid-year xmas dinners - but with a BBQ. We were both thinking it felt like Christmas time as the weather here is finally getting hotter! Love you two long time...
