Texas Dirt (banana pie with crushed Oreos)

“Texas Dirt” is a name that has been attached to several culinary creations. “Texas Dirt” usually is a banana pie served in a flowerplot of crushed Oreo cookies, but “Texas Dirt” can mean the chocolate sandwich cookies themselves.

Texas Dirt, a banana pudding pie with crushed Oreos, is said to be a descendent of the sugar cream pie. Further distillations can be found as buttermilk pie (or magnolia pie), sour cream pie and banana cream pie. Even pecan pie is thought to descend from this Midwestern favorite.
