To make the pie crust from scratch, use a food processor and pulse to crush the Oreos into a powder without any chunks or pieces. If you don’t have a food processor, you can place the Oreo cookies in a large Ziploc bag, and crush with a meat tenderizer or rolling pin.
Next, in a large bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with the melted butter. Use a fork, small rubber spatula, or wooden spoon to stir ingredients together until the butter makes the cookie crumble crumb mixture soggy. It should have a slightly wet sand appearance.
Pour the mixture into an 8- or 9-inch pie pan or tart pan. Press firmly and allow the crust to chill while preparing the filling. Chilling will help the butter cool which makes the crust set.
Oreo Cream Pie Filling Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, on medium speed, use an electric mixer, or a stand mixer, using the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla, until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the whipped cream and stir into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
Next, fold in the crushed Oreos, gently stirring throughout the filling.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Place in the refrigerator and let the pie chill to set for at least 2 hours. The pie can also be made ahead and chilled overnight, until ready to serve.
To serve this pie, cut into slices and enjoy! This pie is best when served cold.
Notes
Tips:
For an extra special treat, top your slice of pie with a scoop of ice cream. To make it even more decadent, drizzle with melted chocolate for a rich chocolaty flavor.
Garnish the pie with whole or crushed cookies and whipping cream or drizzle with chocolate.
Using a pre-made Oreo pie crust is a little faster, because you can avoid extra prep time and chill time. I personally feel the pre-made pie crust doesn’t have the same texture as a homemade crust, but when you need a quick dessert, it does the trick.
