When it comes to pie, a homemade crust is where it’s at.
Whether that’s a graham cracker, flaky butter crust, or this Oreo cookie crust.
Homemade rules all. And you will see just how easy it is to make your own. You’ll be skipping by those pre-made crusts in the grocery store after this tutorial and whipping up your own that is 1000 times better!
How To Make This Oreo Cookie Crust – Step By Step
To make this Oreo cookie crust you need 1 package (14.3 oz) of Oreos, powdered sugar, and melted butter.
Start by placing your cookies into a food processor and process until the cookies have turned into crumbs.
If you don’t have a food processor, you can put the cookies into a plastic bag and using a rolling pin to smash them into crumbs!
Note: You do NOT need to remove the filling from the Oreos!
Then add your powdered sugar and melted butter and pulse to combine.
Then all you need to do is press the crumbs into your pie plate and up the sides.
Pro Tip: Use the bottom of a measuring cup to make quick easy work of this!
Then chill the crust for at least 30 minutes before filling! And that’s it!
Tips For Making This Oreo Crust
- Do not remove the filling from the cookies. That is just more work, wasteful, and the filling adds flavor! So use the whole cookie.
- Use your food processor for the fastest way to get this done. If you don’t have it, throw your cookies in a zip-loc bag and use a rolling pin to smash those cookies into fine crumbs.
- Use the bottom of a measuring cup to easily press the crumbs into your pie plate.
Do I Need To Bake This Crust?
Nope! This is a no bake recipe. Just simply chill the crust for 30 minutes before filling.
If you want a crispier crust then you can bake the crust at 350°F for 8-10 minutes.
Why Type Of Oreos Should I Use?
Any kind! I used regular Oreos, but double stuff, or any flavor variety would work.
Get creative…sky’s the limit here!
Do I Need To Use A Pie Plate?
Nope! You can press these cookie crumbs into a 9-inch pie plate, 9-inch cheesecake pan, or a 9-inch square pan to make bars with this crust.
