Forget store-bought! This Oreo Cookie Crust uses crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter to create the perfect Oreo crust. The crust is popped into the oven for a quick bake to set the crumbs, and then it’s ready to use for your favorite desserts that need an extra layer of indulgence.
Easy Oreo Pie Cookie Recipe
This is the easiest cookie crumb crust you’ll ever make. 2 simple ingredients and you have the perfect chocolate canvas for no-bake pies, cheesecakes, or any recipes that use a graham cracker crust.
All you have to do is crush the Oreos into a fine texture using a food processor or rolling pin. No, you don’t have to remove the filling, it just gets crushed up with the cookies. Then, pour in melted butter and stir to combine.
While you could stop there, this chocolate pie crust will stick better to the pie if you bake it for just a few minutes. Once the crust cools, it’s ready to use!
Seriously, it doesn’t get much easier! If it seems like too much chocolate for your filling, then try using a pecan nut crust instead.
This Oreo crust recipe is the perfect way to add a rich chocolate flavor to your favorite desserts. It’s my go-to crust for this no-bake turtle pie and this creamy peanut butter pie. It works great for desserts that need a just a little chocolate.
Why You Have to Make This Recipe
- It’s ridiculously easy: You only need 2 ingredients to make it, so there’s no excuse!
- Versatile: You can use any flavor of Oreo you like.
- Rich chocolate flavor: This dessert crust provides the perfect chocolate flavor that pairs well with any of your favorite pies.
You Need Only 2 Ingredients
- Whole Oreo cookies: We’re crushing Oreo cookies to make crumbs. Use regular Oreos, not the Double Stuf Oreos, as the extra cream filling can make the crust too greasy.
- Butter: Melted unsalted butter is what binds the Oreo crumbs together to make the crust.
How to Make an Oreo Cookie Crust
Step One: Prep the Pie Plate
Lightly butter your pie plate so the crust comes out easier.
Step Two: Make the Crust Mixture
Step Three: Shape the Crust
Use the bottom of a measuring cup to pack it down firmly.
Step Four: Bake and Cool
Bake the crust until it’s set, then let it cool completely on a wire rack before using it for your pie. If you don’t want to bake it, at least refrigerate it for 30 minutes before filling.
Pro Tips and Customizations
- Press: Use a flat-bottomed glass cup or the bottom of a measuring cup to press the crust into the pie dish.
- Oreos: If you want a break from chocolate, you can use mint Oreos, peanut butter Oreos, golden Oreos, or whatever flavor you like. Lemon Oreos would be delicious in this creamy lemon curd pie.
- Pan: This recipe will work for an 8×8 square pan, a 9-inch pie plate, or a 9-inch springform pan.
