Ingredients
- 24 Oreo cookies
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the Cookies: Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they are finely crushed into crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, place the cookies in a resealable plastic bag and crush them using a rolling pin.
- Mix with Butter: Transfer the cookie crumbs to a medium mixing bowl and add the melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
- Form the Crust: Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan, using the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to compact it firmly and evenly.
- Chill or Bake: For a no-bake crust, place the pie pan in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set before filling. For a baked crust, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 8-10 minutes. Allow the crust to cool completely before filling.
- Fill and Serve: Once the crust is set or baked and cooled, fill it with your desired filling, such as cheesecake, pudding, or ice cream.
This Oreo Pie Crust is a versatile and flavorful option that complements a variety of fillings, making it an ideal choice for all your pie-making needs. Enjoy the rich chocolatey flavor and crunchy texture it brings to your desserts!
