Description

This Easy Oreo Cookie Crust recipe provides a simple and delicious base for pies or cheesecakes. Made by grinding Oreos into fine crumbs and combining them with melted butter, this crust can be baked or refrigerated to suit your dessert needs. Perfect for no-bake or baked desserts, it’s quick to make and requires minimal ingredients while delivering a rich, chocolatey flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

For 9-inch pie crust (approximate)

  • 24 Oreos (2 cups | 268g Oreo crumbs)
  • 4 tbsp (56g) butter, melted (salted or unsalted)

For larger crust

  • 35 Oreos (3 cups | 403g Oreo crumbs)
  • 5 tbsp (70g) butter, melted (salted or unsalted)

Instructions

  1. Grind the Oreos: Add the Oreos to a food processor or blender and grind them into fine crumbs. There is no need to remove the filling from the Oreos as it adds flavor and helps bind the crust.
  2. Combine crumbs and butter: Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a bowl and mix thoroughly with the melted butter until the mixture is evenly combined and resembles wet sand.
  3. Press into pan: Pour the mixture into your pie pan or springform pan. It’s recommended to grease the pan beforehand to prevent sticking. Press the crust mixture firmly into an even layer on the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
  4. Set the crust: For a no-bake option, refrigerate the crust for at least 30 minutes before adding your filling to allow it to set. For a baked crust, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until it’s firm and slightly crisp. Let it cool before adding the filling.

Notes

  • You do not need to remove the Oreo filling before grinding.
  • Greasing the pan helps prevent the crust from sticking.
  • This crust pairs well with cheesecakes, cream pies, or any no-bake dessert.
  • Adjust the amount of butter slightly to achieve the desired crust texture.
  • If baking, watch the crust carefully to avoid burning since Oreos contain sugar.
