Ingredients

For the Oreo Crust

6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted

For the Cookies & Cream Filling

8 ounces (225g) cream cheese, softened
¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1½ cups heavy whipping cream
15 Oreo cookies, roughly crushed

For the Whipped Topping

1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Garnish

6-8 Oreo cookies, crushed
Mini Oreos
Chocolate curls (optional)
Extra whipped cream

Equipment Needed

9-inch pie dish
Food processor
Electric mixer
Mixing bowls
Rubber spatula

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Oreo Crust

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Place the Oreo cookies (including filling) into a food processor.

Pulse until fine crumbs form.

Add melted butter and pulse until combined.

The mixture should resemble wet sand.

Press firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish.

Bake for 8-10 minutes.

Remove and cool completely.

For a completely no-bake version, chill the crust for 30 minutes instead of baking.

Step 2: Prepare the Cream Cheese Base

In a large mixing bowl, beat together:

Softened cream cheese
Granulated sugar

Beat until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Add vanilla extract and mix again.

Step 3: Whip the Cream

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

Do not overwhip.

The cream should hold its shape while remaining smooth.

Step 4: Create the Filling

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.

Mix until fully combined and fluffy.

Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies.

The filling should be thick, creamy, and loaded with cookie pieces.

Step 5: Fill the Pie

Spread the cookies-and-cream filling into the cooled Oreo crust.

Smooth the top with a spatula.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

Step 6: Make the Whipped Topping

Before serving, whip together:

Heavy cream
Powdered sugar
Vanilla extract

Whip until medium-stiff peaks form.

Spread or pipe onto the chilled pie.

Step 7: Decorate

Top with:

Crushed Oreo cookies
Mini Oreos
Chocolate curls
Extra whipped cream swirls

For an elegant bakery-style look, arrange whole Oreos around the edge of the pie.

Step 8: Serve

Slice with a sharp knife.

For clean slices, wipe the knife between cuts.

Serve chilled.

Chef’s Tips

Use Full-Fat Cream Cheese

Full-fat cream cheese creates the richest texture and flavor.

Chill Thoroughly

The pie needs several hours to fully set for neat slices.

Don’t Overmix

Fold ingredients gently to keep the filling light and fluffy.

Crush Oreos by Hand

For larger cookie chunks and more texture, crush some cookies by hand rather than using a food processor.

Make Ahead

This pie actually tastes better after chilling overnight.

Variations

Double Chocolate Oreo Pie

Add:

¼ cup cocoa powder
Chocolate ganache drizzle

for an extra chocolatey version.

Peanut Butter Oreo Pie

Fold ½ cup creamy peanut butter into the filling.

Top with peanut butter drizzle.

Mint Cookies & Cream Pie

Use Mint Oreos and add a few drops of peppermint extract.

Frozen Oreo Pie

Freeze the pie for 3-4 hours and serve semi-frozen like an ice cream pie.

Storage

Refrigerator

Store covered for up to 5 days.

Freezer

Freeze for up to 2 months.

Thaw for 20-30 minutes before serving.
