Ingredients
Oreo Crust
- 25 Oreo cookies
- 6 Tablespoons salted butter, melted
Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 12 Oreo cookies, chopped
Garnish
- Additional sweetened whipped cream
- Additional Oreo cookies
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Finely crush 25 Oreo cookies using a food processor or by placing them in a large ziplock bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Combine the crushed Oreos with 6 tablespoons of melted salted butter until fully mixed.
- Form and bake the crust: Press the buttery Oreo crumbs firmly into a 9-inch pie plate, compacting the crust up the sides as much as possible. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until the crust is set. Alternatively, for a no-bake version, chill the crust in the freezer for 30 minutes instead of baking. Allow the crust to cool completely after baking.
- Make the filling: Using a hand mixer, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese with 3/4 cup powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, beat 1 cup heavy whipping cream with 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, being careful not to overbeat to avoid turning it into butter.
- Combine filling ingredients: Gently fold the whipped cream and 12 chopped Oreo cookies into the smooth cream cheese mixture, blending evenly without deflating the whipped cream.
- Assemble the pie: Spread the Oreo cream filling evenly into the cooled cookie crust. Cover and chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 3 to 4 hours to allow it to set properly.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, decorate the pie with swirls of additional sweetened whipped cream piped around the edges using a decorative tip, and garnish with Oreo cookie halves for an attractive and tasty finish.
Notes
- For a crunchier crust and richer flavor, baking the crust is recommended, but you can opt for the no-bake method if short on time or to avoid heating the kitchen.
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
- Do not overbeat the whipped cream to prevent it from turning into butter; it should hold stiff peaks but remain light and airy.
- Chilling the pie for at least 3-4 hours is essential for the filling to set properly.
- This pie can be made a day ahead, just store it covered in the refrigerator.
