What Kind of Crust Works Best for Oreo Pie?
This recipe doesn’t include a crust, but there are a few easy options that pair perfectly with the creamy Oreo filling:
- Store-bought Oreo crust: This is the easiest route. Most grocery stores carry pre-made Oreo crusts in the baking aisle. Just unwrap and fill.
- Homemade Oreo crust: Crush 24 Oreos and mix with 5 tablespoons of melted butter. Press into a 9-inch pie pan and chill for 15 minutes before filling.
- Graham cracker crust: Not traditional, but still delicious. If you want to tone down the chocolate a bit, this is a good option.
- Chocolate cookie crust: If you don’t have Oreos on hand, any crisp chocolate cookie will work in a similar way.
Basically, anything crunchy and buttery will play nicely here, so go with what you like or have on hand.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s everything you need to make this easy no bake Oreo pie:
- 1 block cream cheese (8 oz), softened
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 20 Oreo cookies, crushed (plus more for topping if you want)
You can crush the Oreos by hand or pulse them in a food processor. A mix of fine crumbs and some larger chunks adds great texture to the pie.
How to Make No Bake Oreo Pie
- Beat the base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and fluffy. This works best with an electric mixer, but a strong arm and a whisk will do in a pinch.
- Sweeten it up: Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. Then fold the whipped cream gently into the cream cheese mixture until it’s smooth and creamy.
- Add the Oreos: Stir in the crushed Oreo cookies. Make sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the filling.
- Fill the crust: Spoon the filling into your prepared crust and smooth out the top with a spatula.
- Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until set. Overnight is even better if you have the time.
- Decorate: Top with more crushed Oreos, whipped cream, or even whole cookies if you’re feeling fancy.
FAQs
Can I change up this no bake Oreo pie recipe? What are some good add-ins or swaps?
Absolutely! One of the best things about this cookies and cream pie is how customizable it is. You can change the flavor, texture, or overall vibe just by switching up a few ingredients. Here are some ideas:
- Use flavored Oreos: Mint, peanut butter, birthday cake, or golden Oreos all work well and completely change the flavor of the pie.
- Add peanut butter: Mix a few tablespoons of creamy peanut butter into the filling for a chocolate-peanut butter twist.
- Make it chocolatey: Stir in a couple tablespoons of cocoa powder for a deeper chocolate flavor, or drizzle the top with chocolate ganache before serving.
- Add texture: Fold in mini chocolate chips, crushed candy bars, or even chopped nuts for a bit of crunch.
- Use Cool Whip: If you don’t have heavy cream, an 8 oz tub of Cool Whip makes a good substitute and saves a step since you don’t need to whip it yourself.
- Try a different crust: As mentioned above, you can use graham crackers, chocolate wafer cookies, or even a pretzel crust for a sweet-salty contrast.
Feel free to play around with what you like. This pie is super forgiving and always tastes amazing, no matter how you tweak it.
How long does Oreo pie last in the fridge?
This pie will keep well in the fridge for about 4 to 5 days. Just make sure it’s covered tightly with plastic wrap or stored in an airtight container. The crust may soften a little over time, but the filling stays creamy and delicious. You can also freeze slices individually for up to a month. Let them thaw in the fridge for a few hours before serving.
Do I have to chill it for the full 4 hours?
It really helps if you do. The filling needs time to firm up so that it slices cleanly and holds its shape. If you're in a rush, you could pop it in the freezer for about 1.5 to 2 hours instead, but don’t leave it too long or it’ll freeze solid. Give it time to soften a little at room temp before cutting into it if that happens.
