Indulge in a deliciously irresistible Oreo pie crust with a classic blend of chocolatey Oreo cookies and buttery goodness, this homemade crust adds a perfect touch of sweetness to any pie filling.
ingredient
- 24 oreo cookies
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Directions
- Heat the Oven – Set the oven rack to the middle position. Heat to 350ºF (177ºC).
- Crush the Cookies – Add the Oreos (with filling) to a food processor. Pulse until a fine crumb forms, about 15 to 20 pulses. Alternatively, add the cookies to a large resealable plastic bag. Use a rolling pin to crush into a fine crumb.
- Add the Butter – Measure out 2 cups of packed cookie crumbs (250 grams) and place them in a large bowl. Add the melted butter and stir to combine. The mixture will feel like wet sand.
- Shape the Crust – Add the cookie mixture to a 9-inch pie plate, or desired-sized pan. Press the crumbs evenly into the bottom and sides. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to pack down the bottom. Use the bottom of a spoon to press and smooth the crumbs into the sides and bottom edges of the pan. Flatten the top edge of the crust with your fingertips.
- Bake the Crust – For a baked dessert, bake for 8 to 10 minutes. For a no-bake pie filling, bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
