How to Make Oreo Pie Crust
You'll simply need 2 ingredients: 24 Oreo cookies and butter.
- Put the cookies in a food processor. If you don't have a food processor, put the Oreos in a freezer Ziploc bag. (image 1)
- Process the Oreos into fine crumbs. If you're using the Ziploc bag method, crush the cookies with a rolling pin. (image 2)
- Mix the Oreo cookie crumbs and the melted butter together. Squeeze a clump of the mixture together; if it falls apart into dry little pieces, add more butter, but if it holds its shape, it's perfect. (image 3)
- Pack the mixture into a 9-inch pie plate. Use the flat bottom of a measuring cup to get an even surface. (image 4)
- It's easier to use a spoon to pack the cookie crumbs around the edges. (image 5)
- Chill in the freezer for 20-30 minutes or in the fridge for 1 hour before using. If you want a baked version, bake the crust at 350°F for 8-10 minutes. Now, you're ready to go! (image 6)
Recipe FAQs
An Oreo pie crust is made of cookie crumbs that are mixed with melted butter to hold them together. The mixture is tightly packed into a pie plate and chilled or baked to firm it up.
Make a paste of 1 part butter to 2 parts flour, then smooth it in the crack to mend the gap. Bake the crust at 375°F for 5-10 minutes, or until the paste is dried out.
It takes about 20 to 22 Oreos to make 1 ½ cups of crumbs. My recipe uses 24 Oreo cookies, so you should have just over 1 ½ cups of cookie crumbs.
You can use either a food processor or a rolling pin to crush the Oreo cookies. There's no need to remove the cream filling before crushing the cookies. Simply blitz whole Oreos in a food processor or crush them in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin.
Yes, you can. Simply cover it with aluminum foil and seal it inside of a freezer zip-top bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.

Easy Oreo Pie Crust
Ingredients
- 24 Oreo cookies, including cream filling
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Crush the cookies in a food processor until they turn into fine crumbs. Do not remove the cream filling from the Oreos.
- Pour the crumbs into a bowl and thoroughly mix in the melted butter. If you squeeze a fistful of the mixture together, it should hold its shape without falling apart. If the mixture is too dry and crumbly, add more melted butter.
- Press the crumbs into a 9-inch pie plate, using a flat-bottomed object like a measuring cup, and a spoon. Make sure the crumbs are firmly packed in an even thickness around the base and sides.
- No Bake Crust: Chill the crust for 20-30 minutes in the freezer or 1 hour in the fridge before using.
- Baked Crust: Bake the crust at 350°F for 8-10 minutes, until crisp; then let it cool on a wire rack.
