Ingredients

Scale

Crust Ingredients

  • 24 Oreo cookies (with filling)
  • 5 Tablespoons butter (or unsalted butter)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oreo Crumbs: Place the Oreo cookies with cream filling in a food processor and pulse until you get fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, place the cookies in a Ziploc bag and crush them using a rolling pin until finely ground.
  2. Melt Butter: In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, heat the butter until it is completely melted. This typically takes about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  3. Combine Crumbs and Butter: Pour the Oreo cookie crumbs into the melted butter bowl and mix thoroughly to ensure all crumbs are well-coated and combined evenly.
  4. Form the Crust: Transfer the Oreo mixture into your chosen prepared pan (9-inch pie plate, springform pan, or square pan). Use your hands or the clean bottom of a glass or measuring cup to firmly press and tamp the crumbs tightly into the bottom and sides of the pan to create an even crust layer.
  5. No-Bake Option: For a no-bake crust, refrigerate or freeze the crust for 10-20 minutes before adding your filling. This allows the crust to set and become firm.
  6. Baked Option: For a crunchier crust, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the crust for 8-10 minutes. After baking, let the crust cool completely before adding the filling to maintain its texture and prevent sogginess.

Notes

  • You can use either salted or unsalted butter depending on your preference; unsalted is recommended for better control over saltiness.
  • Use the crust immediately or store it in the refrigerator if you plan to fill it later.
  • The crust works well with cheesecake, cream pies, or mousse desserts.
  • Crush the cookies finely to ensure a smooth, cohesive crust.
  • Adjust baking time slightly if using a pan smaller or larger than 9 inches.
