This homemade Oreo Pie Crust comes together in minutes with just a few simple ingredients. It's rich, chocolatey, and the perfect base for no-bake pies, cheesecakes, and other easy desserts. So much better than store-bought and totally foolproof.
I have nothing against store-bought Oreo pie crusts, but honestly, once you see how quick and easy it is to make your own at home, you'll never go back. With just a few ingredients and a couple of minutes, you can whip up a crust that's fresher, more flavorful, and perfectly customizable to fit your pie dish.
This homemade Oreo Pie Crust works beautifully for all kinds of desserts, whether you're making a creamy no-bake pie, a decadent cheesecake, or even a baked treat. My personal favorite way to use it is in my No Bake Oreo Peanut Butter Pie (seriously, it's dangerously good), but you can easily get creative with different fillings and flavor combinations. It's one of those little kitchen tricks that makes your desserts taste bakery-quality with hardly any extra effort.

Equipment
If you are making a traditional pie you will need a 9 inch pie pan. However, this recipe can also be used for a 10x10 square pan crust or another shaped pan of a similar size.
For crushing the cookies there are really two primary methods.
The first, and probably the easiest, is with a food processor. And this Cuisinart Food Processor is more than up to the task.
If you don't have a food processor you can go with the alternative route of a plastic or silicone bag and a rolling pin.
You will also need a small bowl to melt the butter in. I love these mis en place bowls and use them daily!
Ingredients
- Chocolate cream filled cookies: I know this recipe is literally called Oreo Pie Crust but please feel free to use any brand of chocolate cream filled cookies that you prefer. In all honesty I tend to use these Back to Nature Chocolate & Creme Cookies rather than actual "Oreos" just because I like the ingredients a bit better. But it's totally up to you!
- Unsalted butter: I'm a big fan of Kerrygold Butter
- Salt: A little pinch of salt can go a long way in sweet recipes.
Serving Suggestions
This crust is fabulous is my No-Bake Oreo Peanut Butter Pie. It also works great with chocolate cream pie, no bake cheesecakes and even as a brownie base!
