Making a homemade Oreo Pie Crust could not be easier! With just a few simple ingredients this crust is perfect for no-bake pies and cheesecakes!
Now I don't have anything against store bought Oreo pie crusts but this recipe is just so easy why wouldn't you make it yourself at home? This pie crust works beautifully for a variety of no-bake (and baked) pies and cheesecakes. My personal favorite way to use it is in the No Bake Oreo Peanut Butter Pie (seriously, so delicious) but feel free to get creative!

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!
