How to Make Cookies & Cream Pie (Oreo)
Create the Oreo Crust: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush about 24 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and smashing them with a rolling pin until they resemble sandy beach vibes.
Melt the Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt ½ cup of unsalted butter until completely liquid. Let it cool slightly before mixing with the cookie crumbs—this prevents any melting mishaps.
Combine Crust Ingredients: Stir together the crushed Oreos and melted butter until all crumbs are evenly coated. Press this mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie pan using your fingers or the bottom of a measuring cup—get those muscles working!
Bake the Crust: Place your crust in the oven and bake for 10 minutes until set. Let it cool completely while you prepare the filling—this will keep things from turning into a gooey mess.
Mix Filling Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat together 8 ounces of softened cream cheese and 1 cup of powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy—think clouds in dessert form. Fold in one container of Cool Whip gently to maintain its airy texture.
Add Crushed Oreos: Finally, stir in about four crushed Oreos into your filling mixture for that delightful cookie surprise within every slice. Pour this luscious filling into your cooled crust and spread evenly with a spatula.
Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate your Cookies & Cream Pie (Oreo) for at least four hours or overnight if you can resist temptation! This allows flavors to meld beautifully and sets everything up perfectly for serving.
When ready to serve, drizzle chocolate syrup over each slice for an added touch of indulgence—your guests will be swooning! Enjoy every bite as memories are created around this delightful treat.
