Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package (15.5 oz) Oreo cookies
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping
Instructions
- Prepare a 9-inch pie dish or springform pan by setting it aside.
- Place 25 Oreo cookies (about 3/4 of the package) into a food processor and pulse until they become fine, uniform crumbs. If you don't have a food processor, place cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.
- Pour melted butter into the Oreo cookie crumbs and mix thoroughly until the crumbs are completely coated and resemble wet sand.
- Press the Oreo crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the pie dish, creating an even crust. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a measuring cup to compact the crust.
- Place the prepared crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually add powdered sugar to the cream cheese, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated and no lumps remain.
- Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until completely combined and smooth.
- Remove the chilled crust from the refrigerator and pour the cream cheese filling into the Oreo crust, spreading evenly.
- Crush the remaining Oreo cookies and sprinkle them over the top of the pie for decoration.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the pie to set completely.
- Before serving, let the pie sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften slightly. Slice and serve chilled.
Tips
- For the smoothest filling, ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing.
- Use a food processor or a sealed bag with a rolling pin to create uniform Oreo cookie crumbs for the crust.
- Press the crust firmly and evenly to create a solid base that holds together when sliced.
- Chill the pie for at least 4 hours, but overnight is ideal for the best texture and flavor melding.
- For a picture-perfect presentation, use a sharp knife dipped in hot water to create clean, smooth slices.
- If you want extra richness, you can add a drizzle of chocolate sauce or some whipped cream on top before serving.
- Store the pie in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
