Calories: 1894kcal
Ingredients
- 25 regular Oreo cookies with filling
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously spray a 9 inch pie plate with nonstick cooking spray.
- Using a food processor makes it faster, but a gallon size ziploc and a rolling pin work just as well. Pulse the cookies 5 or 6 times before crushing on the shred speed for a couple of minutes or until the cookies are fine crumbs. Same goes for the ziploc bag and rolling pin, crush until the cookies are fine crumbs. 25 cookies should give you about 2 cups of cookie crumbs.25 regular Oreo cookies
- Add the cookie crumbs to a medium size mixing bowl. Stir in the melted butter until the crumbs are completely coated and well incorporated.5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Pour the coated crumbs into the prepared pie plate. Use the bottom of a mixing cup to evenly press the coated crumbs up the sides and on the bottom of the pie plate.
- Bake for 10 minutes and then allow the crust to completely cool before filling.
Notes
Storage :
- In The Refrigerator: You can store the baked pie crust covered with plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 7 days.
- In The Freezer: You can freeze the pie crust covered with plastic wrap and then heavy duty aluminum foil for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before filling.
- The fastest way to crush your Oreo cookies is in a blender or food processor but a gallon size ziploc and a rolling pin work just as well. Make sure you crush the whole Oreo cookies and do not remove the cream filling! Crush until the cookies are fine crumbs. 25 cookies should give you about 2 cups of cookie crumbs.
- Use a flat-bottomed dry measuring cup to gently press and pack the cookie crumbs into the bottom and sides of the pie dish. This will create a uniform thickness for your chocolate cookie crust.
- You can substitute 2 cups of store-bought Oreo cookie crumbs in place of processing your own. They can be found near the baking section of most grocery stores. If you use packaged cookie crumbs, I recommend adding 2 tablespoons of granulated or brown sugar to the crumbs when adding the butter.
