Perfect Oreo Pie Crust
It’s SO easy to make an Oreo Crust – and doing it at home means you can make it using any flavor Oreos! I love no bake pies all year long – but especially in summer when my oven isn’t getting turned on. Stop buying pie crusts and make your own with this easy recipe!
Why you’ll love this recipe
- It’s a 2 ingredient Oreo crust!
- You do not have to remove the cream from the Oreos!
- Use ANY flavor Oreo cookie, including a Golden Oreo Crust! Whenever someone says “Oreo Crust” I’m sure you think of the kind made from traditional Oreos. I always think of that one too. I mean, it’s the perfect base for, say, a peanut butter chocolate cream pie. But you can use any flavor you want!
2 Ingredients Needed
- Oreos – Have you ever noticed all the different flavor Oreos out there? I mean, I love the traditional chocolate but if I must admit it…I like the Golden Oreos better. I especially like them as a pie crust.
- Unsalted Butter – You can swap salted if that’s what you have.
How to make Oreo Pie Crust
- Crush your whole Oreo cookies using a food processor. You do not have to remove the cream center! Don’t have a food processor? You can roll the cookies in a large bag using a rolling pin, however you want a fine crumb so they stick together. Rolling isn’t as great at it as the food processor, so I recommend using it.
- Melt your butter in a medium bowl.
- Add the cookie crumbs to the melted butter and stir with a fork. The fork helps the butter mix into the cookies without too much clumping.
- Press the crumbs into a 9-inch pie plate or springform pan, depending on the recipe you’re using. This will also work as a thinner crust in a 10-inch pie plate or a 9-inch deep dish pie pan, but don’t use anything smaller than a 9-inch.
Variations
- Use peanut butter Oreos to make a peanut butter pie.
- Mint Chip Oreos are perfect for no bake cheesecake!
- Lemon Oreos would be delicious with a Lemon Cheesecake

Perfect Oreo Cookie Crust Recipe
Equipment
Ingredients
- 25 (286g) Oreo Cookies your favorite flavor
- 5 tablespoons (70g) unsalted Challenge Butter , melted
Instructions
- Finely crush your cookies. I like to use a food processor for this step, but you can also place the cookies in a plastic bag and roll the sealed bag with a rolling pin. If you’re using a rolling pin, seal the bag but leave about an inch open for air to escape. You’ll have to put some muscle in it to get a fine crush. The crust sticks together best when the cookies are crushed finely.
- NOTE: You do NOT need to remove the filling from the Oreo.
- Stir the cookie crumbs and melted butter together with a fork. Press crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of a 9″ pie plate. Chill until ready to fill.
- For a no-bake pie: chill the crust about 30 minutes before filling, then fill/chill as directed in the recipe.
- For a crunchier no-bake filling pie: bake the crust for 8 minutes at 350°F then cool completely before filling.
- For a filled baked pie: Fill with filling and bake as directed in the recipe.
- This crust can also be pressed into a 9×9 inch pan for pie bars or used as a cheesecake crust in a 9-10″ springform pan.

Thank you for your response! I think itshe going to come out fine. I just baked it for a few extra minutes and cooled and it looked just fine. I have a strawberry swirl cheesecake on top of it now. I’ll confirm the deliciousness as soon as it sets. Thanks again
Hi so I just made your crust and baked it for the time suggested and it looks like mush. There is butter pooling on top. Is this right? Did I mess this up some how?Â
I haven’t had that problem. Did you use real butter or did you use a substitute by any chance? Did you make any changes to the recipe?
Anyone have ideas on why the crust would stick to the pan? I tried it with no spray, and with non-stick spray on a glass pan… but it keeps sticking! HELP!
Trader Joe’s makes an oreo-type cookie that is gluten free and I am thinking of making a cheesecake for a family member who is gluten intolerant with this type of crust. Â Do you think the recipe will work just as well with a gluten-free oreo?
It should! Since I’m not sure how the GF cookies react with the butter, if it’s way, way too greasy you may want to add some more cookie crumbs.
Oreo crust is the best. Â I happened to be like Oreo without filling. Thanks for sharing.
eeee I hope Jordan’s talent show went well-I’m sure she was great!!

First of all, I didn’t know anyone would every remove the cream from an Oreo to make a crust! Wouldn’t that be a shame?! Haha! Oreo crusts are my absolute favorite! Thanks for the tips!Â
P.S. I think schools need that last “fun week” to remind all the kids that school is FUN so they will be excited to return in the fall. So sneaky! 😉Â
