Oreo Pie Crust made fresh, from scratch! This easy homemade Oreo cookie crust will amp up the flavor of your favorite no-bake pie recipes. You never need to buy a store-bought crust again – make my 2 ingredient Oreo Crust Recipe with ANY flavor Oreo cookie!
It’s SO easy to make an Oreo Crust – and doing it at home means you can make it using any flavor Oreos! Stop buying pie crusts and make your own with this easy recipe! This is the most delicious crust out there – it’s my favorite of all the pie crust recipes.
- It’s a 2 ingredient Oreo crust – cookies and butter – such simple ingredients!
- You do not have to remove the cream from the Oreos!
- Use ANY flavor Oreo cookie, including a Golden Oreo Crust!
How to make Oreo Cookie Crust with 2 ingredients
- Oreos – Regular Oreos (not double-stuf Oreos) are best for this recipe
- Unsalted Butter – You can swap salted if that’s what you have.
- You do not need to remove the filling from the Oreos! That’s why I recommend using a food processor; it’s too hard to get a fine crumb using a rolling pin like when you’re making a graham cracker crust (the filling gets all smooshy).
- Don’t worry about weighing or measuring the cookie crumbs or cookies – you need 25 Oreos. That’s it!
- I always like to mix my ingredients together with a fork – I find it creates a more sandy mixture that’s easier to press into my pie plate.
- This recipe can be used for a 9-inch pie plate or up to a 10-inch springform pan.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
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.

What to do with Oreo Pie Crust?
So many dessert possibilities with making your own crust! You can add your favorite fillings but here are some of my favorites:
- No Bake Oreo Pie – the chocolate crust pairs perfectly with the creamy cheesecake filling.
- Jello Pie – mix and match Oreo flavors with your jello flavor.
- Strawberry Pudding Pie – perfect with Golden Oreos.
Step-by-Step Photos
- 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 oreo 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 dish or a 9-inch deep dish pie pan, but don’t use anything smaller than a 9-inch size pan. It will also work in a 10-inch tart pan.
I have a strange question about an Oreo crust. I made one for a Bailey’s Irish Cream cheesecake and when I baked the cheesecake oil seeped through my springform and created a mess in my oven. I didn’t have any issues when I baked the empty crust. The cheesecake did call for chocolate chips to be spread on the bottom crust before adding the filling. Have you ever heard of anything like this? Do you think it was from the chocolate chips? If so, what should I do to avoid this the next time, which is supposed to be this weekend! The cheesecake was amazing so I hate to leave out the chips but I don’t want clean my oven again! Thanks for any advice you can give me.
I’ve had that happen sometimes with crust recipes but when you’re using a springform pan you should leak-proof it. I wrap the bottom (and up the sides) of the outside of the pan with 2-3 layers of foil. That way there is no mess, and you can always put it on a cookie sheet just to double ensure you won’t have it leak. Since it didn’t do it when you baked the crust alone, it could have been just from all the liquid in the cheesecake, or there could have been a touch too much butter in the crust recipe.
dose it need to cool to put a banana cream pie filling in
I usually chill it while I’m making the filling, then add it and chill as the pie recipe directs. enjoy!
I’m using chocolate Oreos for a white chocolate raspberry cheesecake (with a heart swirl, if it works :P) for Valentine’s Day! I love Oreo crusts! (For a while, at all of my family birthdays, Oreo-crust coffee ice cream cake was the request… from pretty much everyone — so we started getting a big carton of Oreo crumbs from GFS. They are awesome, because it is the entire cookie, crushed, just without the work for us! 🙂
I don’t like Oreo cookies much anymore, but the Golden Ones are fabulous. I’ve been asked to bake something gluten-free, so I’m hoping that the gluten free “sandwich cookies” I bought will work as a base for mini-cheesecakes. Oreo crusts have always been a big hit. Thanks for the suggestion of using other flavors!!
How about removing the filling of the cookies and adding it to the cream of the cheesecake ? That will make the cream taste like oreo filling for sure. But I’m not sure if the crust will be better with the filling or without it ? What do you think ?
Removing the filling from the cookies is way too much work for me!
