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! 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!
2 Ingredients Needed
- Oreos – Regular Oreos (not double-stuf Oreos) are best for this recipe
- Unsalted Butter – You can swap salted if that’s what you have.
Variations
- Golden Oreos are the perfect all-purpose cookie if you don’t want to make a graham cracker crust.
- 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
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 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.
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.

Oreo 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.

This was SO great as a crust for a pudding pie! Thank you so much.
5 tablespoons of butter makes it way to mushy 3 tablespoons is more then enough as the cream in the center of the oreo is very greasy.
I always use 5 tablespoons in this recipe. It compacts nicely that way.
I was so happy to find this recipe!! But I think 25 is WAY too many cookies for a pie crust. I’m doing a 9×13 pan and the crust is still way too thick. I scooped out a full cup of cookie crumbs and I’ll use it for dirt pudding I guess. Hopefully this helps me avoid the rock hard crust some comments mentioned. I’ll find out in a little bit. Thanks for a starting point though!
I used this recipe for mini cheesecakes and the paper liners were very oily when removed from the tins -what went wrong? should I have baked the crust in the cupcake liners first then filled with cheesecake batter and bake again / making the mini cupcakes for an anniversary party and don’t want to serve greasy cupcake papers
My crust stuck to pie plate bad! Why? Help please
