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!
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.

Can you use sugar free cookies or wafers? Will any kind of butter work?
Way too many Nutrition factor’s for 1 day. Thats enough calories for just 1 day and enough carbs for 5 days.
Sugar free – yes. Use a bit less butter and add more as needed -different cookies need different amounts.
We don’t count carbs and calories around here 🙂
Way too much butter! Leaked out of my spring form pan. Too oily.
Thank you for letting me know – when baking in a pie plate it’s just fine, but a springform pan is different. I’ll add a note to the recipe.
Hi! I would like to remove the filling before making the crust…should I add more butter to compensate or should it still be fine with the original amount?
You may need just another tablespoon – but most likely it’ll be just fine without.
I have a bag of pre-crushed cookies crumbles. Every recipe I see says to use a certain number of cookies. What quantity of crumbs do 25 cookies make? 1 1/2 cups? 2 cups?
Thanks for your help!
That’s a good question – this post needs a refresh with that! I think it’s about 1 1/2 cups
Hi Dorothy,
Love your name! That is my Mom’s name.
So glad to have found your blog/website!
Have you used Lemon Oreos as a crust for your no-bake lemon pie? I love lemon, but wondered if it would be too much lemon—to me there is never too much lemon!
Thanks so much!
Janet
You definitely can!
Yes! I have made lemon oreo crust for a lemon cheesecake & it was lovely! My son loves lemon & gave it rave reviews.
