Irresistible No-Bake Oreo Pie

Brief Description

This no-bake Oreo pie features a crunchy Oreo cookie crust, a creamy filling made with whipped cream and cream cheese, and a topping of crushed Oreos. It’s the perfect dessert for any Oreo lover and requires no baking, making it a quick and easy treat.

Ingredients List

• 24 Oreo cookies, finely crushed (for the crust)
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped
• Additional crushed Oreos for topping (optional)
• Whipped cream for garnish (optional)

Substitutions

If you prefer, you can use a pre-made Oreo pie crust from the store to save time. For a dairy-free option, you can substitute the cream cheese with a plant-based cream cheese and the heavy whipping cream with coconut cream. If you want to add a bit of variety, consider mixing in chocolate chips or peanut butter into the filling for an extra twist.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the Oreo crust: In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies with the melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
2. Prepare the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
3. Fold in whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to keep the filling light and airy.
4. Assemble the pie: Spoon the filling into the chilled Oreo crust, spreading it out evenly. Top with additional crushed Oreos if desired.
5. Chill the pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is set. For best results, let it chill overnight.
6. Serve: When ready to serve, garnish with whipped cream and more crushed Oreos if desired. Slice and enjoy!
