Ingredients
Scale
Crust Ingredients
- 24 Oreo cookies
- 5 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking the crust.
- Crush Oreos: Place the whole Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse until the cookies become fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs into a mixing bowl.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the melted butter into the bowl with the Oreo crumbs and stir thoroughly until the mixture is evenly combined and has a sand-like texture.
- Form the Crust: Press the Oreo mixture evenly and firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the back of a small measuring cup or your fingers to compact the crust tightly to prevent crumbling.
- Bake: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until set. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely before adding your desired pie filling.
Notes
- For a firmer crust, ensure the Oreo crumbs are pressed tightly into the pan.
- Allow the crust to cool fully before adding any filling to prevent sogginess.
- You can skip baking if you prefer a no-bake crust; just chill the crust in the refrigerator for at least one hour to firm up.
- Use regular Oreos with filling for the best flavor and binding; double-stuffed Oreos can be used for extra richness.
