If your childhood was spent begging for an Oreo pie from the freezer section of your local grocery store, this grown-up recipe of a nostalgic classic is for you. With an Oreo cookie crust, a sweet yet tangy filling and a crushed Oreos topping, this dessert is for cookies-and-cream lovers only. The prep for this pie only takes 10 minutes, making it the easiest dessert to make in advance for any potluck or dinner party year round.
What is Oreo pie made of?
This pie starts with a chocolatey crust made of crushed Oreos, then filled with an Oreo and cream filling before being topped with—you guessed it—crushed Oreos. A little bit of sour cream added to the filling brings some much-needed tang and balance to this creamy, sweet delight. While some versions of this pie are completely no-bake, we baked our homemade crust to bring everything together.
Top Tip: You don't have to use Oreos! Any brand of chocolate sandwich cookie will work. You can also try this with vanilla sandwich cookies if chocolate isn’t your thing. For added fun, try a seasonal or special flavor Oreo, like mint chocolate, peanut butter, or pumpkin spice.
Can I use store-bought crust?
Definitely! Pre-made Oreo pie crust is no-bake, widely available, and a great alternative to making the crust from scratch.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely—this pie is an ideal dessert to make ahead of time because of its necessary chill time. Once you make your pie, you can let it chill for at least 6 hours or up to 5 days in the fridge, or freeze at least 4 hours or up to 1 month. You can do either depending on the result you want. Refrigerating the pie keeps the texture creamy and smooth, but the freezer will create a firmer, more ice cream cake-ish texture. If you opt to freeze the pie, let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before slicing.
How do I store it?
Oreo pie will keep in the refrigerator wrapped in plastic wrap for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
