Did you know Nabisco discontinued the pre-made Oreo pie crust? When we were prepping for Thanksgiving, Fatima wanted to make a dessert in addition to her amazing sweet potato pies. She was craving an Oreo cream pie, so she put me in charge. Let me tell you, I almost devoured the entire pie myself!
I initially thought I could just whip up the filling and pour it into a store-bought crust. But my plans hit a snag when I couldn’t find any pre-made Oreo crusts at the store. A quick Google search revealed they were discontinued in early 2023! That’s when I decided to make a homemade Oreo crust. It’s surprisingly easy—all you need are Oreos and butter. I used my Oreo Cheesecake crust recipe as a guide.
Making No-Bake Oreo Cream Pie: A Step-by-Step Guide
This no-bake Oreo cream pie is incredibly simple to make, but it must be made the night before you plan to serve it. The filling needs time to set, and it’s best served ice cold. I learned this firsthand: we had a slice shortly after taking photos, and it wasn’t nearly as good as the next day when we had it straight from the fridge. So, keep it chilled until serving!
While the pie itself is no-bake, you do need to pre-bake the Oreo crust. This prevents a soggy bottom and provides a nice, firm base for the creamy filling.
The filling is a breeze to make. You’ll whip up some heavy cream, then combine it with cream cheese, crushed Oreos, and powdered sugar. If only sugar didn’t have any negative health effects, I’d eat a slice of this Oreo cream pie every single day!
Pro Tip for Serving:
You’ll often see Oreo cream pies decorated with dollops of whipped cream on top. While that looks great for photos, I recommend spreading a smooth layer of whipped cream over the entire pie. This helps balance the sweetness of the filling.
No Bake Oreo Cream Pie and Homemade Oreo Crust
Ingredients
- Crust
- 25 Oreos, regular
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
- Oreo Pie Filling
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8oz cream cheese
- 1/4 cup confectioners sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 15 Oreos, chopped
- Cool whip or additional 1 cup heavy whipping cream to make homemade whipped cream
Instructions
Crust
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Crush up 25 Oreos (cream and all) until really fine. I used a blender to do this, but a bag and a rolling pin will work, too! Place crumbs in a medium bowl.
Pour melted butter into the bowl of Oreo crumbs and stir until all combined.
Push the Oreo and butter mixture into a 9-inch pie pan to form a crust.
Place in the oven and bake the crust for 10 minutes (and not a minute longer!).
Remove from the oven and let cool completely (this is the only baking we need to do).
Oreo Cream filling
Crush 15 Oreos into a bowl and set aside. I used my hands for this as you'll want to have some chunky pieces. I broke each Oreo into quarters.
In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
In another large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.
Add confectioners sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until silky smooth.
Grab those bowls of whipped cream, and crushed Oreos, and fold them into the cream cheese mixture. I've made this twice and the first time I rushed this process and the filling was a little dense--still delicious. But take your time with the folding, on the second time, the filling was luscious and airy.
Spread filling into the cooled crust. Cover tightly and let sit for 8 hours.
When time to serve, spread cool whip over the top of the pie. Garnish with crushed or halved Oreos.
Notes
You'll notice cute little balls of cool whip on the top of this pie in the photos. That was only for staging. Spread a layer of cool whip on top of the pie as it'll break up the sweetness. This pie is best served cold. Keep it in the fridge until the last possible second before serving.
