Description
Oreos are the undisputed queen of packaged cookies and they bake up into one of the best crumb crusts ever. Use this recipe as a template to make any cream-filled sandwich cookie. This recipe makes enough for one 9″ or 10″ pie.
Ingredients
Scale
- 25 Oreo sandwich cookies (280 g)
- 1/3 cup butter (75 g) or coconut oil, at room temperature
Instructions
Grind the crumbs
- Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C).
- Break up the cookies into about 4 pieces each and place them into the bowl of a food processor .

- Grind the cookies into fine pieces that are about the texture of sand.

- Add in the butter and pulse until the crumbs are thoroughly moistened and start to come away from the sides of the bowl.
Form the crust
- Dump the crumbs into the center of a pie plate . Place a piece of plastic wrap over the crumbs.
- Use the bottom of a measuring cup or a coffee cup to press down the crumbs on top of the plastic wrap so that the crumbs are packed tightly against the sides and bottom of the pan.

- Run your finger along the top edge of the pan to clean up any crumbs that peek out over the edge. Pack the loose crumbs back into the pan.
- Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until firm. Your kitchen will smell like toasted Oreos!

- You can use the crust right away in a pie recipe. If you’d like to freeze the crust, cool the crust completely first. After that, place a piece of foil on the inside of the crust and then pop the whole thing inside a plastic bag. You can freeze crusts up to 2 months.
