Mahalo cooking expert Stacey Hicks shows you how to make an Oreo cookie crust.
What You'll Need
- 1 1/2 cups finely crushed Oreo cookie crumbs (approximately 20 to 22 cookies)
- 3 tbsp butter, melted
- Resealable plastic bag
- Hammer
- Mixing bowl
- Wooden spoon
- Pie tin or cake pan
Instructions
- Place one row of the cookies into a resealable plastic bag on a flat surface. Pound them with a hammer until crushed into crumbs. It is easier to crush the cookies when there is a smaller amount in the bag. Measure out one and a half cups.
- Mix the Oreo cookie crumbs and butter in a bowl with a spoon until they're properly mixed and have a consistent texture.
- Use your fingers to press the crust into into a pie plate or springform pan.
- If you're baking the filling in the crust, there's no need to bake the crust first. If you're filling the crust with a cream filling that's just being chilled, you'll want to bake the crust for 10 to 15 minutes at 350°F (177°C) until crispy before filling. Baking the crust helps to keep it firm when the pie is cut.
Your Oreo Cookie Crust is Ready for Filling
Substitutions and Variations
- To make a mint Oreo cookie crust, add a half a teaspoon of mint extract to the melted butter before mixing with the crumbs. This dessert could also go well with other minty desserts like mint nanaimo bars.
- Another option is a vanilla Oreo cookie crust. Simply use vanilla Oreos instead of original Oreos and add a half a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the recipe.
- For a cinnamon or coffee taste, you can also try adding a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon or one tablespoon of espresso powder.
