Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix Oreo cookie crumbs, sugar, and unsalted butter until well combined.
- Spoon the mixture evenly into a 9 or 10-inch pie plate.
- Chill the pie, covered, for 30 minutes before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using chocolate sandwich cookies instead of Oreos. You can also substitute the unsalted butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free alternative. Make sure to thoroughly mix the ingredients to achieve a crumbly texture that holds together well. If you want to add a twist, try incorporating crushed nuts or a swirl of peanut butter into the crust.
Serving Suggestions
This pie is best served chilled, topped with whipped cream and a drizzle of hot fudge for extra indulgence. It pairs beautifully with Double Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream or Chocolate Butter Pecan Ice Cream for a decadent dessert. You can also serve it alongside fresh fruit to balance the richness of the pie.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The pie can also be frozen for longer storage; wrap it well in plastic wrap and aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. To serve, allow it to thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving or let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
