Posted Oct 22, 2023, Updated Jul 02, 2024 I use an Oreo crust so often in my baking.

Oreo Crust: Ingredients & Substitutions
Double Stuffed Oreos. My husband is a pretty strict “double stuf only” guy. So since we usually only have that variety of cookie in our house, that’s what we use. You can use any flavor or type of Oreo (maybe minus the mega stuffed) from regular, to gluten-free Oreos to the special flavors like golden Oreos or chocolate cream! You can even use Trader Joe’s JoJo’s if you prefer. Any chocolate sandwich cookie will suffice. Granulated sugar. Use regular white sugar or organic cane sugar. Salted Butter. melted coconut oil also works to make this recipe vegan. Also unsalted butter and ghee.
How to Make an Oreo Pie Crust
This recipe is really simple. You can use it in many ways, and can either bake it or freeze it before filling. Don’t forget to watch the video for extra support. Begin by putting the Oreo cookies in a food processor fitted with an “S” blade. Then, process the cookies until they reach the texture of fine crumbs. You may need to pause, scrape down the side or loosen any cookies that got stuck on the blades, then continue processing. If you don’t have a food processor you can use a blender and pulse until the cookies reach the correct consistency. Or you can put the Oreos in a plastic bag, leaving the bag about 1/4 of the way open (for air to escape). Then use a rolling pin and roll it over the cookies in the bag until they are crushed to a fine, flour-like consistency. Then, transfer the Oreo crumbs to a large bowl and add the granulated sugar and melted butter. Next, stir the mixture until it clumps together and the ingredients are evenly distributed. Then, transfer the mixture to a 9″ round pie dish. Press it into the bottom and halfway up the sides of the pie dish.
