Decadent Oreo Cookies & Cream Pie

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oreo Crust

1. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the back of a measuring cup or your fingers to ensure it’s packed tightly.
3. Place the crust in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.

Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Filling

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
2. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined and fluffy.
3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
4. Carefully fold in the crushed Oreo cookies, making sure to distribute them evenly throughout the filling.

Step 3: Assemble the Pie

1. Pour the cookies and cream filling into the prepared Oreo crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
2. Smooth the top of the filling and refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set. For best results, let it chill overnight.

Step 4: Prepare the Topping

1. In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form.
2. Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled pie, creating a beautiful topping.
3. Garnish with additional crushed Oreo cookies for a delicious finish.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

1. Slice the pie and serve chilled. Watch as your family and friends dive into this decadent treat with delight!
