Exact quantities in recipe card below
Instructions
To begin, pulse the cookies in a food processor until they form a fine crumb. If you don’t have a processor, simply place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin until finely ground. Next, add the melted butter to the crumbs and pulse again until the mixture is evenly moist. Transfer the mixture to a pie pan and press it down firmly, using the back of a spoon to create an even layer along the bottom and up the sides. If you're using the crust for a no-bake pie, bake it for 10–12 minutes to set. For pies that will be baked again with the filling, bake the crust for just 5–7 minutes before adding your filling.
- Step 1: Add all the Oreos to the food processor and begin to pulse until a fine crumb
- Step 2: Begin to add butter and pulse until well incorporated and consistency of wet sand
- Step 3: Pat with hands into pie pan then using a back of a spoon or small bowl press down firmly and along edges until compacted into pie pan
- Step 4: Par bake or bake completely and then add filling
Baking
If using a no bake pie such as this Hershey Bar pie then you have 2 options! For a slightly firmer and crispier crust bake the crust for 10-12 minutes until set and firm. Cool completely then refrigerate for about 20 minutes before filling. The other option is for a softer crust and that means no bake! Assemble as described then just refrigerate for 30 minutes until firm.
If baking a pie with the crust, then the crust just needs a par bake. Which means baking for about half the time. So about 5-7 minutes will be perfect with this crust.
Storage
You can make this crust ahead of time! Just wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store in refrigerator for up to 3 days!
Equipment
This kind of pie crust works well with a glass pie dish. Not all pie crusts are good in glass. When I don't use glass I use this pie pan, which I love! And a food processor is a MUST in my kitchen. It is used for so many things! Grating large amounts of cheese, salsas, pie crusts, dough etc! This is the one similar to mine and it has lasted years and still going strong!
