Ingredients
- 24 Oreo cookies (or golden Oreos)

Equipment Needed
- Food processor

- Measuring cup or spoon for pressing
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prepare
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2: Crush the Cookies
Place the Oreos in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs. Pour the crumbs into a mixing bowl.
Step 3: Mix with Butter
Stir in the melted butter until all crumbs are evenly coated.
Step 4: Press Into Pie Dish
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the back of a small measuring cup to compact the crust.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 10–12 minutes. Allow to cool completely before adding your filling.
Notes & Tips
- Make-Ahead: Prepare the crust up to one day in advance and store it covered in the fridge.
- Freezing: For longer storage, press the crust into a freezer-safe dish, cover tightly with plastic wrap and foil, and freeze up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before filling.
- No-Bake Option: Skip baking if using a no-bake filling; simply refrigerate the crust for 1 hour before adding the filling.
- Golden Oreo Crust: Substitute chocolate Oreos with golden Oreos for a lighter crust.
- 9×13 Inch Pan: Double the recipe for a 9×13 pan.
