Key Ingredients and Substitutions

You only need two ingredients to make this super simple Oreo pie crust:

  • Oreo Cookies – Any cream sandwich cookie works here, whether you use actual Oreo cookies or not! Regardless of which you choose, make sure they’re regular and not Double Stuff since those have too much cream to achieve the right consistency.

  • Dairy-Free Butter: Choose your favorite plant-based butter, either salted or unsalted works well. If using unsalted, you may want to add a dash just to enhance the flavors.

How To Make Oreo Crust

Follow these two easy-as-pie steps to learn the art of crafting a luscious Oreo cookies pie crust that will impress both friends and family alike.

Step 1: Crush the Oreo Cookies – Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor along with the vegan butter. Process until smooth.

Alternatively, you can place the cookies in a resealable plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin and mix in butter by hand.

Step 2: Add to Springform Pan – Press the mixture into the bottom (and up the sides, if desired) of an 8-inch springform pan to form the crust. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes (or, preferably, overnight) before filling.

Serving Tips & Suggestions

Here are some easy and delightful tips for using an oreo crust recipe:

  • Creamy Cheesecake – Use the cookie crust as a base for a no-bake cheesecake pie. Simply mix vegan cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract, pour it into the crust, and chill until set.
  • Ice Cream Birthday Cake – Fill the crust with softened vegan ice cream, smoothing the top. Freeze the ice cream birthday cake until firm, then slice and serve with your favorite toppings.
  • Chocolate Cream Pie – Make a chocolate cream pie by filling the cookie crust with a rich chocolate pudding or chocolate mousse filling, then topping it with vegan whipped cream.
  • Fruit Tart – Arrange sliced fruits like strawberries, kiwi, and blueberries on top of a cookie crust lined with whipped vegan heavy cream for a colorful and refreshing dessert.
  • Spiced Pumpkin Pie – Use the cookie crust as a base for a delicious pumpkin pie filling. Bake according to the pumpkin pie recipe you prefer.
  • Key Lime Pie – Fill the cookie crust with a tangy key lime filling made from vegan condensed milk, canned coconut cream, and fresh key lime juice, then bake until set.
  • S’mores Pie – Layer the cookie crust with vegan chocolate chips, vegan marshmallows, and graham cracker crumbs, then bake until the marshmallows are golden brown and gooey.

Oreo Pie Crust Recipe FAQs

Can I make this pie crust gluten-free?

Yes! You certainly can. Simply substitute with a gluten-free cookie and follow the same exact directions. You can use Gluten-Free Oreos, Kinnikinnick KinniToos, Trader Joe’s Gluten-Free Joe-Joe’s, and Glutino’s Chocolate Vanilla Creme Cookies. All of these are vegan-friendly, too.

I don’t like chocolate Oreos. Is there another option I can use for this crust?

Actually, you can use any type of cookie you like! The ratio of “dry” cookie crumbles and vegan butter is what’s most important. Feel free to try baking some of our vegan cookie recipes and using any leftovers for a pie crust!

Is it possible to make this crust ahead of time? How do I store the crust until I’m ready to use it?

Yes, this crust can be made up to 3 months ahead of time. If you have a pie pan that you don’t mind keeping in the freezer, this is a great way to have crust ready and waiting for any occasion. You can also prepare the crust, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and keep it in the fridge for 2-3 days.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 14.3 ounce package Oreos, or nutter butters, or any vegan cream filled sandwich cookies
  • ½ cup vegan butter, at room temperature

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine the whole package of cookies and the vegan butter. Process until thoroughly combined.
  • Line a springform pan (8 inches wide × 3½ inches deep) with parchment paper. To do so, cut one piece of parchment to the size of the bottom of the pan, and cut another strip to wrap around the sides.
  • Using your hands, evenly press the cookie mixture into a thin layer on the bottom of the pan.
  • Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes or overnight. When needed, remove the plastic wrap, add pie filling, and bake (or chill) as directed.

Notes

  • Making a Vegan Ice Cream Cake – “If presentation is important and you want clean lines, then pop the bottom layer of vanilla ice cream back into the freezer to firm up before adding the next layer of ice cream on top.” —Emily R.
  • Gluten-Free Suggestion – If sensitive or allergic to gluten, substitute with gluten-free sandwich cookies.
  • Freezing Instructions – You can freeze the crust for up to 3 months by carefully wrapping in plastic wrap and adding to a freezer safe bag or container. Allow to thaw in the fridge overnight.
