Recipe FAQs
What is Oreo crust made of?
Our easy recipe uses two simple ingredients: Oreos and butter. Together, they create a buttery, chocolatey crust that is simply delicious.
Do they make Oreo pie crust anymore?
We have not been able to find a store-bought Oreo pie crust at the grocery stores as easily as in times past. That is why we love this recipe so much: it is easy and allows us to make something we cannot find in the stores.
How do you crush Oreos?
A food processor is the easiest way to crush Oreos. It really creates fine crumbs, which is ideal for this homemade Oreo pie crust. However, if you do not have a food processor, you can place them in a zip-lock bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Get Kids Involved
Ages 2-3: Let your little ones use their energy by placing the Oreos in a zip-lock bag. They can smash the cookies with a rolling pin (adult supervision recommended!) until they turn into crumbs. You could have them do this before adding them to a food processor to finish crushing them.
Ages 4-5: Your kids can help measure and cube the butter. Use this as an opportunity to teach them about following measurements and knife safety.
Ages 6-8: Teach your child how to pulse the crushed Oreos and cubed butter together in the food processor.
Ages 9-11: Supervise them while they prepare the entire recipe. Remember to have them read it twice before beginning the recipe.
Ages 12+: Let them prepare the entire recipe unsupervised while you do the happy dance in the corner!
Budget Tips
- This crust is freezer-friendly. If you buy Oreos on sale, make a double batch and save one for later.
- You may also consider buying store-bought Oreos to cut some corners on your grocery budget. They often taste similar and can be significantly cheaper.
