The first time I had the Oreo cream pie I was completely bowled over – I could not stop eating! With every bite, I kept saying to myself, “this is going to be the last bite.” The smooth and creamy filling against the wonderful pie crust was something I had never had before.
This pie is so easy to make and a tad messy with all the crushed Oreo; but what the heck, it’s always fun to lick the crumbs off your fingers. But more importantly, these will always turn out wonderfully. There is absolutely nothing that can go wrong since you’re working with a few ingredients and there is no baking required.
I have been wanting to make it for a very long time and had bought all the ingredients too, but did not make it because I wanted to make it during a time I could just sit back and savour the pie at leisure. Haven’t got that kind of time anymore *sigh* so I went ahead anyway.
Creamy Oreo Pie Recipe
(from the Nabisco site)
39 Oreo Cookies, divided
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter , melted
1 pkg. (8 oz.) Philly Cream Cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
2 cups sweetened whipped cream
Crush 26 of the cookies; mix with butter until well blended. Press firmly onto bottom and up side of 9-inch pie plate. Refrigerate while preparing filling.9 of the remaining cookies; set aside. Beat cream cheese and sugar in medium bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add chopped cookies and whipped topping; stir gently until well blended. Spoon into prepared crust.Refrigerate at least 2 hours or until firm. Halve remaining 4 cookies; stand on cut edges around center of pie. Or you could grind them to give you a smooth texture to make nice shapes using stencils. (With everthing I make, I try and think of how effectively can I use my favourite stencils.)
Instead of making one 9 inch pie, I made one 6 inch and one 4 inch to surprise myself with another one, when I craved for more. Probably the only thing I’ll do differently is I will pipe out the filling to make it look prettier.
This recipe is a keeper. Makes one heck of a decadent dessert.
