Oreo Memories

February 19, 2008

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. :D 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.

The following recipe for the Creamy Oreo Pie is from the Nabisco site:


39 Oreo Cookies, divided

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine, melted

1 pkg. (8 oz.) Philly Cream Cheese, softened

1/3 cup sugar

2 cups sweetened whipped cream

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

Maneesh: It is a creamy pie! SO there has gotta be loads of creamy filling. Besides, it’s a whipped cream filling, so its very light. Try it sometime. You will be amazed!

Allison: I will post the MeMe tonight when I get back home! Thanks for tagging me. :)

Hi Shama. Philly is Kraft Philadelphia cream cheese. Besides Laughing Cow (which comes in small cubes as opposed to a big block) I don’t think we get something that matches up locally. Are you from Mumbai too? E-mail me your whereabouts and maybe I could help you locate a place where you could buy the ingredients.

You mention "sweetened whipped cream" in the ingredients but "whipped topping" in the instructions. Are you talking about whipping heavy cream with a little sugar, or using Cool Whip? thanks.

Hi Faye

I make sweetened whipped cream by adding sugar to whipped cream. And that's the same thing as whipped topping.

But given this recipe is actually a kraft recipe cool whip works too! Just that I'm not a fan of non-dairy whipped cream.

Hi there! Great job on your blog, it's wonderful! Quick question, how much sugar do you add to your whipped cream?

Reply

23 The Purple Foodie November 9, 2009 at 11:06 pm

Hi Shilpa, if you're from Bombay, you can use Rich's whipping cream that is already sweet and is very similar to Kraft Cool Whip. If you're using unsweetened sugar, my estimate would be to double the sugar mentioned in the recipe.
