How to Make The Ultimate No-Bake Oreo Pie
Ready to make the best Oreo pie of your life? It’s as easy as 1-2-3. Follow these simple steps for dessert perfection.
Step 1: Prepare the Oreo Cookie Crust
First, we’ll create the foundation of our pie. Place about 25 Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, you can place them in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Pour the crumbs into a bowl and mix with the melted butter until fully combined. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Pop the crust in the freezer to set while you prepare the filling.
Step 2: Make the Creamy Oreo Filling
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until it’s light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Gently fold in the Cool Whip until just combined—be careful not to overmix. Roughly chop the remaining Oreo cookies and fold them into the filling.
Step 3: Assemble and Chill the Pie
Retrieve your chilled crust from the freezer. Spoon the creamy Oreo filling into the crust and spread it evenly with a spatula. For the best results, the pie needs to chill. Cover it loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the filling to set completely, making it easy to slice and serve.
Pro Tips for the Perfect Oreo Pie
Want to ensure your pie is absolutely flawless? Here are a few expert tips:
- Soften the Cream Cheese: This is non-negotiable for a silky-smooth filling. Set it on the counter for about an hour before you begin.
- Don’t Overmix: When you fold in the Cool Whip, do it gently. Overmixing can cause the filling to become runny.
- Chill Thoroughly: Patience is key! A well-chilled pie holds its shape beautifully and delivers the best texture.
Delicious Variations to Try
While this classic recipe is fantastic as is, feel free to get creative! Here are a few ideas:
- Peanut Butter Oreo Pie: Add a half cup of creamy peanut butter to the cream cheese filling.
- Mint Oreo Pie: Use Mint Oreos and add a drop of peppermint extract to the filling for a refreshing twist.
- Chocolate Drizzle: Before serving, drizzle the top with melted chocolate or hot fudge sauce. For another easy and impressive dessert, try my Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie.
Storing Your No-Bake Pie

Thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.

Absolutely! This pie is an excellent make-ahead dessert. It actually tastes even better after chilling overnight, as it gives the flavors time to meld and the filling time to set up perfectly. You can make it up to 2 days in advance.
Cool Whip provides great stability to the pie filling. However, if you prefer to use real whipped cream, you can. You will need to make stabilized whipped cream by adding a bit of gelatin or cornstarch to prevent it from weeping. To do this, whip 1.5 cups of heavy cream with 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla until stiff peaks form.
Your No-Bake Oreo Pie will last for up to 5 days when stored properly. Keep it covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness.
