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
- 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.
