Today started off as a rather normal Saturday morning. Nothing overly interesting going on… DH running errands for the household… me taking care of some items for our Home Owner’s Association… the kids playing games. Then around 1pm my quiet easy-going Saturday changed. I suddenly realized today is March 14th. Yes… 3/14… which is 3.14… that’ s Pi… and suddenly it hit me…. OH NO!!! It’s PIE DAY and I didn’t make a pie… I gotta make a pie… and it’s gotta be a quick one since I’ve already lost the whole morning! I asked the kids and DH what kind of pie they wanted and of course they sang out “Chocolate” in perfect unison as if it’d been rehearsed or something! Sure, they may have wanted chocolate pie but I wanted something more interesting… but still something I knew they’d like. The solution… a super easy Oreo Pie! If you’re a fan of Oreo cookies, this pie is tailor-made for you :)
Honestly this is super easy. Just a mere 5 ingredients… Oreo pie crust, Oreo cookies, cream cheese, whipped cream and sugar. I think it took me about 20 minutes… including clean up! And when it was served… well… it made me look like a supastah!
Oreo Pie
Adapted from Kraft
Ingredients
1 Oreo Pie Crust
12 Oreo cookies
8oz Cream Cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
2 cups whipped cream
Directions
In a small bowl, smash up 12 of the Oreo cookies… Set aside.
In a medium bowl using a hand mixer, combine the cream cheese and sugar… Beat until light and fluffy.
Add in the whipped cream and the smashed up Oreo cookies… Then use a rubber spatula and combine gently until well blended and the cookies are distributed throughout.
Spoon into the Oreo pie crust and refrigerate about 2 hours or until firm.
Optional garnish… Cut 4 Oreo cookies in half and place the halves, cut side down, around a dollop of whipped cream placed in the center and dusted with Oreo cookie crumbs
Note: the 2 cups of whipped cream is not the same as whipping cream. For this recipe the cream should be whipped. Use either freshly whipped cream or Reddi-Whip or Cool Whip or similar… But the cream is to be whipped, not liquid.
I’ve never cared for Oreos so this dessert was easy for me to resist. I can tell you my husband and kids absolutely loved it and, no lie, they licked their plates clean! That’s always a compliment :) As good as it is right now in winter, I can imagine this would be fantastic as a summertime dessert. Either way, if you like Oreos, you gotta make it :)
Have a delicious (Pi) day!
Mmm, I’m a huge Oreo fan. This pie looks right up my alley. Creamy and delicious. I love how quickly it comes together, too!!
Sometimes quick and easy is even better than slow and difficult! I love the whole idea of this pie: its simplicity, its textures. its crumbled Oreos…
Beautiful photo. It looks like spring, especially on that cool pastel cake stand!
Such a simple dessert that everyone will love. It’s a great pie recipe for those last minute casual gatherings. Cute story too.
Great way to celebrate. The pie looks delish! Love the cake stand:)
I do not understand fully the instructions of this recipe. Please mail me a completed pie.
Holy crap, Em…that looks aaaammmmaaazing!
Wow, it really doesn’t get easier does it! This would have been one I could resist, too, as I"m not a fan of chocolate but it doesn make me wish I was.

My brother’s 17th birthday is on March 14th and I started the tradition a while back to make him a pie for his Pi-day birthday. Our sister mentioned he loved oreo pie and I am still pretty new at making pie, so I googled “oreo pie” and your recipe popped up! Thought I would mention the funny PI-day connection! :) Looking forward to trying the recipe and the finished product!
