Oreo Ice Cream Pie Ingredients
Oreo Crust Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups Oreo Cookie crumbs: The foundation of our pie, these crumbs create a crispy contrast to the creamy filling. These cookie bits add a rich, chocolatey touch that enhances the overall flavor. If you don’t have Oreos on hand, any chocolate cookie crumbs will do as a substitute.
- ¼ cup sugar: Adds a hint of extra sweetness, ensuring the crust isn’t too bland. In a pinch, you could use coconut sugar if you don’t have regular sugar.
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted: Butter binds the crumbs together, giving our crust that firm yet crumbly texture.
Pie Filling Ingredients
- 4 cups Oreo Ice Cream: The star of the show! This creamy delight, infused with Oreo bits, creates the main body of our pie. However, feel free to experiment! Mint chocolate chip or plain vanilla can also do wonders.
- 12 Oreo Cookies, crushed: This brings in additional cookie bursts for an extra crunch in every bite. If Oreos are out of reach, any crunchy chocolate cookie will suffice.
Whipped Cream Topping Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream: This whipped to perfection creates a soft, fluffy layer, complementing the dense ice cream below. If you’re looking for a lighter alternative, whipped coconut cream is a fantastic dairy-free choice.
- ½ cup powdered sugar: It sweetens the whipped cream just right.
- ½ cup Oreo Cookie crumbs: A sprinkle of these on top gives the pie a gourmet finish. No Oreos? No problem. Sprinkle with your favorite cookie crumbs or even some chocolate shavings.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: This little touch deepens the flavor profile of our whipped topping.

- Pie Plate: For this recipe, we’re using a standard pie plate which typically measures around 9 inches in diameter.
