Ingredients
– 24 Oreo cookies (plus extra for garnish)
– 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
– 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup heavy whipping cream
– 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Equipment Needed
– 9-inch pie dish
– Mixing bowls
– Electric mixer (or whisk)
– Rubber spatula
– Food processor (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin, I like to crush the Oreos first. You can toss them in a food processor for a quick job or put them in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Once the crumbs are fine, mix them with the melted butter until everything is well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form a crust. It should look and feel compact now. This step is crucial because it provides a solid base for the creamy filling. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
