| I was surprised to discover that oreo has discontinued its pre-baked pie crust. The last time I made one from scratch, it was very crumbly so not enough butter. Looking online, it seems there is no consistent recipe for a 9 inch pie shell, some say 18 cookies and 5 tablespoons of butter, some say 24 cookies and 4 tablespoons, some say use double stuff oreos, etc etc. If anyone has a tried and true one can you please share the link/recipe. TIA. |
| You can make them out of chocolate wafers https://www.americastestkitchen.com/articles/8169-nabisco-famous-chocolate-wafers-substitute-recipe |
This is what I would do OP. I don’t think the premade Oreo crusts were whole cookies, rather just the chocolate cookie part. I don’t think blending the whole cookie would yield good results |
| Alas the Nabisco chocolate wafers have been discontinued. |
| You just pulverize a bunch of Oreos into crumbs and then wet it with melted butter til you can press it in a pie pan. Not really a recipe as much as a method. |

I used this recipe for the crust at thanksgiving (in a vacation rental so I had to crush the Oreos by hand).
https://www.thepioneerwoman.com/food-cooking/recipes/a11761/another-pie/ For the filling I used this recipe since it uses whipping cream instead of cool whip (I grew up on a dairy farm and no Cool Whip allowed) https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/patrick-and-gina-neely/peanut-butter-pie-recipe-1918635 |
Dint akwats take the recipe at face value. Check out some of the comments - which may say “recipe says 18 cookies but itveirked better with 24” or “I tried with double stuff and it turned out great”. |

The NY Times recipe is delicious and easy.

This uses an Oreo crust (and the pie is delicious):

| Thank you everyone. I did this last night for a peanut butter pie and used the Sally's Baking addiction version with 22 cookies and 5 TB butter. I baked for 12 minutes as I saw baking times from 5-15 minutes looking at a bunch of recipies (after 10 minutes it still seemed pretty soft). |
OP here...12 minutes was way too long, the crust hardened into a rock. Next time will cook for 7=8 minutes. |
