Thanks so much for the recipe, I made it for Thanksgiving but with gluten free Oreos and everybody loved it so I had to make it again for Christmas Day. I believe it will now become a sought-after dessert from our family.

I made the crust like I would a graham cracker crust and melted the butter and combined it with the Oreo cookies I pulsed through the food processor into crumbs.
The filling is delicious! Thanks for sharing this easy recipe!

The pie is delicious but the crust was a bit of a nightmare to make. Have you ever tried to crush Oreos into crumbs? You did not specify if filling should be removed so I didn’t. Pretty much got cookie chunks stuck together. Also, perhaps if would easier if the butter was melted before mixing in (again, it didn’t specify).
