Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar

- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup colorful candy pieces (like M&Ms or sprinkles)

How to Make Crunchy Cookie Crust Pie
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Use the back of a measuring cup for an even layer.
- In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Pour the creamy filling into the prepared cookie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set.
- Before serving, top the pie with colorful candy pieces and any additional candy for garnish. Slice and enjoy!
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing and a smooth texture.
- Press the cookie crust firmly to prevent it from crumbling when sliced.
- Chill the pie long enough for the filling to set; overnight chilling is even better for a firmer slice.
Easy Variations
- Swap the chocolate sandwich cookies for graham crackers for a different flavor.
- Add a layer of fruit preserves or fresh fruit between the filling and the crust for added flavor.
- Use flavored whipped topping or add cocoa powder to the whipped cream for a chocolate twist.
What to Serve With It
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing.
- Fresh berries for a refreshing contrast.
- Whipped cream for extra indulgence.
- A drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce for added sweetness.
