Heavenly No Bake Oreo Cream Pie

That was exactly the mood I had when I made Heavenly No Bake Oreo Cream Pie. The crust was already waiting in its little tin, and all I needed to do was whip together a few simple ingredients. The cream cheese softened perfectly on the counter while I brewed my coffee, and I could already imagine the velvety filling tucked into that chocolate cookie shell.

As I folded in the freshly whipped cream, the texture transformed into a pillowy cloud. The chopped Oreos added those speckles of crunch, peeking through like little gems, promising both creaminess and bite.

Once the filling touched the crust, I smoothed it over like frosting a cake, each swipe of the spatula more satisfying than the last. But in those hours, the flavors deepened the tang of cream cheese mellowed into the sweet crunch of Oreos, and the crust firmed up into the perfect base.

Short Description

This no bake Oreo cream pie is irresistibly creamy, light, and filled with chunks of Oreo cookies, all nestled in a chocolate cookie crust. Perfect for gatherings, weeknight desserts, or when you need a treat without turning on the oven.

Key Ingredients

• 1 ready to use Oreo cookie crust
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 bar (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
• ⅓ cup granulated sugar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups chopped Oreo cookies (plus extra for garnish)
• Additional whipped cream and chopped Oreos for garnish (optional)

Tools Needed

• Mixing bowls (one medium, one large)
• Hand mixer or stand mixer
• Rubber spatula
• Knife and cutting board
• Refrigerator space for chilling

Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cream Cheese Base
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.

Step 2: Whip the Cream
In a separate large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. This usually takes 3–5 minutes.

Step 3: Fold and Combine
Once combined, fold in the chopped Oreo cookies until evenly mixed throughout.

Step 4: Assemble the Pie
Spoon the mixture into the Oreo crust. Use the spatula to smooth the top evenly.

Step 5: Chill and Garnish
Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight for the best texture. Before serving, garnish with swirls of whipped cream and extra chopped Oreos for presentation.

Troubleshooting Tip:
If your filling feels too soft after chilling, place the pie in the freezer for 20 minutes before slicing.
