Every family has traditions. In my family, one of our sweetest constants is Oreo Cream Pie on Thanksgiving. I couldn’t tell you how many years it’s been—at this point, it feels like forever. It’s similar to the “Grey Stuff” from Beauty and the Beast, but nestled into a chocolatey Oreo crust. If you buy a premade crust, the recipe is entirely no-bake—just mixing, chilling, and enjoying.
Ingredients:
Crust
- 22 Oreo cookies (with filling)
- 5 tablespoons melted butter
Filling
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 Oreos, chopped
Topping (Optional)
- Extra Oreos (I use 4-6)
- Whipped Cream
Instructions
Make the crust:
- Crush Oreos into fine crumbs
- Mix with melted butter
- Press into a 9-inch pie dish
- Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes, then let cool
*(Or use a store-bought crust for a no-bake version.)
Make the filling:
- Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form; set aside
- In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth
- Gently fold in the whipped cream and chopped Oreos until fully combined
Assemble:
- Spread the filling evenly into the crust and smooth the top
Chill:
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to set
Serve:
- Garnish with whipped cream and crushed Oreos before slicing
Oreo Cream Pie is comforting, creamy, and impossible to mess up. Every year, someone suggests a different dessert, and every year, the idea gets scrapped in favor of keeping the tradition. Traditions don’t need to be complicated to last—or to matter.
