Ingredients
  

  • 30 Oreo cookies including the filling
  • 6 tablespoons butter melted

Method
 

  1. Cut a sheet of parchment paper larger than the pan and place it over the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Secure the pan by locking the sides over the parchment, leaving the excess hanging out for easy lifting later.
  2. Use a food processor to pulse the Oreos into fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, place the cookies in a ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin until finely ground.
  3. If you’re using a food processor, pour the 6 tablespoons of melted butter directly into the crushed Oreos and give it a few quick pulses to blend. It’s quick, mess-free, and evenly coats the crumbs.If you crushed your cookies by hand, just transfer the crumbs to a mixing bowl, pour in the melted butter, and stir until the mixture looks like wet sand and holds together when pressed.
  4. Pour the mixture into a 9-inch pie pan or springform pan. Use the bottom of a measuring cup or a spoon to press the crumbs firmly and evenly across the bottom and slightly up the sides.
  5. Place the crust in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up before adding your filling.

Notes

Tips:
For a firmer crust: Freeze for 15 minutes before adding the filling.
For extra flavor: Add ¼ teaspoon of salt to the crust mixture.
Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free Oreos for a gluten free crust.
