This Cookies and Cream Pie combines the flavors of white and dark chocolate. It features a luscious white chocolate cream filling filled with crushed Oreo sandwich cookies and candy bars. It’s a luscious dessert and the filling requires no baking at all.

Easy Cookies And Cream Pie Recipe

The inspiration for the combination of cookies and cream must have been inspired by our age old love of cookies and milk. At least, that’s what I tell myself. For this pie, I chose to make the crust myself but, in a pinch a ready made chocolate cookie crust would work. Personally, I don’t think making my own crust is that difficult and the crushed Oreo’s take on an almost brownie-like flavor after mixing with butter and baking. Be certain that you cool the crust completely before adding the white chocolate cream filling so that the heat won’t change the texture. This pie is one of those oh-so- easy desserts that pleases the chocolate and white chocolate fans alike. How to make simple Cookies and Cream Pie: (Scroll down for full printable recipe.)

Make Crust – Preheat the oven to 350°F. Mix together the cookie crumbs, melted butter and sugar. Press firmly onto the bottom and sides of a 10-inch pie dish.
Bake for 20 minutes or until set. Cool completely.
Filling – Whip together the half and half, cream cheese and both boxes of pudding mix. Beat for 2-3 minutes until smooth and thickened.
Mix-ins – By hand fold in the chopped cookies and candy bar. Reserve some of each for garnishing. Spread the filling evenly into the cooled crust.
Frost – Top with whipped cream and garnish with reserved chopped cookies and candy bar.
Chill for 4 hours or overnight before cutting. Store leftovers chilled,

How to Make the Best Cookies and Cream Pie Recipe

Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Cookies and Cream Pie: Classic Oreo Cookies or a similar private label brand of chocolate sandwich cookies, melted butter, granulated sugar, half and half, instant white chocolate pudding mix, plain cream cheese, crushed Cookies and Cream candy bar and whipped topping, i.e. Cool Whip or similar.
Kitchen tools you’ll need: A deep dish 9 or 10 inch pie pan, a stand mixer or a hand mixer, medium bowl, rubber spatula, measuring cups and spoons.
It’s sometimes more cost effective to use a private label brand chocolate sandwich cookie. I’ve made this pie both ways and either way it’s equally delicious.
You could use whole milk in place of half and half for the pie filling. Half and half lends a creamy rich texture to the filling hence the reason I choose to use it. Milk will work, though.
If you prefer making your own whipped cream for the filling, you could. To make homemade sweetened whipped cream, pop the beaters and mixing bowl into the freezer for 15 minutes. Once chilled, remove from the freezer and add one pint of heavy cream plus 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the bowl. Begin whipping on medium high speed. While whipping, gradually add 1/4-1/3 cup of granulated sugar. Beat the cream until stiff peaks form being careful not to over beat, then proceed with the recipe as written. You’ll need 2 cups.
If you’re unable to find white chocolate cheesecake pudding mix cheesecake pudding mix would be a great substitute.
You can make this pie up to 2 days in advance and pop it into the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve it. When doing so, wait and top with crushed cookies the day you’re serving it.
Store Cookies and Cream Pie chilled for up to 5 days.
You can also freeze this pie for up to 2 months.
