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.

Ingredients to Make 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 using crushed oreo cookies, but in a pinch a ready made chocolate cookie crust would work. The pie crust takes 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.

Chocolate Cookie Crumbs: You’ll need crushed Oreo cookie crumbs for the crust.
Butter: Salted or unsalted butter to add moisture to the cookie crumbs.
Granulated Sugar: Sugar melts while baking and stabilizes the cookie crumbs.
Liquid: Three cups half and half or heavy whipping cream makes the filling super creamy.
Cream Cheese: 8 ounces softened cream cheese stabilizes the pudding mixture.
Instant Pudding Mix: Two boxes of instant white chocolate pudding mix.
Oreo Cookies: 15 Oreo cookies roughly chopped for the filling.
Candy Bars: Chopped cookies and cream candy bars for the filling and for garnishing.
Whipped Cream: One container whipped topping or 2 cups sweetened fresh whipped cream for the topping.

Tips for Making Cookies and Cream Pie

Kitchen Tools You’ll Need: A deep dish 9-inch or 10-inch pie pan, a stand mixer or a hand mixer, medium bowl, rubber spatula, measuring cups and spoons, a rolling pin or a food processor.
Use Any Brand of Cookies for the Crust: It’s sometimes more cost effective to use a private label brand of chocolate sandwich cookies. I’ve made this pie both ways using Oreos and store brand chocolate sandwich cookies. Either way, it’s delicious.
You Can Make Homemade Whipped Cream: 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 to chill. 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 for garnishing the top.
Make-Ahead Tip: 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.
When to Serve Cookies and Cream Pie: This pie is perfect for the holiday gatherings, entertaining friends, picnics, potluck parties or any occasion when pies are on the menu.

Recipe Variations

Heavy Cream: You could use whole milk or heavy whipping cream in place of half and half for the pie filling. Half and half or heavy whipping cream will lend the most rich and creamy texture which is why it’s used in the Oreo dessert.
Pudding Substitution: If you’re unable to find white chocolate cheesecake pudding mix cheesecake pudding mix would be a tasty substitute.

Storage and Leftovers

Leftovers: Store Cookies and Cream Pie chilled in the fridge for up to 5 days covered with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
Freezer Storage: You can also freeze this pie for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge and enjoy.
