Do I need to remove the filling from the Oreos?

No, you can leave the filling in when crushing the cookies.

What size of pan should I use?

This Oreo crust recipe will work in any 8-inch (20 cm), 9-inch (23 cm) or 10-inch (25 cm) springform pan, cake pan or pie dish. Our cheesecake recipes generally call for a 9-inch springform pan .

Can I use Oreo cheesecake crust for a no-bake cheesecake?

Yes, and technically you don't have to bake the crust. For no-bake cheesecakes, you could just place the crust in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before adding the filling. However, I still prefer pre-baking the crust even for no-bake cheesecakes, as it makes it much crispier!

Can I use this Oreo crust for desserts other than cheesecake!

Absolutely! While we designed this Oreo crust to work in our cheesecake recipes, it's also great for pies!

How many Oreos do I need to get one cup of crushed Oreos?

You need approximately 12 Oreo cookies (130 grams) to get one cup of packed crushed Oreos. This recipe calls for two cups of crushed oreos, which would be about 24 cookies (260 grams).

Easy Oreo Cheesecake Crust - Whisked Away Kitchen

Ingredients

24 Oreo cookies
4 tablespoons (55 grams) unsalted butter, melted

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan*.
Place the Oreo cookies (both the cookie and cream filling) in a food processor and pulse until you get fine crumbs. Alternatively, place the cookies in a zip-top bag and use a rolling pin to crush them. You should have approximately 2 cups (260 grams) of crushed Oreos.
Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a mixing bowl and add the melted butter. Mix together until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Using the back of a spoon or measuring cup, firmly press the mixture into the bottom of the pan and slightly up the sides to form the crust.
Bake the cheesecake crust for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool completely before adding your cheesecake filling.

Notes

Oreos: This recipe works best with regular Oreos. Make sure not to use Double Stuf Oreos, which have more filling.

Substituting other cookies: If using another brand of sandwich cookie, it’s best to go by volume or weight instead of number of cookies. Use 260 grams of cookies (about 2 cups of crushed cookies) and 4 tablespoons (55 grams) butter.

Pan size: While I generally use a 9-inch springform pan, this amount of crust will work for an 8-inch (20 cm), 9-inch (23 cm) or 10-inch (25 cm) round pan.
