To begin this cookies and cream pie recipe, first you will need to gather the ingredients. You will want plenty of chocolate creme sandwich cookies (Oreos or otherwise), butter, whipping cream, cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, salt, and vanilla extract.

Preheat the oven to 350 F.

Begin the crust: Add the sandwich cookies to a food processor.

Blitz until the cookies have been reduced to crumbs.

Transfer cookie crumbs to a bowl and mix with melted butter to form a sand-like consistency.

Press the mixture into the base and sides of an 8-inch cake tin.

Transfer crust to the oven and bake for 8 minutes. Once baked, remove and set aside to cool.

Begin the filling: Whip the cream with a whisk or hand mixer until soft peaks form.

In a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese until softened and smooth.

Mix the confectioners' sugar, salt, and vanilla extract into the cream cheese.

Fold in the whipped cream.

Fold in the crushed cookies.

Spoon the cookies and cream filling into the cooled pie crust. Transfer to the fridge and cool for at least 4 hours.

To decorate, whip ¾ cup cream with 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar to form stiff peaks.

Pipe or dollop the fresh whipped cream on top of the pie.

Sprinkle the cookie crumbs over the top of the cream before serving.

This cookies and cream pie is an absolute dream of a dessert, and as well as being wonderfully simple to assemble it is also easy to adapt, making it a great recipe to keep on your radar. A great way to switch up this pie recipe is by using different flavored cookies, such as peanut butter or mint varieties of Oreos. These can be further enhanced by including a peanut butter swirl through the pie, or alternatively mixing a little peppermint extract into the cream mixture. With over 85 varieties of Oreo to have been created, you'll never grow bored.

For an even richer cookies and cream pie experience, why not add a layer of chocolate ganache, caramel, or chocolate cream to your pie? Alternatively, you can drizzle the top of the pie with melted chocolate to add something a little extra. Finally, adding different flavorings into the cream mixture can elevate your pie; hazelnut extract makes a delicious addition, or to make things decidedly more adult, mixing in a little bit of Baileys Original Irish cream will add a nice punch.

This cookies and cream pie is so delicious you might well find that you don't end up with any leftovers, but in case you do, it is a good idea to know how best to store them. Due to the high dairy content of this pie, you are going to need to store it in the fridge to keep it safe for consumption. Make sure the pie is well wrapped, or transfer the pie into an airtight container before storing in the refrigerator. Stored this way, the pie can be safely enjoyed for up to 5 days.

This pie can also be frozen, allowing you to make it in advance for a gathering or to store leftovers to enjoy at a later date. The pie can be frozen whole or in individual slices. The pie crust can also be frozen by itself in case you want a delicious, ready-to-use pie crust to employ at a later date. Just remember to wrap up the pie really well to keep it nice and airtight.
