Recipe: No-Bake Oreo Cream Cheese Pie

This recipe for my No-Bake Oreo Cream Cheese Pie is a variation of the No-Bake Cream Cheese Pie I’ve been making for … well … let’s see…. about 20 years…. geesh… time flies…. well anyway…. It came from one of those recipes that they stick on the back of the label for Ready Crusts…. and for some strange reason has disappeared from just about everywhere it seems... except my recipe file…

Most no-bake pies that use cream cheese … do not use sour cream… and I LOVE sour cream…. the sour cream is what makes this recipe special… it balances the sweetness of the cream cheese with its wonderful tangy flavor.

I know this recipe isn’t rocket science… it’s quick… it’s easy… and it’s delicious… I have been making this and adding various ingredients to change it up a bit… and I have to say… I haven’t had one that disappointed.

This is one of those recipes you can throw together for unexpected company in no time…. I always seem to have these ingredients on hand…. so that makes it really easy…and it’s a kids favorite… okay… who am I kidding… adults love it too.

I used a graham cracker crust because I didn’t have a chocolate crust on hand… both types work well. The filling piles high in the crust… if you like smaller pieces (I know… what am I nuts for asking?)…. You can use the extra large Ready Crust…

TIPS

To make crumbling the Oreo cookies easier…. use a mini food processor… and do it in batches so you don’t make Oreo dust.

I used the lite version of Cool Whip …. The recipe works well with it and you can cut fat and calories without compromising the recipe… I’ve tried the non-fat version before and unfortunately I think it takes away from the taste… but that’s a personal preference… you can use any type you prefer.

Need this to set-up in a hurry?…. Place the covered pie in the freezer for about a half hour or until set and then refrigerate….
