Method
- Start by gathering all your ingredients. You’ll need cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, chopped Oreos, Cool Whip, and a premade Oreo crust. Having everything at hand will make the process smoother.
- In a large mixing bowl, use a hand-held electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This step is crucial for getting rid of any lumps and ensuring a delightful texture.
- Once the mixture is smooth, add the chopped Oreos to the bowl. Mix them in until they’re evenly distributed throughout the filling. The Oreos should be well combined to infuse that iconic flavor into the creaminess.
- Next, using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip. This step helps to lighten the filling, giving it that airy quality that makes the pie so delicious.
- Transfer the mixture to the premade Oreo crust. Use the spatula to spread the filling evenly in the crust, ensuring that it sits nicely without any gaps.
- Once filled, cover the pie with plastic wrap or foil and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 2 hours. This chilling time allows the filling to set properly, making it easier to slice.
- After the chill time, it’s time to serve! Remove the pie from the refrigerator and garnish it with whipped cream and additional quartered Oreos if desired. This not only enhances the presentation but also adds an extra layer of flavor.
- Slice the pie into wedges and serve it to your eager guests. Watch as their faces light up with delight as they take their first bite!
