No-Bake Strawberry Oreo Pie
November 18, 2024
This creamy no-bake confection from Twin Cities food blogger greens & chocolate is bound to be a family favorite. After all, who can resist a creamy Oreo pie, especially one with fresh strawberries in it?
It’s always right around this time of year that I’ll do anything I can to avoid turning on my oven. No-cook dinners, grilling, picnic lunches and no-bake desserts are my BFFs when it’s just too hot to stand over the stove or turn on the oven.
Even though I’m not going to be baking up a batch of cookies or brownies anytime soon, I’m not one to give up desserts. So it’s no-bake desserts all the way! Things like strawberries with whipped cream, trifles, ice cream and no-bake pies are my go-tos. And friends, I think I just found my new favorite: No-Bake Strawberry Oreo Pie!
My, oh, my, this pie is delicious. First, there’s the Oreo crust. In my opinion, you just can’t beat an Oreo crust, and I definitely lean towards heavy on the crust. It holds up perfectly under the amazing strawberry filling.
Speaking of which, the filling is a simple combination of cream cheese, sugar, sour cream and heavy whipping cream with fresh strawberries and chopped Oreos. It’s creamy, luscious and absolutely irresistible. In fact, I made this pie three times testing the recipe and didn’t get sick of it. It’s just that good!
You know who else didn’t get sick of it? My kids and neighbors. My four-year-old happily helped me taste-test the filling, and while he wasn’t particularly forthcoming with details (“It’s REALLY good!” is his standard comment), he did a great job cleaning the beaters. Our neighbors were delighted to finish off one of the pies, and that’s exactly how you pay good neighbors back for watering your flowers when you are out of town.
A note about this pie: It is delicious refrigerated or frozen. I personally like to stick it in the freezer for a few hours, and then take it out 15 minutes before serving. It’ll soften up a little, but you’ll still get clean slices. When it’s refrigerated, the pieces won’t be quite as clean cut as the one in these photos, but it’ll still taste great.
