We’ve covered LOTS of yummy kinds of recipes here at Sweets & Thank You, but I only just realized we haven’t shared a pie yet! With Pi Day (March 14th/3.14) just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to fix that.

To start, I thought we’d share an easy, delightful gluten-free pie crust recipe. This gluten-free Oreo pie crust is a total delight. Itโ€™s light and crisp, with a sweet, chocolatey crunch.

This easy cookie crust is a perfect base for all sorts of delicious desserts, and it only takes a few minutes to make. Itโ€™s the perfect beginner gluten-free pie crustโ€”no fancy skills required!

Here are the TWO ingredients you’ll need to get started…

Start With 2 Simple Ingredients

Maybe my favorite thing about this gluten-free Oreo pie crust recipe is that it only calls for TWO INGREDIENTS. You’ll need:

  • Gluten-Free Oreos (Or Gluten-Free Chocolate Sandwich Cookies). You’ll start with Gluten-Free Oreos (or another brand of gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookie). These yummy cookies create a light, crisp crust that’s loaded with chocolate flavor.
  • Butter Or Vegan Butter. Then, to told it together, you’ll use butter or vegan butter, depending on your dietary needs. (Oreos aren’t certified vegan, but they’re dairy-free and contain no eggs, so some vegans choose to eat them. If that’s you, just make your crust with vegan butter!)

Are Oreos Gluten-Free?

Regular Oreos are NOT gluten-free, though Oreo DOES make Gluten-Free Oreos and Gluten-Free Double Stuf Oreos. Be sure the package you’re buying says “gluten-free” to be sure!

How To Make Gluten-Free Oreo Crust, Step By Step

As always, you can find the full recipe, with ingredient amounts, detailed instructions, and tips in the recipe card below.

making gluten-free oreo pie crust step by step
  1. PREHEAT THE OVEN. Begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F. Set out a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. CRUSH OREOS. Add gluten-free Oreos to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the cookies are fine crumbs and no lumps remain.
  3. ADD BUTTER. Next, add melted butter (or vegan butter) to the crushed cookie crumbs and blend or pulse to coat the cookies with butter. It’ll be the texture of wet sand now.
  4. TRANSFER CRUMB MIXTURE TO YOUR PIE PLATE. Pour the gluten-free chocolate crust mixture into a 9″ pie pan and use the bottom of a measuring cup, drinking glass, or your fingers to pat the crust down into an even layer around the bottom of the pan and up the sides of the pan. Even the top edge out with your fingers.
  5. BAKE & COOL THE CRUST. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes to set the crust. Then, set aside on a wire rack to cool completely before using.

*FOR A NO-BAKE OPTION: you can simply pop your crust in the fridge to chill 30-60 minutes before filling. It won’t hold together quite as well as a baked crust, but tastes great and works like a charm when you’re short on time!

FAQ + Tips And Tricks For The BEst Gluten-Free Oreo Crust

Can I Make Gluten-Free Oreo Crust In Advance? You bet. You can make, bake, and store it at room temperature 1 day in advance. If you’d like to make it further in advance, cover the baked, cooled crust well (I like a layer of plastic wrap or press n’ seal + a layer of foil), and freeze the crust up to 2 weeks in advance.

Can This Be Made As A Gluten-Free No-Bake Oreo Crust? Yes. It’ll hold together best when baked, but if you can’t bake it, you *can* still use it unbaked. If making it as a no-bake pie crust, pay special attention to REALLY pack it down into the pan so it holds together better, for best results. 

What Kinds Of Chocolate Cookies Are Gluten-Free? Other than Gluten-Free Oreos, you can use Glutino (dairy & egg free), Kinnikinnick (vegan), and Trader Joe’s Gluten-Free Joe-Joe’s (contain eggs). They’ll all work for gluten-free chocolate pie crust!

Can I Use Gluten-Free Double Stuf Oreos To Make Pie Crust? You can. I prefer regular Oreos for their frosting-to-cookie ratio, but double stuf WILL work for oreo crust.
