Quick answer: press a crust of 25 crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and 5 tablespoons of melted butter into a 9-inch pie dish. Beat 8 oz of cream cheese with ½ cup of powdered sugar, fold in 1½ cups of cream whipped to stiff peaks and 12 chopped cookies, fill the crust and chill for 6 hours.
Ingredients (9-inch pie)
- About 40 chocolate sandwich cookies in total: 25 for the crust, 12 for the filling, a few for the top
- 5 tbsp (70 g) butter, melted
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1½ cups (360 ml) cold heavy cream
How to make it
- Crush 25 cookies to fine crumbs, mix with the butter and press over the base and sides of the dish. Freeze for 15 minutes.
- Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla until completely smooth.
- Whip the cream to stiff peaks and fold it into the cream cheese in two additions.
- Roughly chop 12 cookies and fold them in.
- Spread into the crust, cover and chill for at least 6 hours.
- Top with more whipped cream and crushed cookies.
Tips
- Soften the cream cheese fully so there are no lumps.
- Whip the cream until stiff; it is what sets the pie. See soft peaks vs stiff peaks.
- Wipe the knife between slices.
Variations
- Mint: mint sandwich cookies and ¼ tsp peppermint extract.
- Peanut butter: beat ⅓ cup peanut butter into the cream cheese.
- Golden: vanilla sandwich cookies.
- Chocolate top: a layer of chocolate ganache.
- Cups: layer crumbs and filling in small jars.
