Do you make desserts that used crushed oreos for the crust? I seem to make more of these in the summer, making ice cream dessert.
I watch for oreos to go on sale. It takes about 1/2 of a regular package to make one crust, so I crush the oreos in my chopper, doing first one half of the package and then the other half. I then package each half in a zip-loc bag.
When I need to make a dessert, the crust is easy to do because of the already crushed oreos, the mess is only made once and the other cookies don't get eaten because they are already crushed.

I don't make many, but this is a great idea. I think it would probably work great for graham cracker crusts, too. I use those more.
ReplyDeleteOf course once I click over and look at the ice cream dessert, all bets are off since ice cream is a food group at our house. It might have to be ice cream dinner.
I think this idea will work for me too! Thanks Mari! My boys will be excited about this dessert idea.
ReplyDeleteMari, I am not safe around Oreos and they are not safe around me! Sometimes (about twice a year) I must have some Oreos, though. One such time was last Sunday night! They were so good. I love any dessert with crushed Oreos for the crust!
ReplyDeleteI like your idea of dividing the package in half...but must I make 2 crusts? :)

Sweet Mari, With Grandma in hosice I have had little visiting time, but I have to tell you you lift my day to see your comments from my daily neighbor as I like to say. You are such a friend. TY so much.
ReplyDeleteNw....what about dessert? How soon can you have me a bowl ready? I'd love some!
I do that too Mari :) Glad to know you do too.
ReplyDeletethat is a great idea to do it this way! I wouldn't have thought of that! and it sounds yummy to make all those desserts using Oreos!
ReplyDeletebetty
mmmmm oreos. they would not make it into the chopper, especially if there was milk in the fridge!
ReplyDeletethe real question is how do you buy oreos and make them last long enough to make a dessert out of them! :P
ReplyDeleteThis is a great way to keep them safe from the family! :) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGreat ideal! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteCrushing those cookies up so no one will eat them is the BEST idea I have heard YET! LOL!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a winner of an idea Mari!!! Clever lady. Altho, I've never [that I recall] had Oreo™ pie crust. I will have to try that...do you use the frosting parts also?
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday, and thanks for the visit.
Mari,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea since I only need half of them to make the crust I can eat the other half!
Oreos are my weakness! They call to me from my kitchen at night!

I would probably eat the frozen crushed oreo right out of the freezer with a spoon. But..it's a great idea for normal people!
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea. Anytime you can do a messy job in just one time it's worth it.

ReplyDeleteSorry Mari - I clicked twice! therefore 2 messages. Will I ever learn?
ReplyDeleteMari,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip. I've never made oreo crust but it sounds delicious.
Going to check out your previous post.I need to catch up.
Blessings,

My family loves oreos, including me and the dogs... and I think crushed Oreos would even go well as an ice cream topping...
ReplyDeletei love blueberry cheesecake with crushed honey graham cookies as the crust. But just recently, I got to eat blueberry cheesecake with crushed Oreos as the crust, and it was really delicious.
Thanks for the tip.
