Oreo Pie

I made this pie to take to dinner the other night - it's very easy, no-bake, quick to put together, and everyone loved it. I followed the recipe pretty close other than I used unsalted butter and added a pinch of coarse salt, didn't garnish the top with whole oreos, and we served it with either redi-whip or ice cream (both were good!). 

• 1 (19.1 oz - family size) package Oreos, divided
• 5 T. salted butter, melted
• 1 c. heavy whipping cream
• 8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
• 1/4 c. sour cream, room temperature
• 3/4 c. powdered sugar
• 1 t. vanilla
• whipped cream, for serving, optional

1. Butter or spray a 9-inch, deep dish pie plate with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Place 25 cookies in the bowl of a food processor. Process until finely crushed, about a minute. Add the melted butter, pulse to combine. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie plate. Place in the freezer for at least 15 minutes while you make the filling.
3. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside. 
4. In the same bowl used to beat the cream (no need to wipe it clean), combine the cream cheese, sour cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Using the paddle attachment, beat on medium-high speed until light, fluffy, and smooth, about 1 minute, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Transfer the mixture to the bowl with the whipped cream and fold to combine.
5. Reserve 8 of the remaining cookies for garnish; place 9 cookies in a ziplock bag. Tap the bag with a rolling pin to lightly crush the cookies into small bite-sized pieces. Add to the cream cheese mixture and fold to combine.
6. Transfer the mixture to the chilled pie crust and smooth the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
7. Just before serving, press the reserved 8 cookies flat into the top of the pie. Slice and serve with dollops of whipped cream and a sprinkle of any extra cookie crumbs.
