Instructions
In a large ziploc bag, crush 24 OREO cookies, keeping them slightly chunky. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with sweetened condensed milk for about 3 minutes until smooth and fluffy. Fold in 12 oz of Cool Whip and crushed OREO cookies. Pour evenly into prepared OREO pie crusts.
In the same ziploc bag, crush remaining 12 OREO cookies into fine crumbs. Sprinkle evenly over the tops of the two cheesecakes. Using the remaining 4 oz of COOL WHIP, pipe small dollops around the edges to give it a finished look. Add mini OREO cookies if desired.
Refrigerate pies for 3 hours (or overnight). Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Pie Crust- whip up two of our oreo pie crusts for today's recipe (or use store bought instead).
Softened Cream Cheese- to get your cheesecake filling smooth, make sure to start with room temperature softened cream cheese.
OREOS- Don't process your Oreos too much for the filling or the cheesecake can turn "grey"- this is where they Grey Stuff at Disney gets it's name!
Refrigerate- You MUST refrigerate this cheesecake prior to eating for at least 3 hours. This allows the room temperature cream cheese to set up properly with the other ingredients.
Pie Plates- You can also skip the pie plates and press the crumbs into the bottom of a 13x9 baking dish. Top with all the filling. Refrigerate and enjoy.
FREEZE- wrap tightly in plastic wrap and cover with foil, or in airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw in refrigerator overnight.
