Ingredients
Oreo Crust

If desired, a store-bought pre-made crust can be used to make this dish. We have even used a graham cracker crust.
Pie Filling
- Cream Cheese. Softened before using.
- Powdered Sugar. Make sure it is lump free and sift.
- Green Gel Food Coloring. Gel food coloring is more vibrant.

Topping
- Green Sprinkles and Red Heart Sprinkles. This completes the Grinch theme.
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1 – Crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor.
Step 2 – Thoroughly mix the crushed cookies with melted butter in a large mixing bowl. Firmly press into the pie plate. You can use the bottom of a glass cup.
Step 3 – In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until soft. Combine with a stand mixer or a hand mixer.
Step 4 – Continue to add green food coloring until the filling is the desired shade of green color.
Step 5 – Gently stir in a portion of the remaining cool whip until blended.
Step 6 – Spoon the filling into the Oreo pie crust then smooth the top.
Step 7 – Spread the remaining cool whip on top.
Step 8 – Next, top with the green sprinkles and red heart sprinkles. Then chill pie for about an hour before serving.
Recipe Tips
- Pie Crust. If you do not have a food processor, feel free to place the cookies inside a ziploc bag and crush.
