The secret to make it taste like an Oreo is the use of two different types of cocoa powder.  Using regular cocoa powder and black cocoa powder transforms this ordinary gluten free chocolate cookie crust into a FAUX-reo crust, made with ingredients you can pronounce.

But here is why you should make this faux-reo crust instead: it tastes as amazing as an oreo cookie crust but made with a few simple ingredients and NOTHING artificial. Whenever possible, baking with ingredients that are whole and are things you can pronounce will undoubtedly produce something amazing. This faux-reo crust is no exception and is a unique take on a gluten free chocolate cookie crust.

Ingredients Needed

How to Make it

This pie crust couldn’t be easier! All you need to do is:

1. Melt the butter.
2. Combine all ingredients together in a bowl or to make it even easier put them inside of the bowl or pot you used to melt the butter.
3. Pour the mixture into a 9″ pie plate and start pressing the ingredients up the sides of the pie plate to form the edges first. Once the edges are formed work the crumbs down to evenly distribute into the bottom of the pie plate and pack it down into an even layer.
4. No need to bake this crust. Simply freeze for 30 minutes before using for your favorite no-bake pie filling!

This Faux Oreo Crust would go great with:
