Chocolate lovers, this Pumpkin Oreo Pie is the recipe for you! I have a confession, one we’ve never discussed before. I don’t really care for pie. I’ve met plenty of pies that I like but it’s not my favorite. I’ll take cake any day of the week over a slice of pie. My problem is the crust. Everyone talks about how to get a flaky crust but truth be told, I’d rather just have the filling!
Edit: I made this on an episode of The Rose Table for my Pumpkin Picnic! Watch me make it here:
I do adore pumpkin pie though. My sister-in-law and niece both love chocolate and I thought, how could I make a pumpkin pie something they would eat? The answer: Oreo cookie crust.
And because cinnamon makes all fall baking better, I topped this pie with my favorite cinnamon whipped cream. Enjoy!

Serves 8
18 Oreos
3 Tbsp butter, melted
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla*
1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk
Cinnamon whipped cream (recipe follows)
For garnish: shaved semi-sweet chocolate, cinnamon stick

*Variation: You could swap out the vanilla extract for the traditional 1/2 tsp ground ginger and 1/4 tsp ground gloves if you want more of that pumpkin pie spice flavor.
