Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 24 Oreo cookies
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1 package (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding
- 1 tub (8 ounces) Cool Whip, thawed
Crust and Binding Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) butter, melted
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Liquid Ingredient:
- 1 3/4 cups milk
Topping (Optional):
- Additional Oreos for topping
Instructions
- Pulverize Oreo cookies in a sealed plastic bag until transformed into fine, uniform crumbs using a rolling pin or mallet.
- Merge cookie crumbs with melted butter, firmly pressing the mixture into the base and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to create a compact crust.
- Whip cream cheese and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl until achieving a silky, lump-free consistency, then gently incorporate half of the whipped topping.
- Carefully spread the cream cheese mixture evenly across the prepared Oreo crust, ensuring a smooth, consistent layer.
- Vigorously whisk chocolate pudding mix with cold milk until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy, approximately 2 minutes.
- Delicately pour the chocolate pudding over the cream cheese layer, allowing it to settle evenly without disturbing the underlying layer.
- Refrigerate the pie for a minimum of 4 hours at 40°F, or until the filling sets completely and becomes firm to the touch.
- Just before serving, garnish the pie with remaining whipped topping and sprinkle additional crushed Oreo cookies for added texture and visual appeal.
Notes
- Crush Oreos completely to ensure a smooth, compact crust that holds together perfectly when sliced.
- Use room temperature cream cheese to prevent lumps and create a silky-smooth filling that spreads easily.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular Oreos with gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies and ensure all other ingredients are gluten-free certified.
- Chill the pie longer than 4 hours for an extra-firm texture that cuts cleanly and holds its shape when served.
