Ingredients
Crust
- 2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs (around 20 Oreos, crushed)
Filling
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed (such as Cool Whip)
Instructions
- Prepare the Oreo Crust: Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Press the crumbs firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust layer.
- Make the Chocolate Pudding: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Let it sit for a few minutes to fully set.
- Assemble the Pie: Spread half of the prepared chocolate pudding over the Oreo crust evenly. Next, add a layer of whipped topping over the pudding. Repeat with the remaining pudding and top it all with the remaining whipped topping to create distinct layers.
- Chill to Set: Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the pie is firm and well chilled. This step is crucial for the layers to set and flavors to meld.
- Serve: Optionally garnish with additional crushed Oreo crumbs or mini Oreos before slicing and serving chilled.
Notes
- For a crispier crust, bake the Oreo crust at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes before adding the filling, then cool completely.
- You can substitute the chocolate pudding with vanilla pudding for a different flavor.
- Use regular or light whipped topping depending on your preference.
- Storage: Keep refrigerated and consume within 3 days for best freshness.
