Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 25 Oreo cookies, crushed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 cup whipped topping (Cool Whip)
Garnish
- Extra crushed Oreos
- Chocolate syrup
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Crush Oreo cookies finely and mix them thoroughly with the melted unsalted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form a crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill and set for 15 minutes.
- Make the pudding filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk the instant chocolate pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk vigorously for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens. Allow the pudding to rest for 5 minutes to fully set.
- Assemble the pie: Spread the prepared chocolate pudding evenly over the chilled Oreo crust layer, smoothing with a spatula.
- Add whipped topping: Generously spread 1 cup of whipped topping on top of the pudding layer, creating an even layer.
- Garnish and chill: Sprinkle extra crushed Oreos over the whipped topping and drizzle with chocolate syrup for added flavor and decoration. Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 4 hours to allow it to fully set before serving.
Notes
- To crush Oreos easily, place them in a sealed plastic bag and use a rolling pin or heavy pan to crush to desired coarseness.
- For best results, use cold milk when preparing pudding to ensure proper thickening.
- If you prefer, substitute whipped topping with homemade whipped cream for a fresher taste.
- Allow the pie to chill thoroughly; this ensures the crust firms up and the layers set nicely for clean slices.
- Chocolate syrup can be adjusted or omitted depending on your sweetness preference.
