Ingredients
Scale
For the Oreo crust:
- 24 Oreo cookies (whole, including the filling)
- 5 tablespoons (75 g) unsalted butter, melted
For the filling:
- 1 package (3.9 oz / 110 g) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups (475 ml) cold milk
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream, whipped (or use 1 cup Cool Whip as a shortcut)
- 1/2 cup (90 g) crushed Oreos
For the topping:
- 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) whipped cream (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (if whipping your own cream)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Chocolate sauce (optional, for drizzling)
- Extra crushed Oreos or chocolate shavings, for garnish
Instructions
- Make the Oreo crust:
- Place the 24 Oreos in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed into crumbs. Alternatively, crush them in a sealed ziplock bag using a rolling pin.
- Mix the Oreo crumbs with the melted butter until evenly combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish or springform pan to form the crust. Place in the refrigerator for at least 15–20 minutes to set while preparing the filling.
- Prepare the chocolate pudding filling:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and thickened (about 2–3 minutes).
- Gently fold in the whipped cream (or Cool Whip) until well combined.
- Stir in the 1/2 cup of crushed Oreos for added crunch.
- Assemble the mud pie:
- Pour the chocolate pudding mixture over the chilled Oreo crust and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 30 minutes to allow the pudding to firm up.
- Make the whipped cream topping:
- If making homemade whipped cream, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until stiff peaks form.
- Spread the whipped cream evenly over the chocolate pudding layer.
- Garnish and chill:
- Drizzle the top with chocolate sauce and sprinkle with crushed Oreos or chocolate shavings for decoration.
- Chill the pie for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
- Serve:
- Slice into generous portions and serve chilled. Enjoy this rich, no-bake dessert!
Notes
- Crust variations: Use Golden Oreos or chocolate graham crackers for a unique twist.
- Storage: Store the pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Freezing: You can freeze the pie for a firmer, ice-cream-like texture. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Extra flavor: Add a layer of caramel or peanut butter sauce between the crust and pudding for a fun twist.
