  • Chocolate shavings optional
  • chocolate syrup optional
  • cocoa powder optional

Equipment

  • Medium bowl
  • 9-inch pie plate
  • Large bowl
  • Electric mixer

Method
 

Prepare the Crust
  1. Combine crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter in a medium bowl, then press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. Refrigerate the crust for at least 15 minutes to allow it to firm up.
Make the Chocolate Filling
  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy, then gradually beat in the milk.
  2. Add the dry instant chocolate pudding mix and vanilla extract, then beat on low speed until combined, increasing to medium for 2 minutes to thicken.
  3. Gently fold in one container of thawed whipped topping until no streaks remain.
Assemble the Pie
  1. Pour the chocolate filling over the chilled crust and spread evenly.
  2. Spread the remaining thawed whipped topping over the chocolate filling.
Chill and Serve
  1. Cover and refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow all layers to set.
  2. Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings, chocolate syrup, or cocoa powder, if desired.

Notes

For easier cutting and serving, you can lightly spray your pie plate with non-stick spray before pressing in the crust. Ensure your cream cheese is truly softened to avoid lumps in the filling. To crush Oreos, you can use a food processor or place them in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin. This pie is best when made ahead of time and allowed to chill overnight.
