Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package (14.3 ounces / 405 grams) Oreo cookies
- 2 packages (3.4 ounces / 96 grams each) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 3/4 cups (660 milliliters) cold milk
- 1 package (8 ounces / 226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 container (8 ounces / 226 grams) frozen whipped topping, thawed
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 cup (120 grams) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Binding and Preparation Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick / 113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- Gummy worms (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Crush Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin within a sealed plastic bag, creating a uniform texture.
- Mix crushed cookies with melted butter until thoroughly incorporated, forming a cohesive crust mixture.
- Press the Oreo-butter mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring even coverage across bottom and sides using a spoon or glass bottom.
- Whip softened cream cheese until silky and smooth, creating a light, airy base.
- Incorporate powdered sugar and vanilla extract into cream cheese, blending until completely integrated and velvety.
- Spread cream cheese mixture uniformly across the Oreo crust, creating a consistent layer.
- Whisk instant chocolate pudding mix with cold milk for approximately 2 minutes until smooth and thickened.
- Allow pudding to rest briefly, enabling further natural thickening.
- Carefully pour pudding over cream cheese layer, distributing evenly with a spatula.
- Gently spread thawed whipped topping across pudding layer, completely covering the surface.
- Refrigerate pie for minimum 4 hours, allowing layers to set and flavors to meld.
- Before serving, optionally garnish with additional crushed Oreos and gummy worms for a playful “dirt” appearance.
- Slice and serve chilled, savoring the decadent layers of texture and flavor.
Notes
- Crush Oreos thoroughly to create a smooth, even crust that holds together perfectly when sliced.
- Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a silky, lump-free layer that spreads easily across the pie.
- Chill the pie for at least 4 hours, but overnight refrigeration intensifies the flavors and creates a firmer texture.
- For a lighter version, swap full-fat ingredients with low-fat cream cheese, sugar-free pudding mix, and light whipped topping without compromising the delicious taste.
