Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed Oreo cookies (about 25 cookies)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup cold milk
  • 1 package (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 container (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed, divided
  • 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled slightly
  • Chocolate shavings or extra whipped topping for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Place the crust in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the cream cheese layer: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  3. Prepare the mousse base: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cold milk and instant chocolate pudding mix for two minutes until slightly thickened. Let it sit for five minutes.
  4. Combine fillings: Gently fold the pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture. Then, fold in half of the thawed whipped topping until just combined.
  5. Add chocolate: Slowly fold in the melted and cooled unsweetened chocolate until the filling is uniform in color and texture. Do not overmix.
  6. Fill the pie: Pour the chocolate mousse filling into the chilled Oreo crust, spreading it evenly.
  7. Chill: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm.
  8. Top and serve: Before serving, spread the remaining half of the whipped topping over the chilled pie. Garnish with chocolate shavings or extra whipped topping. Slice and serve cold.

Notes

  • For the best texture, ensure your melted chocolate is cooled slightly before adding it to the mousse base; hot chocolate will deflate the whipped topping.
  • You can substitute graham cracker crumbs for the Oreo crust if you prefer a different flavor profile.
  • This creamy chocolate pie recipe is an excellent make-ahead dessert; it holds up well in the refrigerator for up to two days.
