Ingredients
Scale
For the Chocolate Pudding Base
- 1 box of chocolate pudding mix (instant, about 3.9 oz)
- 2 cups whole milk
For the Creamy Mixture
- 2 containers of Cool Whip (8 oz each)
- 1 sleeve of crushed Oreos (approximately 14 cookies)
For Topping
- 1 sleeve of crushed Oreos (approximately 14 cookies)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pudding: In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate pudding mix with 2 cups of whole milk. Whisk thoroughly for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens as per the package instructions.
- Mix in Cool Whip: Add both containers of Cool Whip to the thickened pudding. Gently fold together with a spatula to avoid deflating the whipped topping, ensuring a smooth and fluffy mixture.
- Add Crushed Oreos: Crush one sleeve of Oreos into small pieces and carefully fold them into the pudding and Cool Whip mixture, distributing the cookie pieces evenly throughout.
- Layer the Mixture: Pour half of the Oreo mixture evenly into a serving dish or pie pan. Use a spatula to smooth the surface for an even layer.
- Top with More Oreos: Sprinkle the entire second sleeve of crushed Oreos evenly over the pudding layer to add texture and enhance the chocolate flavor.
- Chill: Cover the dish and refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and the dessert to firm up to a creamy consistency.
- Serve: After chilling, serve the Oreo Mud Pie as is or garnish with additional whipped cream or crushed Oreos for extra indulgence.
Notes
- For a firmer texture, chill the dessert overnight.
- Use full-fat milk and Cool Whip for the creamiest results.
- Optional toppings: chocolate syrup, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of sea salt for flavor contrast.
- Save extra crushed Oreos for garnish or serving alongside the pie.
- This dessert is best served within 2 days for optimal freshness.
