Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
  • 1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup hot water
  • 1/4 cup chocolate syrup (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Combine the finely crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter in a bowl. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Chill the crust for 15 minutes while you prepare the filling.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  3. Gently fold in half of the thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until just blended. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes, until the mixture thickens. Pour the pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer.
  5. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and hot water. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let the ganache cool slightly, then drizzle half of it over the pudding layer.
  6. Cover the pie loosely and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm.
  7. Before serving, spread the remaining half of the whipped topping over the set pie. Drizzle the remaining chocolate ganache and the chocolate syrup over the top layer.
  8. Slice and serve this ultimate chocolate indulgence cold.

Notes

  • For an even richer flavor, use dark chocolate sandwich cookies for the crust.
  • If you prefer a firmer chocolate layer, you can use a traditional chocolate mousse recipe instead of instant pudding mix.
  • Keep the pie refrigerated until you are ready to serve it.
