This homemade No Bake Chocolate Pudding Pie with a Oreo cookie crust is the perfect simple, rich, and easy dessert recipe for any occasion!
I especially love the crunchy and Oreo cookie crust underneath the silky and smooth chocolate pudding layer. Talk about a dream pie. It comes together with a few ingredients (or a few more, if making your own crust)!
You can start with a store-bought Oreo crust, or for a real treat, make your own Oreo cookie crust. Trust me — it’s worth the extra step!
You only need 2 ingredients for a homemade crust: Oreo cookies and butter. If you want to mix up your flavors, use the Mint Oreo cookies and have yourself a Mint Chocolate Pie! Oreo cookies come in all kinds of different flavors, get creative!
Start by processing or crushing the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs.Combine the cookie crumbs with melted butter. Press the cookie mixture into a pie plate. I like to use the flat bottom of a small measuring cup to help press down the crust and to push the crumbs up the side of the dish. This does not need to be perfect, either! Place the crust in the refrigerator while you make the filling.
In a mixing bowl, add the can of evaporated milk and both packages of instant chocolate pudding. Using a whisk, mix for 2 minutes until all mix is dissolved.
In another bowl, whisk the cream cheese until smooth. Slowly add the cool whip to the cream cheese mixture and whisk until combined. Pour the chocolate pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture bowl. Whisk it together or use a spatula to form a uniform mixture. Spread Chocolate Pudding/Cool Whip layer with a spatula to even it out.
Want to get fancy? Using a vegetable peeler, it’s easy to shave decorative chocolate shavings right over the pie to decorate it. I used a vegetable peeler with the serrated stainless steel blade, to create textured chocolate shavings.
This Easy No Bake Chocolate Cream Pie is done! Make sure to refrigerate it at least 1 hour before attempting to cut it!
