Ingredients
Scale
- 24 Oreo cookies (whole, including the filling)
- 5 tbsps (75 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 package (3.9 oz / 110 grams) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups (475 ml) cold milk
- 1 ½ cups (360 ml) whipped cream
- ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream, whipped
- ½ cup (90 grams) crushed Oreos
- 2 tbsps powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Chocolate sauce (optional)
- Extra crushed Oreos or chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Crust Creation: Pulverize Oreo cookies into fine crumbs, blending thoroughly with melted butter. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into a 9-inch pie dish, creating a compact base. Chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to solidify.
- Pudding Preparation: Whisk chocolate pudding mix with cold milk until smooth and thickened. Gently fold in whipped cream and additional crushed Oreo pieces, maintaining a light, airy consistency.
- Filling Assembly: Spread the chocolate pudding mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust, ensuring a uniform layer. Return to the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set the filling.
- Cream Topping: Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Delicately layer the whipped cream over the chocolate pudding, covering the entire surface with a smooth finish.
- Final Touches: Drizzle chocolate sauce and sprinkle crushed Oreo cookies or chocolate shavings for visual appeal. Refrigerate the mud pie for a minimum of 2 hours to ensure complete setting and flavor melding.
- Serving: Slice into generous portions and serve chilled, revealing the decadent layers of cookie, chocolate, and cream.
Notes
- Crush Cookies Precisely: Use a food processor for uniform, fine crumbs to create a smooth, compact crust that holds together perfectly.
- Prevent Watery Filling: Whisk pudding mix thoroughly to avoid lumps and ensure a thick, creamy consistency that sets properly.
- Fold Cream Gently: Use a light, folding technique when mixing whipped cream to maintain an airy, delicate texture without deflating the mixture.
- Chill for Maximum Flavor: Allow sufficient refrigeration time to let flavors meld and ensure the pie sets completely, enhancing overall taste and texture.
