Ingredients
Scale
1 package (14.3 oz) chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
1 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (for topping)
Instructions
Prepare the crust: Place all but 1 cup of the chocolate sandwich cookies into a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Reserve the remaining 1 cup of cookies for the filling and topping.
Mix the crust: Combine the cookie crumbs with the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. 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.
Make the cream cheese layer: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in half of the thawed whipped topping until just combined. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
Prepare the pudding layer: In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix, cold milk, and the reserved 1 cup of crushed cookies for about 2 minutes, until the mixture begins to thicken.
Assemble the pie: Gently fold the remaining half of the thawed whipped topping into the pudding mixture. Spoon this filling over the cream cheese layer in the pie crust.
Chill: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is completely set.
Serve: Before serving, sprinkle the remaining crushed cookies over the top of the pie. Slice and serve cold.
Notes
You can use a store-bought Oreo crust to save time.
For a richer chocolate flavor, substitute the vanilla pudding mix with chocolate instant pudding mix.
If you do not have a food processor, place the cookies in a large zip-top bag and crush them using a rolling pin.
