Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (about 30 Oreo cookies)
  • 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 (3.4 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • Chocolate shavings, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until combined. 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.
  2. Make the cream cheese layer: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. Gently fold in half of the thawed whipped topping until just combined. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
  3. Prepare the pudding layer: In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for two minutes until the mixture begins to thicken. Pour the pudding over the cream cheese layer.
  4. Make the chocolate ganache: Place the chocolate chips in a small, heatproof bowl. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it just simmers. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let it sit for five minutes. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Pour the ganache over the pudding layer.
  5. Chill the pie: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least four hours, or until the filling is firm.
  6. Finish and serve: Before serving, spread the remaining half of the whipped topping over the chilled pie. Garnish with chocolate shavings. Slice and serve this decadent chocolate pie immediately.

Notes

  • For an even richer flavor, substitute the instant pudding with homemade chocolate pastry cream.
  • If you prefer a traditional Southern dessert, you can substitute the Oreo crust with a graham cracker crust.
  • This simple make ahead dessert is best served cold, directly from the refrigerator.
