Ingredients You’ll Need
Oreo Crust
This crust is rich, chocolatey, and holds together perfectly without baking a budget-friendly dinner dessert win when you want something impressive but easy.
- 36 Oreos (about one 14.3 oz package)
- 7 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Creamy Oreo Filling
The filling is thick, fluffy, and wonderfully protein-packed thanks to the dairy base, making it feel indulgent yet balanced in texture.
- 2 boxes (3.4 oz each) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 3 cups heavy whipping cream
- 8 oz Cool Whip, thawed
- 2 cups chopped Oreos (about 18 cookies)
Whipped Cream Topping
Light, cloud-like, and just sweet enough the perfect cozy finish.
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
How to Make It
Build the Oreo Crust
Start by pulsing the Oreos cookie and cream together in a blender or food processor until you have fine, even crumbs. This step sets the foundation for that classic cookies-and-cream flavor.
Pour the crumbs into a large bowl and stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles damp sand. Press it firmly into a 9- or 10-inch pie pan, using the bottom of a measuring cup to really pack it down. This helps the crust slice cleanly later.
Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
Whip the Creamy Filling
In a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, combine the instant pudding mix and heavy cream. Do not prepare the pudding according to the box instructions this is what gives the filling its thick, almost mousse-like texture.
Beat until the mixture is very thick and smooth. If you’re using a stand mixer, this step is easier and less messy.
Once thick, gently fold in the Cool Whip and chopped Oreos. Mix on low speed until everything is evenly combined. The filling will transform into a fluffy, creamy dream soft but sturdy enough to hold its shape.
Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours, allowing it to fully set. This slow chill time makes it ideal for meal prep for busy days and stress-free entertaining.
Make the Whipped Topping
Right before serving, place a metal or glass mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for about 15 minutes. This small step helps the whipped cream come together beautifully.
Add the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the chilled bowl. Beat with an electric mixer for 4–5 minutes, until stiff peaks form and the cream holds its shape.
Spoon or swirl the whipped cream over the pie, then finish with crushed Oreos for that extra touch of texture and nostalgia.
