Make this rich, layered chocolate dessert featuring a crunchy Oreo crust, creamy chocolate filling, and fluffy whipped topping. It is a classic Southern dessert that is simple to assemble.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (about 30 Oreo cookies)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed (or homemade whipped cream)
  • 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 cup miniature marshmallows (optional, for swirl or topping)
  • Chocolate syrup, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened. 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 until combined. Add 1/2 cup milk and vanilla extract, beating until the mixture is creamy. 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 the instant chocolate pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk for about 2 minutes, until the mixture begins to thicken.
  4. Assemble the layers: Spoon the chocolate pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer. If you are using marshmallows, sprinkle them over the pudding layer now.
  5. Create the topping: Gently spread the remaining half of the thawed whipped topping over the pudding layer. If you used marshmallows, you can swirl them slightly into the top layer or leave them as is.
  6. Chill: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the pie is firm.
  7. Serve: Before serving, drizzle generously with chocolate syrup. Slice and serve this decadent chocolate dessert immediately.

Notes

  • For an even richer flavor, substitute 1/2 cup of the milk in the pudding layer with strong brewed coffee.
  • If you prefer a graham cracker crust dessert, use 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs instead of Oreo crumbs.
  • If you want a marshmallow swirl, reserve 1/4 cup of the miniature marshmallows and gently fold them into the cream cheese layer before spreading it onto the crust.
