Oreo Mud Pie
Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 2 cups finely crushed Oreo cookies about 24 cookies
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
For the Filling:
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- ⅔ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 8 oz container frozen whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
Optional Toppings:
- Extra crushed Oreos
- Chocolate shavings
- Whipped cream
- Maraschino cherries
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Crust
- In a medium bowl, mix the crushed Oreos and melted butter until well combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
- Place in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
Step 2: Make the Chocolate Filling
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, and cocoa powder until smooth.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, fold in the thawed whipped topping until fully incorporated and the filling is light and fluffy.
Step 3: Assemble the Pie
- Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared Oreo crust.
- Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
Step 4: Add Toppings and Serve
- Just before serving, top the pie with extra whipped cream, crushed Oreos, chocolate shavings, and cherries if desired.
- Slice and serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Oreo Crushing Tip: Use a food processor or place cookies in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.
- Dairy-Free Version: Use plant-based milk, coconut cream, and dairy-free whipped topping.
- Extra Firm Filling: Add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to the milk mixture if you prefer a firmer set.
- Make It Boozy: Add a splash of coffee liqueur or Irish cream for an adult twist.
