- Cream Cheese: Softened cream cheese adds creaminess and a little tang to the filling.
- Powdered Sugar: Sweetens up the filling just enough without being too overpowering.

- Milk: Just a bit of milk to bring the pudding mix to life and create that perfect thick texture.
- Chocolate Chips: Optional, but adding a sprinkle of chocolate chips on top is always a good idea for extra indulgence.

Instructions
Ready to dive into the easiest, most delicious pie? Let’s get started!
1. Make the Oreo Crust:
In a food processor, pulse about 24 Oreos (or use a ziplock bag and a rolling pin) until you have fine crumbs. In a bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs with melted butter and mix until everything is evenly coated. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish, forming a crust. Use the back of a spoon to make it nice and even. Pop the crust in the fridge to set while you make the filling.
2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling:
In a large bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add Cool Whip and continue beating until it’s all fully incorporated, creating a light, fluffy mixture. This is the creamy layer that brings everything together.
3. Prepare the Chocolate Pudding Layer:
In a separate bowl, whisk together instant chocolate pudding mix and milk for 2 minutes until thickened. The pudding should be rich and creamy. If you want an extra touch of chocolate, fold in some chocolate chips into the pudding at this stage.
4. Assemble the Pie:
Start by spreading the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust. Then, pour the chocolate pudding layer over the cream cheese, smoothing it out with a spatula to cover the filling evenly.
5. Chill the Pie:
Once assembled, refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or ideally, overnight. This allows the layers to set and become even more delicious.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
Before serving, top the pie with a generous dollop of Cool Whip and a sprinkle of crushed Oreos for an extra crunchy bite. Slice and enjoy the creamy, chocolatey goodness!
