Ingredients
Scale
Pudding Mixture
- 1 box of chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 containers Cool Whip (8 oz each)
Oreos
- 1 sleeve crushed Oreos (for mixing)
- 1 sleeve crushed Oreos (for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pudding: In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate pudding mix with 2 cups of whole milk. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture thickens following the package instructions, which typically takes around 5 minutes.
- Mix in Cool Whip: Add both containers of Cool Whip to the thickened pudding. Gently fold them together to maintain fluffiness, ensuring an even and creamy consistency.
- Add Crushed Oreos: Crush one sleeve of Oreos into small pieces and fold them into the pudding and Cool Whip mixture evenly, adding delicious texture throughout.
- Layer the Mixture: Pour half of the Oreo pudding mixture into your serving dish or pie pan. Smooth it out evenly to create the first layer of your mud pie.
- Top with More Oreos: Sprinkle the remaining sleeve of crushed Oreos on top of the pudding layer, adding a crunchy and flavorful contrast.
- Chill: Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours to allow it to set and chill thoroughly for the best texture and taste.
- Serve: Once chilled, serve your Oreo Mud Pie as is or garnish with extra whipped cream or crushed Oreos for an enhanced presentation and flavor.
Notes
- Use whole milk for the creamiest pudding texture, but you can substitute with 2% milk if preferred.
- Crushing Oreos by placing them in a zip-top bag and using a rolling pin works great for controlling the size of cookie pieces.
- Try adding a dollop of peanut butter or caramel drizzle for a unique twist.
- If you like extra crunch, reserve some Oreo pieces to sprinkle on top just before serving.
- This dessert keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
