A rich, no-bake chocolate cream pie with an Oreo crust, perfect for your holiday dessert table. This recipe is easy to prepare in advance.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 1/2 cups cold milk
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for whipped cream)
  • Chocolate curls or holiday sprinkles, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix the Oreo crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Chill the crust for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Make the chocolate filling base: In a large bowl, whisk the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk together for 2 minutes until slightly thickened. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the cream cheese layer: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Combine fillings: Gently fold the cream cheese mixture into the prepared chocolate pudding until fully incorporated. Spread this mixture evenly into the chilled Oreo crust.
  5. Chill the pie: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the filling is firm.
  6. Make the topping: Just before serving, whip the heavy whipping cream and granulated sugar in a clean bowl until stiff peaks form.
  7. Top and decorate: Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the set chocolate filling. Garnish with chocolate curls or holiday sprinkles. Slice and serve cold.

Notes

  • You can make the entire pie, up to the whipped cream topping, two days ahead of time. Store it covered in the refrigerator.
  • For a festive look, use red and green holiday sprinkles on top of the whipped cream.
  • If you do not have Oreos, you can substitute with graham cracker crumbs mixed with 1/4 cup sugar and 5 tablespoons melted butter for the crust.
