- 1 9" pie tin

- 5 Tablespoons butter
- 5.9 ounce package chocolate Jello instant pudding mix
- 2 ¼ cups milk
- 8 ounce container cool whip thawed and divided
Instructions
- Place mixing bowl in the freezer. Process the OREO cookies in a food processor until the crumbs are fine. Pour into pie plate. Melt butter in a microwave safe bowl and pour onto cookie crumbs. Mix with a fork then press into the bottom and up the sides of pie plate.
- Remove bowl from the freezer then pour milk and instant pudding mix into the bowl. Whisk vigorously until thickened, about 2-4 minutes. You may also use a hand mixer with a whisk attachment.
- Scoop out half the Cool Whip (4oz) and fold into the pudding mixture until well combined. See photos above for a great visual on these steps.
- Pour the pudding mix into the crust and spread smoothly and evenly. Scoop out the rest of the Cool Whip (4oz) and spread across the top of the pudding.
- Refrigerate 2+ hours.
- Top with chocolate chips, chocolate shavings or chocolate curls. Enjoy!
Notes
- For a layered pie, before adding the cool whip, scoop out half the pudding into the bottom of the crust. Mix the cool whip into the remaining pudding at assemble as normal.
- Be cautious when freezing this pie. It will get little ice shards due to the milk content. If you do freeze it, allow to thaw in the refrigerator at least 5 hours before eating.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It will take a lot longer to go bad, but will start to weep.
- Make sure your Cool Whip is all the way thawed so that it folds in nice and easily into the pudding.
- For a sturdier pie, or if yours is going to be sitting at room temperature for awhile, use 2 cups cold milk instead of 2 ¼. This will keep it from melting as soon.
