Well, hi there! It’s Patty here from Patty’s Place. I’ve got a decadent chocolate pie recipe to share with y’all today that I just know you’re going to love. It’s smooth, creamy, and chocolatey – basically everything us gals dream about!
The best part is this chocolate pie recipe comes together lickety-split. No need to slave away in the kitchen for hours on end. We’ve got families to tend to and lives to live! With just a few simple ingredients, you’ll have a silky chocolate pie ready in no time at all.
I love serving this chocolate pie for gatherings big and small. It’s an easy dessert recipe that folks of all ages enjoy. The kids go crazy over the chocolatey layers and the grownups appreciate that it’s rich and indulgent but not too sweet. It’s the perfect make-ahead dessert too for potlucks and parties since it needs to chill in the fridge anyway.
Now don’t let the short ingredient list fool you. This pie tastes absolutely decadent! Let me walk you through how we’ll put it all together:
Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 36 Oreo cookies about 1 2/3 cups cookie crumbs
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter melted
For the Filling:
- 2 3.9 oz packages Jell-O chocolate flavor instant pudding mix
- 1 3/4 cups cold whole milk
- 1 8 oz container thawed frozen whipped topping, like Cool Whip
- 1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips for garnish
Instructions
Make the Crust:
- Crush Oreos into fine crumbs by pulsing in a food processor or placing in a ziplock bag and rolling with a rolling pin.
- Mix cookie crumbs with melted butter until well blended.
- Press mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie dish. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Make the Filling:
- Whisk together both packages of pudding mix and 1 3/4 cups milk in a large bowl until very thick and smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Spread half the pudding evenly into chilled pie crust.
Make the Topping:
- Fold remaining pudding together with half the tub of whipped topping until well blended.
- Carefully spread this over the layer of pudding in the pie crust.
Finish the Pie:
- Spread remaining whipped topping evenly over the top.
- Refrigerate pie for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Just before serving, garnish pie with mini chocolate chips.
Notes
For longer storage, omit garnish, cover pie tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in fridge before serving.
