1. Make the crust: Combine the melted butter and crushed cookies, and press this mixture onto the bottom of a 9×11-inch or 9×13-inch baking dish. Place the dish in the fridge or freezer to allow the butter to set.

2. Mix cream cheese filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
3. Spread filling on crust: Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cookie crust.
4. Make chocolate pudding: Prepare the chocolate pudding as per the box instructions. Layer the prepared pudding over the cream cheese.
5. Top and serve: Top off with whipped cream and sprinkle the leftover sandwich cookies on top. Enjoy your masterpiece!

• Make it dairy-free: This pie can be dairy-free if you use certain ingredients. Look for dairy-free sandwich cookies, butter, cream cheese, and whipped cream. For the milk used to make the chocolate pudding, oat milk is best; using a hand mixer helps it set up faster.
• Gluten-free option: There are Oreo and other sandwich cookies that are specifically made to be gluten-free, so that’s an easy substitution.
• Change up the cookie: Oreos are an iconic name in the cookie world, but there are many others available, so choose your favorite. Have fun with this recipe and experiment with other cookies that sandwich peanut butter, sprinkles, or other ingredients between the two cookies. It will also work with “golden” cookies if you want a little less chocolate or those that layer white and chocolate cookies.

Storage & Make-Ahead

Stored in an airtight container, the Oreo Pie can last up to 3 days in the fridge, so it’s a great make-ahead dessert. Just be sure it’s covered to prevent the pie from absorbing other fridge odors.
