Our chocolate pudding pie has a luscious, creamy chocolate filling in an Oreo cookie pie shell. This is one of the easiest pies from my recipe box to make.

In a food processor, pulse the Oreos (24) (including cream filling) into a fine crumb.
Add the melted butter (5 tablespoons) and pulse a few times to combine.
Pour the crumb mixture into a 9-inch pie plate. Use the bottom of a drinking glass or a dry measuring cup to press the crumbs, using medium pressure, down into the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate.
Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and set on wire rack and cool completely.
Make Chocolate Pudding:
Add both boxes of chocolate pudding and heavy cream (2 3/4 cups) to a large mixing bowl.
Using a hand-held electric mixer, beat together on low for about 2 minutes, or until the mixture thickens.
Fold thawed Cool Whip (1 tub) into the pudding mixture until it's evenly combined.
Pour the pie mixture into completely cooled Oreo crust. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
Make It No-Bake! If you swap the homemade Oreo crust with a pre-made chocolate crumb crust, you've got a no-bake pie.
Crust: Pulse the Oreo cookies in a food processor so that there are no large pieces. You can also put the cookies in a plastic storage bag and crush them with a rolling pin. The texture should be like sand. Make sure that the cookie mixture is firmly packed along the bottom and sides of the pie pan so the crust does not crumble when serving.
Freeze To Firm: To get a really nice pie slice with clean edges, freeze the pie for 30 minutes before serving.
Garnish: When ready to serve, top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
