Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
  • 1 box (about 18 ounces) fudge brownie mix (prepared according to package directions for a fudgy layer)
  • Chocolate shavings, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the brownie mix according to package directions for a fudgy result. Bake in a 9×13 inch pan. Let the brownie cool completely, then cut it into small, irregular pieces.
  2. Prepare the crust: Mix the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and melted butter together until combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Chill the crust for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Prepare the pudding layer: In a large bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract. Gently fold in half of the thawed whipped topping.
  4. Assemble the pie: Spread the cooled brownie pieces evenly over the chilled crust. Pour the chocolate pudding mixture over the brownie layer, spreading it gently to cover.
  5. Chill the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the pudding is firm.
  6. Before serving, top the pie with the remaining whipped topping. Garnish with chocolate shavings. Slice and serve cold.

Notes

  • You can use a graham cracker crust instead of the chocolate cookie crust for a different texture.
  • For an extra rich flavor, use dark chocolate pudding instead of regular chocolate pudding.
  • This pie is best made ahead of time, allowing the layers to set properly.
