Ingredients
Crust
- 2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs (about 22 whole Oreos)
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Filling
- 1 3.9 ounce box instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 ½ cups whole milk (cold)
- 1 cup Oreo cookie crumbs (about 11 whole Oreos)
- 1 8 ounce tub whipped topping, thawed
Topping
- ½ cup Oreo cookie crumbs (about 6 whole Oreos)
- 8-10 gummy worms
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups of Oreo cookie crumbs, the melted butter, and salt. Mix thoroughly until well combined and the crumbs are evenly coated with butter.
- Form the Crust: Transfer the crumb mixture to an ungreased 9-inch pie dish. Firmly press the mixture into an even layer covering the bottom and sides of the pie dish to create the crust.
- Chill the Crust: Place the crust in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling. This helps it firm up for a sturdy base.
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold whole milk until the pudding thickens, forming a smooth, creamy mixture.
- Add Oreo Crumbs: Gently fold 1 cup of Oreo cookie crumbs into the pudding mixture, distributing them evenly for texture.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Carefully fold the thawed whipped topping into the pudding and crumb mixture to create a light, fluffy filling.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the pudding filling into the chilled Oreo crust and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
- Chill the Pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least two hours to allow it to set properly and enhance the flavors.
- Add the Topping: Just before serving, sprinkle the remaining ½ cup Oreo cookie crumbs over the top of the pie and decorate with 8-10 gummy worms to mimic dirt and worms.
- Serve: Cut the pie into slices and serve chilled for the best texture and flavor experience.
Notes
- Use cold milk for best pudding texture and consistency.
- Ensure the whipped topping is fully thawed before folding into the pudding to avoid lumps.
- The pie should be kept refrigerated until serving to maintain its structure.
- For a firmer crust, you can chill the crust for up to 30 minutes before adding filling.
- Gummy worms add a fun decorative and thematic touch, but can be omitted if desired.
