Ingredients
- 1 package (15.5 oz) Oreo cookies, crushed
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 package (3.9 oz) chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup toasted coconut, for garnish
How to Make Chocolate Cream Pie
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the Oreo mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and whole milk. Continue to whisk until the mixture thickens and bubbles, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled Oreo crust, spreading it evenly. Place the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.
- While the pie is chilling, prepare the whipped topping. In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, beat on high speed until soft peaks form.
- Once the pie has set, spread the whipped cream over the chocolate filling. Garnish with toasted coconut before serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure to let the pie crust cool completely before adding the filling to prevent it from becoming soggy.
- For an extra rich flavor, use dark chocolate pudding mix.
- If you prefer a sweeter whipped cream, add more powdered sugar to taste.
- To toast coconut, spread it on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown.
Easy Variations
- Swap the Oreo crust for a traditional pie crust or graham cracker crust for a different flavor profile.
- Add a layer of sliced bananas or strawberries underneath the whipped cream for a fruity twist.
- Drizzle melted chocolate or caramel sauce over the whipped cream for added decadence.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh berries, such as strawberries or raspberries, for a tart contrast
- A scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice cream for extra creaminess
- Coffee or espresso to balance the sweetness of the pie
- A glass of cold milk for a classic pairing
