What I love about this pie is how quickly it comes together. You don’t have to spend hours in the kitchen. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a decadent dessert in no time. It’s perfect for busy folks like us who want to serve something special without the hassle!

Perfect for Any Occasion

This chocolate pie is perfect for gatherings of all sizes. It’s a hit with both kids and adults. The little ones love the chocolatey layers, and the grownups appreciate the rich flavor without it being overly sweet. Plus, it’s an ideal make-ahead dessert for potlucks or parties, since it needs to chill in the fridge before serving.

No-Bake Chocolate Pie Recipe

Total Time: 2 hours 10 minutes
Servings: 8

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

36 Oreo cookies (about 1 2/3 cups cookie crumbs)
6 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)

For the Filling:

2 packages (3.9 oz each) Jell-O chocolate flavor instant pudding mix
1 3/4 cups cold whole milk
1 8 oz container thawed frozen whipped topping (like Cool Whip)

For Garnish:

1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Make the Crust:

Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a ziplock bag and rolling with a rolling pin.
Mix the crushed cookies with melted butter until well blended.
Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie dish. Refrigerate the crust for about 30 minutes to set.

2. Make the Filling:

Whisk together both packages of pudding mix and 1 3/4 cups cold milk in a large bowl. Whisk for about 2 minutes, until it becomes thick and smooth.
Spread half of the pudding mixture evenly over the chilled pie crust.

3. Make the Topping:

Fold the remaining pudding with half of the whipped topping until well blended.
Carefully spread this mixture over the pudding layer in the pie crust.

4. Finish the Pie:

Spread the remaining whipped topping evenly over the top of the pie.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow it to chill and set.

5. Garnish & Serve:

Just before serving, sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the top for a fun and delicious garnish.

Notes:

This pie can be stored in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
For longer storage, skip the garnish, cover the pie tightly, and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw it overnight in the fridge before serving.

Enjoy this no-bake chocolate pie with your family and friends – it’s the perfect indulgent treat that’s as easy to make as it is delicious!
