Servings 10 -12
Ingredients
- 24 Oreos with filling finely crushed (I use my food processor)
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 oz. BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate roughly chopped
- 1/3 cup canned sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 2 (3.9 oz. each) pkgs. JELL-O Chocolate Flavor Instant Pudding
- 2 1/2 cups cold milk
- 1 (8 oz.) tub Cool Whip Whipped Topping thawed, divided
Instructions
Crust
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine Oreo crumbs and butter in a large bowl and stir until well combined. Pour mixture into a 9” pie plate and firmly press the crumbs into the bottom and up the sides to form an even layer.
Layer 1
- Bake for 8 minutes at 350 degrees F then COOL COMPLETELY before proceeding to the next step. You can bake your pie crust up to a day in advance then cover with foil once cooled.
- Add chocolate, sweetened condensed milk and vegetable oil to a medium bowl and microwave at 50% power at 30 second intervals until melted, stirring in between intervals. Stir until smooth then pour IMMEDIATELY into cooled pie crust. Smooth along the bottom of crust. Set aside.
Layer 2
- Beat pudding mixes and milk with a handheld whisk for 2 minutes (it will be thick). Spoon 1-1/2 cups over chocolate layer and smooth.
Layer 3
- To the remaining pudding, stir in HALF of the Cool Whip. Spread over pudding layer in crust.
Layer 4
- Top with remaining Cool Whip and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, best if overnight.
Garnish (optional)
- Garnish with raspberries (highly recommended!), crushed Oreos and shaved chocolate if desired.
