Introduction

This Thanksgiving Chocolate Oreo Pie is a rich and creamy dessert that’s perfect for chocolate lovers. Combining a crunchy Oreo crust with a smooth, chocolatey filling, it’s both easy to make and sure to impress your guests.

The image shows a three-layered pie on a white plate set on a white marbled surface. The bottom layer is a dark, crumbly cookie crust. Above it is a thick, smooth chocolate filling that looks rich and creamy. The top layer is a bright white whipped cream spread evenly over the chocolate layer. Swirls of whipped cream decorate the edges of the pie, each topped with half pieces of black sandwich cookies, standing up around the pie's circle. Some cookie crumbs and small drizzles of chocolate sauce are scattered on top of the whipped cream, adding texture and detail. A slice has been removed, showing the even layers inside clearly, and some crumbs are left on the plate. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

24 Oreo cookies (regular, not Double Stuf)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup powdered sugar
1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted and slightly cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
Optional garnish: crushed Oreos, chocolate shavings, whipped cream swirls

Instructions

Step 1: Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or place them in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin. Mix the crumbs with melted butter until combined.
Step 2: Press the Oreo mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Place in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
Step 3: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Stir in the melted chocolate chips and vanilla extract until the mixture is fully incorporated.
Step 5: Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until no streaks remain. The filling should be light and fluffy.
Step 6: Pour the filling into the chilled Oreo crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 7: Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours or overnight until firm.
Step 8: Before serving, garnish with crushed Oreos, chocolate shavings, or whipped cream swirls as desired. Slice and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

Use room-temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth, lump-free filling.
Make the pie a day ahead to let the flavors meld and ensure it sets properly.
For a mint twist, add a teaspoon of peppermint extract to the filling.
Substitute the Oreo crust with your favorite cookie crumbs for variety.

Storage

Store the pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat is not recommended as the texture is best enjoyed chilled and creamy.

FAQs

Can I use Double Stuf Oreos for the crust?

Yes, Double Stuf Oreos can be used, but the crust will be slightly sweeter and softer due to the extra filling.

Can I make this pie dairy-free?

This recipe relies on cream cheese and whipped topping, which contain dairy. For a dairy-free version, look for suitable plant-based cream cheese and whipped toppings as alternatives.
