If you’re in the mood for something creamy, chocolatey, and downright satisfying—this Oreo Pudding Pie is it. It’s rich, fluffy like mousse, and easy enough to whip up when you’re short on time but still want to impress. This no-bake dessert is a crowd-pleaser, perfect for holidays, birthdays, or just because you’re craving Oreos.
A Classic Pudding Pie, the Easy Way
Pudding pies have been around forever, and for good reason—they’re simple and delicious. While you can go the homemade route, I’ve found that using instant pudding mix and heavy cream gives you the best of both worlds: less effort and that thick, mousse-like texture we all love.
And unlike many recipes that rely on milk, using heavy cream instead makes the filling richer and holds up beautifully when chilled. If you’ve got a stand mixer, this is one of those times you’ll want to bring it out. It helps whip everything up to just the right consistency before folding in those Oreos and Cool Whip.

How to Make Oreo Pudding Pie
Step 1: Make the Oreo Crust
Toss the whole Oreos (cream included) into a blender or food processor and pulse them into fine crumbs. Pour in melted butter and stir until combined. Press this mixture into a pie dish using the bottom of a measuring cup or glass to pack it down firmly.
Step 2: Make the Filling
Whisk the instant pudding mix with heavy cream. It’ll get very thick quickly—don’t worry, that’s what you want! A stand mixer makes this easier, but a hand mixer works too.
Once it’s thick and creamy, fold in chopped Oreos and Cool Whip. The Cool Whip softens everything up into a fluffy, mousse-like consistency. Spread this delicious filling right over your crust.
Step 3: Add the Topping
Top the pie with more whipped cream (homemade or extra Cool Whip) and a generous sprinkle of crushed Oreos. Chill in the fridge until set.
How to Store Leftovers
This pie needs to be kept cold. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap and store it in the fridge for up to 4–5 days. If you’d rather enjoy it as a frozen dessert, pop it in the freezer and let it thaw for a few minutes before serving.
Time Breakdown
- 3 minutes for the crust
- 5 minutes for the filling
- 5 minutes for the whipped topping
- Chill time: 4 to 8 hours
Making It Gluten-Free
It’s super easy to make this pie gluten-free—just swap in gluten-free Oreos for the crust. The rest of the ingredients are naturally gluten-free, so you’re good to go.
Can I Skip the Cool Whip?
Yes, absolutely. If you prefer homemade whipped cream, you can replace the Cool Whip with about 3 cups (or 8 oz) of freshly whipped cream. It works beautifully and gives a slightly fresher flavor.
Extra Tips for Success
- The pudding mixture will be very thick before adding Cool Whip—don’t worry, that’s how it should be.
- A skinny, sharp knife will give you the cleanest slices.
- Use two regular-sized pudding boxes (3.4 oz or 3.9 oz), not the larger family-size versions.
Serving Suggestions
Serve each slice with a little extra whipped cream and a mini Oreo on top if you want to dress it up. This pie is great on its own, but also pairs well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.

Oreo Pudding
Oreo pudding pie is a simple no-bake dessert perfect for any occasion! This pudding-based pie is thick, fluffy, and has a mousse-like consistency. It requires just 8 ingredients and about 20 minutes to prepare.
Ingredients
Crust
- 32 Oreos (about one 14.3 oz package)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- Two 3.4 oz boxes instant vanilla pudding mix
- 3 cups (710 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 8 oz cool whip, thawed
- 2 cups (240 g) chopped Oreos (about 18 cookies, from a second 14.3 oz package)
Topping
- 1 cup (236 ml) heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup (28 g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Crust
- Use a blender or food processor to pulse the Oreos (including the cream filling) until finely crushed.
- In a large bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with the melted butter. Press this mixture evenly into a 9- or 10-inch pie pan. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to press the crust firmly into place. Chill in the fridge until ready to fill.
Filling
- In a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, combine the pudding mix and heavy whipping cream using an electric mixer. Do not prepare the pudding mix according to the box instructions. Mixing with cream results in a thick consistency.
- Add the cool whip and crushed Oreos, then mix on low speed until well combined. Spread this filling evenly over the prepared crust. The mixture will become creamier and fluffier once the cool whip is added.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4–8 hours.
Topping
- Before serving, place a metal or glass mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Remove from the freezer and add the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer for 4–5 minutes or until stiff peaks form. The whipped cream should be scoopable and hold its shape.
- Spoon onto the pie and finish with a topping of crushed Oreos
Notes
- A standard 14.3 oz package of Oreos contains 36 cookies. For this recipe, one full package is used for the crust. Another 18 Oreos (about 2 cups when chopped) are used in the filling. The remaining 18 cookies from the second package can be crushed and used to garnish the top of the pie.
