Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 24 Oreo cookies (for crust)
- 2 cups (480 milliliters/16.2 fluid ounces) chocolate ice cream
- 1 box (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 ¾ cups (420 milliliters/14.2 fluid ounces) cold milk
Dairy and Cream Components:
- 6 tablespoons (85 grams) unsalted butter
- ½ cup (125 grams) hot fudge sauce
- 1 cup (240 milliliters/8.1 fluid ounces) heavy cream
- ¼ cup (30 grams) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish:
- ½ cup (75 grams) crushed Oreos
- Chocolate shavings (optional)
- Hot fudge sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Create a crumbly foundation by pulverizing Oreo cookies and blending with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the cookie mixture firmly into a pie dish, ensuring an even coverage along the bottom and sides, creating a sturdy base.
- Rapidly chill the crust in the freezer for quarter of an hour to solidify its structure.
- Extract softened chocolate ice cream and carefully spread it across the chilled Oreo foundation, using a spatula to produce a smooth, uniform layer.
- Return the pie to the freezer, allowing the ice cream to re-harden for approximately half an hour.
- Prepare the chocolate pudding by whisking the mix with cold milk until it transforms into a thick, lustrous consistency.
- Gently distribute the pudding over the ice cream layer, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Briefly return the dessert to the freezer to allow the pudding to set and slightly firm.
- Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until it forms elegant, stable peaks.
- Lavishly cover the pudding layer with the whipped cream, creating a cloud-like topping.
- Embellish the surface with crushed Oreo fragments and optional chocolate shavings or a decadent hot fudge drizzle.
- Freeze the entire dessert for a minimum of two hours to achieve perfect integration of layers.
- Before serving, allow the pie to rest at room temperature for ten minutes to soften slightly, then slice and enjoy.
Notes
- Soften ice cream slightly before spreading to ensure smooth, even coverage without tearing the crust.
- Use a clean, warm knife when cutting through frozen layers to get neat, clean slices.
- Crush Oreos finely for a more uniform crust texture that binds together perfectly.
- Switch to dairy-free alternatives like coconut milk ice cream and vegan pudding mix for a plant-based version of this decadent dessert.
