Ingredients
Hot fudge topping
1/2 cup (divided)
Oreo pie crust
1 (6 oz.)
Cool Whip
8 oz. (thawed, divided)
Cold milk
1 1/4 cups
Jell-O Oreo flavor instant pudding and pie filling
2 (3 1/2 oz. each package)
Instructions
1
Heat 1/2 cup of fudge topping slightly. If cold, remove the cap and microwave for 30 seconds on High to make it spreadable. Place 2 tablespoons aside for drizzling later.
2
Spoon the rest of the warmed fudge topping into the Oreo pie crust and spread evenly to cover the bottom. Add half of the thawed Cool Whip over the fudge layer, spreading it evenly. Place this in the freezer for about 10 minutes to set.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cold milk and dry pudding mixes. Beat them together using a wire whisk for about 2 minutes or until the mixture thickens. Gently fold in the remaining Cool Whip until fully combined.
4
Remove the pie from the freezer and pour the pudding mixture over the chilled whipped topping layer, ensuring an even spread. Return to the freezer for at least 4 hours until the pie is firm.
5
To prepare for serving, take the pie out of the freezer and let it sit for 15 minutes. Drizzle the reserved fudge topping decoratively over the top. For easy drizzling, place the fudge in a resealable plastic bag, snip a tiny corner, and squeeze the chocolate back and forth over the pie.
6
Store any leftover pie in the refrigerator to maintain its creamy texture.
