Instructions
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl combine 2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs (about 22–24 whole Oreos) and 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter. Stir until well combined and the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-inch pie dish. Place the pie dish in the freezer for 20 minutes to set the crust.
- While the crust chills, pour 1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix into a large mixing bowl. Add 1 1/2 cups half and half and whisk for 1–2 minutes until the mixture starts to thicken. Let the pudding sit 5 minutes to thicken further.
- Stir 1 cup Oreo cookie crumbs (about 11–12 whole Oreos) and 8 ounces thawed Cool Whip into the pudding mixture until fully combined and uniform.
- Transfer the chocolate filling into the chilled Oreo crust and spread it evenly. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to set.
- Just before serving, remove the pie from the refrigerator and sprinkle 1/2 cup Oreo cookie crumbs (about 6–8 whole Oreos) evenly over the top to create the "dirt" layer.
- Garnish the pie with RIP cookies, spiders, 6 gummy worms, and edible eyes as desired.
Notes
If you do not have a food processor, just put the Oreo cookies into a ziplock baggie and smash them with a rolling pin or meat tenderizer. You could even use a can of veggies. Use freezer bags because they are thicker and will not break open.
Make sure you use instant pudding mixture and not cook and serve pudding. It will not set properly unless you use instant.
For faster prep, I sometimes buy a store-bought Oreo crust instead of making my own.
When I use unsalted butter I add ¼ teaspoon salt in with the crushed cookies and butter.
You can use cold milk instead of half and half but make sure it is whole milk.
