This Oreo mud pie is creamy, chocolatey, and full of cookies-and-cream goodness. I love how simple it is to make with just a handful of ingredients, yet it feels like a decadent dessert that always impresses. It’s one of those no-bake recipes I turn to when I want something sweet, easy, and crowd-pleasing.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love this recipe because it’s quick, no-fuss, and always delicious. The chocolate pudding makes it rich and smooth, the Cool Whip adds lightness, and the crushed Oreos give the perfect crunchy contrast. I also like that it’s no-bake, so I can whip it up ahead of time and keep it chilled until I’m ready to serve.

Servings and timing
This recipe makes about 12 servings. Prep takes only 15 minutes, and chilling takes at least 2 hours.
Variations
Sometimes I add a drizzle of chocolate syrup between layers for extra richness. If I want a peanut butter twist, I mix in a few spoonfuls of peanut butter with the pudding layer. I also like adding mini Oreos on top for decoration.
Storage/Reheating
I store Oreo mud pie in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days. Since it’s a chilled dessert, I don’t reheat it—just serve straight from the fridge.
FAQs
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, I can prepare it a day in advance and keep it chilled until ready to serve.
Can I use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip?
Yes, I can substitute sweetened whipped cream, though the texture will be a little lighter and less stable.
Can I use double-stuffed Oreos?
Yes, I sometimes use double-stuffed Oreos for a sweeter, creamier cookie layer.
Can I add cream cheese to the filling?
Yes, I sometimes mix softened cream cheese with the pudding and Cool Whip for a richer, cheesecake-like layer.
Can I freeze Oreo mud pie?
I don’t recommend freezing it because the texture of the pudding and whipped topping changes. It’s best enjoyed fresh from the fridge.

The layers of chocolate pudding, whipped topping, and crushed Oreos make every bite creamy, crunchy, and indulgent.
