¾ cup sifted powdered sugar: This sweetens the cream cheese and helps create a smooth filling.

Instructions

Create the Oreos crust: In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups crushed Oreo cookies with 6 tablespoons melted salted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well combined with the butter. Press this mixture into a 9-inch pie plate to form an even layer. Ensure it’s tightly packed and chill the crust in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set.
Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In another bowl, blend 8 oz softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add ¾ cup sifted powdered sugar, beating until fully combined and creamy.
Make the chocolate pudding: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together 1½ cups cold milk and 3.9 oz instant chocolate pudding mix until thickened, usually about 2 minutes.
Add crushed Oreos: Stir in 1 cup crushed Oreos to the pudding mixture until well combined, creating a delicious chocolatey filling.
Combine and fold: Gently fold in 8 oz thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. Then, combine this mixture with the chocolate pudding mixture until smooth and creamy.
Fill the crust: Spread the filling mixture evenly into the prepared Oreo crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Final touch: Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup crushed Oreos on top of the filling to create a ‘dirt’ effect. Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Serve: Before serving, place 2-3 gummy worms on each slice for decoration. Enjoy your delightful treat!
