How to make Decadent Mississippi Mud Pie
- **For the Oreo Crust:** In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter until thoroughly mixed. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
- **For the Chocolate Pudding Layer:** In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Gradually beat in 1 cup of milk until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 cups of milk and the instant chocolate fudge pudding mix for 2 minutes, until thickened. Allow to sit for 5 minutes.
- Fold the cream cheese mixture into the pudding mixture until fully incorporated. Gently fold in the first 8-oz container of Cool Whip (or whipped cream) until no streaks remain.
- Pour the chocolate pudding mixture evenly into the chilled Oreo crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- **Chill:** Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until thoroughly chilled and set.
- **For the Topping & Garnish:** Just before serving, spread the second 8-oz container of Cool Whip (or whipped cream) over the top of the pie. Drizzle generously with chocolate syrup or hot fudge sauce, and garnish with chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips, if desired.
