Ingredients

25 Oreos
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, full-fat and softened to room temperature
1 ½ cups Nutella
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
6 ounces frozen whipped topping, fully thawed (such as Cool Whip®)
½ cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 chocolate bar (dark or milk) for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Oreo crust by pulsing Oreos (cookies and filling) in a blender or food processor until fine crumbs form. Stir in granulated sugar and cooled melted butter.
Step 2: Spray a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray. Press the Oreo mixture evenly along the bottom and about 1 inch up the sides. Place the crust in the freezer while preparing the filling.
Step 3: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Step 4: Add Nutella, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat for 1 to 3 minutes until fully combined and smooth.
Step 5: Fold in 6 ounces of thawed whipped topping gently with a spatula until the mixture is light and smooth.
Step 6: Pour the Nutella filling into the prepared Oreo crust. Cover and freeze for 1 to 3 hours, or until firm.
Step 7: To make the whipped cream, combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in a chilled bowl. Whisk on low speed, then gradually increase to high until medium to stiff peaks form, about 1 to 3 minutes.
Step 8: Spread the whipped cream over the center of the pie, leaving about 1 to 2 inches of crust showing around the edges. Use a spatula to create texture and dimension.
Step 9: Use a vegetable peeler to shave curls from the chocolate bar and sprinkle them over the whipped cream topping.
Step 10: Return the pie to the freezer uncovered for 10 minutes. Slice into pieces and serve.

Tips & Variations

For a nut-free version, use a chocolate-hazelnut spread substitute that is allergy-friendly.
If you plan to have leftovers, do not top the whole pie with whipped cream as it may become watery. Instead, add whipped cream to individual slices before serving.
You can substitute the Oreo crust with graham cracker crumbs for a different flavor.
For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped toasted hazelnuts on top along with the chocolate curls.

Storage

Store the pie covered in the freezer for up to 5 days. To enjoy, slice while still cold. If topped with whipped cream, serve immediately or separately to avoid sogginess. Defrost slightly before serving for easier slicing.

How to Serve

A slice of chocolate pie with three visible layers sits on a white plate placed on a white marbled surface. The bottom layer is a dark, crumbly chocolate crust, followed by a thick, smooth milk chocolate mousse layer in the middle. On top, there is a thin layer of white whipped cream, garnished with dark chocolate shavings scattered on and around the slice. In the background, a clear glass bottle filled with milk is softly blurred. The lighting is soft and natural, highlighting the textures of the pie. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make this pie ahead of time?

Yes, this pie is great to prepare a day in advance and keep frozen. Just add the whipped cream topping right before serving for best texture.

Can I use a different type of cookie for the crust?

Absolutely. While Oreos are classic, graham crackers or chocolate wafer cookies can also make delicious crusts. Adjust sugar and butter amounts as needed for binding.
