Oreo Mud Pie: A Decadent Dessert for Chocolate Lovers

In a medium bowl, combine the Oreo cookie crumbs with melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are fully coated.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan, ensuring the crust is evenly distributed along the base and sides.
Refrigerate the crust while you prepare the filling to help it set.
Make the Chocolate Filling:

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Add the heavy whipping cream, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Continue to beat until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
Gradually fold in the melted chocolate chips, mixing until fully incorporated. The filling should be thick and creamy.
Assemble the Pie:

Remove the Oreo crust from the refrigerator and spoon the chocolate filling into the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula to create an even layer.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set properly.
Make the Whipped Topping:

In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Spread the whipped cream over the set chocolate filling, smoothing it out to cover the top of the pie.
Garnish and Serve:

Sprinkle the coarsely crushed Oreos over the whipped topping for added texture and flavor.
Slice and serve chilled.
