Very good pie! We our going to a friend's house for dinner on Sat. & they requested this pie when I asked if I could bring something. We used shortbread crust the last time we saw them but will use the oreo this time. Thank you!

Very good! Easy to make, I did make cook & serve pudding and added that into to the recipe instead of instant pudding..it worked great. I also put more cream cheese on the bottom layer of the pie. I added crushed oreo's to the pudding mixture. A great recipe with that can be adjusted so everyone will like it! Great post - thanks for sharing!

I loved how simple this was to pull together. I did end up putting the filling into just one oreo crust so it would be nice and tall, and I chopped up some dark chocolate and added it to one of the layers to add a bit of texture. The only other thing I did differently was to put this in the freezer for several hours as it was a bit softer than I prefer when it was refrigerated. The freezer kept it beautifully and it was more of a cheesecake density and less like the consistency of pudding. I'm gonna make this again with different flavors and add-ins - very yummy!
