Tips to Make Dirt Pie

Make sure the cream cheese is softened to mix easily with the sugar and whipped topping.
You can crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor for a finer crumb if you prefer.
Let the pie chill longer than 2 hours if you can; it helps the flavors mix and makes it firmer.

Variation

You can add a layer of your favorite candy, such as chopped Snickers or Reese’s, in between the layers for a twist. If you want a different flavor, try using vanilla pudding instead of chocolate!
