One bite of its creamy cheesecake layer, rich chocolate base, and orange-tinted pudding told me this was the Halloween dessert I had to master. It’s ready in just a few minutes of mixing and layering, and delivers sweet satisfaction, playful presentation, and no stress in every slice.

Fun Fact
Cream pies like this one draw inspiration from American custard-based desserts, traditionally topped with whipped cream. The Halloween twist—with orange pudding, Oreos, and candy corn—came from home bakers adding spooky flair using pantry staples. It’s now a Halloween favorite, much like these Pumpkin Oatmeal Cream Pies and Creepy Crunchy Monster Candy Bark.
Ingredients for No Bake Halloween Cream Pie
Main Ingredients:
- 1 Oreo cookie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 4 oz semi-sweet baking chocolate, melted
- 8 oz container Cool Whip, thawed and divided
- 4 Oreo cookies, chopped into chunks

Optional Add-ins:

Step-by-Step Instructions
Make the Cream Cheese Layer
Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add melted chocolate and blend until fully combined.
Tip: Make sure your cream cheese is softened for best texture.
Fold in Mix-ins
Fold in 1/4 cup of Cool Whip and the chopped Oreos. Spread this layer evenly into the Oreo crust.
Whip Up the Pudding Layer
Whisk pudding mix with milk until thick, then fold in 1 cup of Cool Whip. Add orange gel food coloring to get that Halloween hue.
Spread the Layers
Spread the orange pudding gently over the cream cheese layer using a spatula.
Top with Swirls
Use a disposable piping bag with a 1M tip to swirl remaining Cool Whip on top.
Chill and Decorate
Refrigerate for 4–6 hours before serving. Add mini Oreos and candy corn right before slicing.
Try this chilling combo after enjoying Pumpkin Fudge or a slice of Pumpkin Cheesecake Cookie.
Pro Tips for Pie Perfection
- Always soften cream cheese ahead of time for smoother mixing
- Use a food processor for a finer cookie crumb (if making homemade crust)
- Add pudding gently to avoid deflating the Cool Whip
- Chill fully for clean slices
- Decorate just before serving for best presentation
Delicious Variations
- White Chocolate Swap: Use white chocolate in the base for a ghostly twist
- Green Goo Center: Tint pudding green instead of orange for a “slime” surprise
- Ganache & Web: Top with chocolate ganache and pipe a white chocolate spider web
- Cookie Switch: Use Halloween Oreos or even graham crackers for a crust change
Serving Suggestions
