This recipe is inspired by the Crumbl bakery which has been having it on rotation for a little while. They make it with a dark cocoa Oreo chocolate cookie base and top it with a smooth mousse, whipped cream, and chocolate curls.
What is French Silk pie?
A french silk pie is an oreo cookie-crusted pie filled with a very rich, decadent, and creamy chocolate filling, and to finish it all off topped with light whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
It is called silk pie because of how smooth and silky it is.

Ingredients for this Crumbl French Silk Pie Cookies recipe
Here are the ingredients you will need to make this Crumbl dupe. Make sure to scroll down to the recipe card for the full detailed ingredient measurements.
- Oreos– Make sure to use regular Oreos and not the double stuffed or thin ones.
- Flour– AP flour works great here.
- Black cocoa– In the spirit of keeping this cookie the same as the Crumbl Oreo one we will be using black cocoa.
- Baking soda & baking powder– These will give our cookie a little height.
- Cornstarch– This will make the cookies extra tender.
- Salt– The salt will help balance out the sweetness of this recipe.
- Butter– Make sure to use softened butter. You can use either salted or unsalted.
- Brown sugar & granulated sugar- The combination of sugars will help make this cookie extra soft
- Egg– The egg is our binding agent.
- Vanilla extract– The vanilla extract will add extra depth to the cookies and the frosting as well.
- Chocolate pudding- This is used to make the chocolate mousse
- Powdered sugar
- Heavy cream & milk
- Semi-sweet chocolate- We use chocolate in the mousse as well.
- Whipped cream– Make homemade or store-bought.
- Chocolate curls– Optional for decorations
Can I use double-stuff Oreos or thin Oreos for this recipe?
No, make sure to use regular Oreos to keep the texture of these cookies the same. If you use the double stuffed Oreos, the stuffing will bring too much moisture to these cookies and if you use the think ones, there won’t be enough cookies or stuffing to make the exact cookie dough that I made for this recipe. Please stick to the regular oreos.
CAN I USE REGULAR COCOA POWDER INSTEAD OF BLACK COCOA POWDER?
Yes, you can. I prefer using black cocoa to make it really taste like Oreo cookies, but if you are in a pinch and don’t have it, regular will work just fine!

french silk pie crumbl cookie

I made these dairy free and used silk heavy whipping cream and earth balance butter. I didn’t make any other adjustments because I saw the cornstarch in the cookies and everything went well.
Chahinez
That’s great!
BrookS
These were fantastic! I doubled the recipe and I’m currently eating one… two days later. It might be even better than the first day! I wanted a copycat recipe for Crave’s version of this cookie because it’s amazing! I ate one from Crumbl earlier this week and I didn’t actually like theirs nearly as much as Crave. THIS recipe is FOR SURE better than Crumbl! So so good! I will definitely make these again!
Chahinez
That’s awesome! I’m glad you love the recipe 😁
Kristen
I assume you take the filling out of the oreo cookies?
Chahinez
No, keep them 🙂
Charmel
This was sooo good! Taste just like a french silk pie! I make a lot of cookies and this was a family favorite!
Chahinez
That’s awesome! I’m glad it’s a family favorite 🙂
Tracy
Do you use instant chocolate pudding in this recipe?
Chahinez
Yes I do! I have a link to the exact one in same blog!
Natalie K.
These turned out really delicious in the end but the recipe card should really be revised to read “chocolate pudding mix” instead of “chocolate pudding”… I didn’t look in the comments ahead of time so I used prepared pudding and ended up with a curdled mess and had to go to the grocery store to restart the chocolate cream part.
Chahinez
Thanks for me letting me know!
Sarah
These look amazing! Question – in the filling ingredients, is the 2 oz chocolate pudding just the pudding mix or prepared pudding?
Chahinez
It’s just pudding mix!
Cheryl
Is the chocolate pudding supposed to be instant powder or prepared pudding?
Chahinez
Instant powder!
Jess
Big hit in my house! Better than the original! I appreciated the measurements repeated in the recipe so I didn’t have to keep scrolling back up to check them.
Chahinez
Wow! Thank you for the kind words 😄
Jasmine
These look amazing, and I can’t wait to make them! Maybe a silly question, but is the pudding just the dry mix? Or do I make pudding and use 2oz?
Chahinez
Make the pudding and use 2oz 😌
Dee
These cookies are IT! They were so good, and honestly a show-stopper. But I have to say, my favorite thing about your recipes are how you list out all the ingredient amounts in the written out instructions. I’ve never followed an easier recipe. Can’t wait to try more of your recipes!
Chahinez
Thank you for the kind words! 😁
Krysten
I made these cookies for Superbowl Sunday this year. Holy. Crap. They turned out absolutely perfect. Insanely delicious. I topped some of them with a touch of kosher salt *chefs kiss*
I’ve never had Crumbl but I can’t imagine their version being any better than these.
Chahinez
I’m glad you enjoyed the cookies!
Misty
its awesome. only mistake I made was the pie filling. I used pudding cup instead of pudding mix. I couldn’t find which to use. Just seen pudding mix in the picture. But regardless, the taste is awesome.
Chahinez
Thank you for trying the recipe!
Mary
These are SO good! I subbed Dutch processed cocoa for black cocoa and they turned out great. Also added a pinch of salt to the filling to cut the sweetness. Will make again!
Chahinez
Thank you for trying out the recipe!
