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!

Notes
Notes
- Black cocoa is a very dark, Dutch-processed cocoa powder (similar to the flavor in Oreos). If you can’t find it, you can substitute regular Dutch-process cocoa, but the cookies will be lighter in color and slightly different in taste.
- Pudding — use instant chocolate pudding mix, not the kind you cook. The recipe calls for 2 oz (dry mix only) straight from the packet. Do not prepare the pudding beforehand.
- Make-ahead option — you can refrigerate the cookie dough (covered) for up to 24 hours or freeze it for up to 2 months. If baking from frozen, add 1–2 extra minutes to the bake time.
- Cookie size — for large cookies, use a large (about 4 tbsp) cookie scoop; for mini cookies, use a small (about 2 tbsp) scoop.
- Indentation tip — press the center while the cookies are still warm using a measuring cup to create the “pie crust” look.
- Storage — store cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Best enjoyed at room temperature.

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.
Thanks for me letting me know!
These look amazing! Question – in the filling ingredients, is the 2 oz chocolate pudding just the pudding mix or prepared pudding?
It’s just pudding mix!
Is the chocolate pudding supposed to be instant powder or prepared pudding?
Instant powder!
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.
Wow! Thank you for the kind words 😄
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?
Make the pudding and use 2oz 😌
In the above comments you said just to use the pudding mix, here you’re saying make the pudding first and just use two ounces. Please clarify because I would like to make these this week for a coworkers birthday.
Hi Judith! Thanks for catching that, it’s instant chocolate pudding mix (dry), not prepared pudding. You just add the dry mix to the cream and milk.
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!
Thank you for the kind words! 😁
so you make the instant pudding and use the mixture? I’ve read in previous comments that’s it’s just the dry mix? I’m slightly confused now
Hi! To clarify, you’re taking the dry pudding mix and combining it with the milk, cream, and other ingredients listed 🙂
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.
I’m glad you enjoyed the cookies!
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.
Thank you for trying the recipe!
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!
Thank you for trying out the recipe!
Is the chocolate pudding already made, or do you mean a pudding mix?
Thanks!
Hi Merissa! It’s pudding mix, just the dry instant chocolate pudding powder, not already-made pudding.
