Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreo, crushed into crumbs)
- 60 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
- 340 grams Semi-sweet chocolate (chopped)
- 240 ml Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles damp sand.
Press the cookie mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. Remove and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the chopped semi-sweet chocolate and salt. Let sit for 2-3 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy.
Stir in the vanilla extract until evenly incorporated.
Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled cookie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm and set.
Optional: Before serving, top with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder for an extra touch of elegance.
