Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 cookies Oreo cookies (for crust)
- 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted, for crust)
- 6 ounces Dark chocolate (chopped)
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened, for filling)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 eggs Large eggs
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate shavings (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Make the crust: Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and rolling with a rolling pin.
Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a mixing bowl, add the melted butter, and stir until combined.
Press the mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie pan, covering the bottom and sides to form the crust.
Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and let it cool completely.
Melt the chopped dark chocolate using a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Gradually add the granulated sugar to the butter, beating until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Scrape down the bowl as needed.
Add the melted chocolate to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well combined.
One at a time, add the eggs to the chocolate mixture, beating for 5 minutes after each egg addition. This step ensures a silky texture, so don't skip the timing.
Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Make the whipped cream topping: In a cold bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.
Spread or pipe the whipped cream evenly over the firm chocolate filling.
Garnish with dark chocolate shavings, if desired.
Refrigerate until ready to serve. Slice and enjoy your French Silk Pudding Pie!
