Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Oreo cookies (crushed)
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1.5 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cut into small pieces)
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the cookie mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes, then let it cool completely.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and butter. Melt the mixture over a double boiler or in a microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Once melted, whisk in the granulated sugar and 1/2 cup heavy cream until fully combined.
Lightly beat the eggs in a separate bowl. Gradually whisk them into the chocolate mixture along with the vanilla extract.
Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled crust. Bake in the oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly fudgy in the center. Let the pie cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
For the topping, whip the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar on high speed until stiff peaks form. Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled pie.
Optional: Garnish with chocolate shavings for an extra decorative touch.
Slice and serve cold. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
