Ingredients
Crust:
- 32 Oreos
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
Filling:
- 8 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream (for ganache)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/3 cups heavy whipping cream (for chocolate whipped cream)
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Whipped Cream Topping:
- 1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1.5 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Ganache: Combine the chopped bittersweet chocolate and 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 25-second increments, stirring thoroughly after each, until nearly melted. Stir until fully smooth and set aside to cool completely.
- Prepare the Oreo Crust: Process the Oreos in a food processor until they form fine crumbs without chunks. Mix the crumbs with the melted butter until well combined. Firmly press this mixture into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Freeze for about 30 minutes to set.
- Prepare the Chocolate Whipped Cream Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/3 cups heavy whipping cream, cocoa powder, sugar, and vanilla. Using an electric mixer, beat until stiff peaks start to form. Gently fold the cooled ganache into this chocolate whipped cream until fully blended and no streaks remain.
- Assemble the Pie: Spread the chocolate whipped cream mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust. Refrigerate for about 4 hours, allowing the pie to set properly.
- Prepare the Whipped Cream Topping: Just before serving (or once the chocolate filling has set), beat the heavy whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla together until stiff peaks form. Spread this whipped cream over the chocolate layer, reaching the edges for full coverage.
- Garnish and Serve: Decorate the whipped cream topping with chocolate curls, chocolate sprinkles, or chopped Oreos as desired. Keep the pie chilled until ready to serve.
- Slicing Tips: For easier slicing, warm your knife by running it under hot water for 30 seconds and wipe clean between cuts. This helps achieve clean slices without cracking the crust.
Notes
- Use a warm knife for cleaner slices; heating your knife under hot water before slicing helps prevent breaking the crust.
- You may line your pie pan with parchment paper or plastic wrap for easier removal and cleaner slices.
- If pressed for time, you can substitute the fresh whipped cream topping with store-bought Cool Whip, though the texture will be slightly different.
- Store-bought Oreo crusts are typically smaller; if using one, keep an extra crust on hand to accommodate the filling volume.
- This pie is rich, so it’s best served in smaller slices; recipe yields about 10 slices but can be divided into 8 or more as preferred.
