Scale
Ingredients (for a 9x2 inch pie dish)
For the Crust:
- 22 Oreo cookies (255 grams), finely crushed (about 2 cups of crumbs)
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
For the Chocolate Filling:
- 4 oz (113 grams) dark chocolate, chopped (50-60% cacao)
- 1 cup (246 grams) heavy whipping cream
- 1 ½ cups (370 grams) heavy whipping cream, cold (for folding and topping)
- ½ cup (65 grams) powdered sugar
- 1 T vanilla extract
- Pinch of kosher salt
2 ½ cups total needed heavy whipping cream
Instructions
Prepare the Crust:
- In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter.
- Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9x2 inch pie dish. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to compact the crust.
- Place the crust in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
Make the Chocolate Filling:
- In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and 1 cup of heavy whipping cream. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and stir occasionally until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Remove the bowl from the heat and let the chocolate mixture cool in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
- In a separate large bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream (1 1/2 cups), powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of kosher salt until stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes. Start on low before increasing speed.
- Once the chocolate mixture has cooled (it can still be a little warm), gently fold in approximately ¾ of your homemade whipped cream until fully combined. Save the rest in the refrigerator for the topping.
Assemble the Pie:
- Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared Oreo crust, spreading it evenly.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or until the filling is set and firm.
Top with Whipped Cream:
- Before serving, take the remaining homemade whipped cream and spread or pipe it over the top of the pie.
- Optionally, garnish with chocolate shavings or curls, and serve with sharp knife.
