Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Oreo cookie crumbs
• 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.33 cups Hershey's cocoa powder
• 0.67 cups Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 3.5 cups Whole milk
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 bar Hershey's chocolate bar, shaved

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Oreo cookie crumbs and 5 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, 2/3 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add 1/2 cup of whole milk to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth and lump-free. Then whisk in the remaining 3 cups of milk.

Step 7

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to boil.

Step 8

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks together. Slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot chocolate mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

Step 9

Pour the tempered yolks back into the saucepan with the remaining chocolate mixture. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened.

Step 10

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter and the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 11

Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared and cooled pie crust. Smooth the surface with a spatula and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

Step 12

In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form.

Step 13

Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled chocolate filling.

Step 14

Garnish the pie with shaved Hershey's chocolate for a decorative touch.

Step 15

Slice and serve chilled for a luxurious chocolate dessert experience.
