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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Once melted, whisk in the granulated sugar and 1/2 cup heavy cream until fully combined.

Step 6

Lightly beat the eggs in a separate bowl. Gradually whisk them into the chocolate mixture along with the vanilla extract.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Optional: Garnish with chocolate shavings for an extra decorative touch.

Step 10

Slice and serve cold. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
