Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 24 Oreo cookies, crushed
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces (226 grams) semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) heavy cream
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Garnish:
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder
- Crushed Oreos
Instructions
- Pulverize Oreo cookies into fine crumbs, blending thoroughly with melted butter to create a cohesive base mixture.
- Compress the cookie mixture firmly and uniformly into a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring an even layer across the bottom and sides.
- Chill the prepared crust in the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes to solidify its structure and enhance stability.
- Warm heavy cream in a saucepan until tiny bubbles form around the edges, indicating it’s just reaching a gentle simmer.
- Remove cream from heat and immediately add chopped chocolate, allowing it to rest for 60 seconds to facilitate smooth melting.
- Whisk the chocolate and cream together until achieving a glossy, uniform consistency with no visible chocolate chunks.
- Incorporate sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into the chocolate mixture, stirring until completely integrated.
- Carefully transfer the silky chocolate filling into the chilled Oreo crust, using a spatula to distribute evenly and eliminate air pockets.
- Refrigerate the pie for a minimum of 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow complete setting and flavor development.
- Prior to serving, garnish with billowy whipped cream, delicate chocolate shavings, or crumbled Oreo cookies for added texture and visual appeal.
Notes
- Chill the crust thoroughly to prevent crumbling and ensure a solid base that holds together perfectly when slicing.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for a richer, more intense flavor that elevates the entire dessert experience.
- Create a gluten-free version by substituting regular Oreos with gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies and checking butter ingredients.
- Enhance the texture by adding a thin layer of chocolate ganache between the crust and filling for an extra luxurious touch.
