Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 20 Oreo cookies (230 grams, regular-stuffed, keep filling intact)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Chocolate Filling

  • 1 1/3 cups (266 grams) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 8 ounces (227 grams) bittersweet baking chocolate, melted
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 10 tablespoons (142 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature

Whipped Cream Topping

  • 1 1/3 cups heavy cream, cold
  • 4 teaspoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream, cold
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Garnish

  • Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder, for garnish if desired

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Crush the Oreo cookies finely, including the filling, then mix the crumbs with 3 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling to help it set properly.
  2. Make the chocolate filling: In a heatproof bowl, melt the bittersweet baking chocolate gently over a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth. In a separate large bowl, beat the 4 large eggs and granulated sugar together until thick and fluffy. Slowly add the melted chocolate and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract while continuing to beat. Incorporate the 10 tablespoons of room temperature unsalted butter a tablespoon at a time, mixing thoroughly until the filling is silky and smooth.
  3. Chill the filling: Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared Oreo crust. Cover the pie tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the filling to set firmly.
  4. Prepare the whipped cream topping: In a large bowl, beat 1 1/3 cups cold heavy cream with 4 teaspoons powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until medium to stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, beat the additional 1 cup cold heavy cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar until soft peaks form. The second whipped cream portion can be spooned or piped generously onto the chilled pie just before serving.
  5. Assemble and garnish: Spoon or pipe the whipped cream topping evenly over the set chocolate filling. Garnish with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder for a beautiful finishing touch. Keep the pie refrigerated until ready to serve.
