Ingredients
- For the Crust:
- 30 Oreo cookies
- 6 tbsp salted butter
- For the Filling:
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 ½ cups half and half
- 6 large egg yolks
- 4 tbsp salted butter, in pieces
- 8 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- For the Whipped Cream:
- 1 cup heavy cream (very cold)
- 3 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- Optional Garnish:
- Crushed Oreos or chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Make the Crust: Place the Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse until crumbly. Melt the butter and add it to the cookies. Pulse until thoroughly combined. Press this mixture into a springform pan, covering the bottom and slightly up the sides. Use the bottom of a glass to press the crumbs down. Place the crust in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
- Make the Filling: In a large saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and cocoa powder. In a separate bowl, whisk the half and half and egg yolks. Gradually add this mixture to the saucepan, whisking constantly. Heat the saucepan over medium-high heat, whisking constantly until the mixture starts to bubble. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 1 minute, scraping the bottom and sides frequently. Remove from heat and add the butter, chocolate, and vanilla. Stir until smooth. Pour this filling into the chilled crust and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
- Make the Whipped Cream: In a cold mixing bowl, combine the cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until peaks form, then add cornstarch and continue beating until the peaks are stiff.
- Assemble the Pie: Once the pie has chilled for at least 6 hours, top it with the whipped cream. Garnish with crushed Oreos or chocolate shavings, if desired.
