  • Total Time: 3 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Crust

  • 14.3 ounce package Oreos
  • 8 ounces butter, melted

Chocolate Filling

  • 8 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
  • 4 ounces unsweetened or semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1¼ cups sugar
  • 2 tablespoons corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs

Whipped Cream Topping

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Optional Garnish

  • Chocolate shavings

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare crust: Preheat your oven to 375ºF. Combine the Oreo cookies and melted butter in a food processor, processing for about 2 to 3 minutes until finely ground and well combined. Transfer the crumbs to a 9-inch springform pan and press the mixture evenly across the bottom and about 1½ inches up the sides to form the crust.
  2. Bake crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until set. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Melt butter and chocolate: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and chopped chocolate together, stirring constantly until smooth and fully melted. Remove from heat to prevent overheating.
  4. Add dry ingredients and sugar: Stir in the flour and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Then add the sugar, corn syrup, and vanilla extract, stirring thoroughly to incorporate all ingredients.
  5. Incorporate eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition until the chocolate mixture is silky and homogeneous.
  6. Bake filling: Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared Oreo crust. Return the pan to the oven and bake at 375ºF for 30 minutes, or until the filling is set and your top shows characteristic cracks.
  7. Cool pie: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature, about 2 hours, to let the filling fully set.
  8. Prepare whipped cream: While the pie cools, combine the heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl. Cover with cling wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  9. Whip cream: Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat the chilled cream mixture until stiff peaks form, ensuring a fluffy, stable whipped cream topping.
  10. Assemble and garnish: Spread the whipped cream evenly over the cooled pie. Optionally, decorate with chocolate shavings for an elegant finish. Slice and serve.

Notes

  • Use a springform pan for easier removal of the pie.
  • Make sure the pie is completely cool before adding the whipped cream to prevent it from melting.
  • Chocolate shavings are optional but add both texture and visual appeal.
  • Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a firmer crust, chill the crust before baking it.
