Instructions

Crust Instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
  • Spray a 9 inch deep pie dish with pan spray.
  • Place whole oreos in a food processor and pulse until the oreos are fine cookie crumbs.
  • Add in the melted butter into the food processor and pulse a few times until oreos and butter are well combined.
  • Place mixture in the pie dish and press into the bottom and up the sides.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, then cool completely on a wire rack.

Filling:

  • In a medium saucepan, whisk sugar and eggs together. Cook on medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until mixture coats the back of a metal spoon.
  • Melt bittersweet chocolate (in a glass bowl) in the microwave at 30 second intervals mixing between until melted. Be sure not to overheat chocolate. Chocolate is still melting when you are mixing.
  • Once the sugar and eggs mixture is cooked, add melted chocolate into the mixture. Add in vanilla and mix until smooth. Cool to warm stirring often.
  • While the chocolate is cooling, using a mixer, beat the butter until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Gradually add in the cooled chocolate while mixing with the mixer. Beat on high speed for 5 minutes or until light and fluffy.
  • In a clean bowl, beat the whipping cream with your mixer until it starts to thicken. Add in powdered sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
  • Fold in whipping cream mixture to the chocolate mixture. Make sure it is mixed well.
  • Pour mixture evenly into the pie dish. Refrigerate pie for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Topping:

  • Beat together whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer on high until stiff peaks form.
  • Place on top of pie mixture filling.
  • Top with chocolate shavings if desired.
