Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 (277 grams) oreo cookies, (regular-stuffed, keep filling intact)
  • 5 tablespoons (71 grams) unsalted butter, (melted)
  • 2/3 cup (133 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup (28 grams) dutch-process cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup (35 grams) cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 3 cups (720 grams) whole milk
  • 4 ounces (113 grams) semisweet chocolate, (finely chopped)
  • 4 ounces (113 grams) bittersweet chocolate (finely chopped)
  • 3 tablespoons (42 grams) unsalted butter, (cubed)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240 grams) chilled heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons (15 grams) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • cocoa powder or chocolate curls, (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a food processor, pulse the Oreo cookies until finely ground.
  3. Add the melted butter and pulse until combined. Press this mixture into the pie dish.
  4. Bake for 11 to 12 minutes until set and fragrant. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  5. In a saucepan, combine the sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, and salt.
  6. Gradually add about ½ cup of milk, whisking until smooth. Add the remaining milk.
  7. Heat over medium-high, whisking constantly until boiling, about 7 to 9 minutes. Cook for an additional 45 seconds.
  8. Remove from heat, stir in the chopped chocolates, butter, and vanilla until smooth. Pour into the cooled crust without smoothing.
  9. Cool on a wire rack for about 90 minutes, then refrigerate uncovered for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  10. Whip the cream in a bowl until it thickens, about 1 minute. Add sugar and vanilla, whipping until stiff peaks form.
  11. Spread the whipped cream over the pie and garnish with cocoa or chocolate curls. Slice and serve.

Notes

The pie can be made up to 2 days in advance, but cover with plastic if stored longer than overnight.
After 1 day in the fridge, the pie may become soggy but will still be safe to eat.
Avoid smoothing the filling with a spatula to prevent lines on the pie.
