Ingredients
- 24 cookies Oreo cookies
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
- 12 oz bittersweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup unsweetened whipped cream
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Crush 24 Oreo cookies finely using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and pounding with a rolling pin. Mix the crushed Oreos with 6 tbsp melted unsalted butter until evenly combined. Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie pan to form an even crust. Bake for 8 minutes until set and fragrant, then cool completely.
- Step 2: In a medium saucepan, heat 1 1/2 cups heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and immediately pour over 12 oz bittersweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 1 minute, then whisk gently until smooth and glossy.
- Step 3: Pour the chocolate ganache into the cooled Oreo crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until the ganache is fully set.
- Step 4: Just before serving, spread 1 cup unsweetened whipped cream in a generous layer over the chilled ganache. Slice and serve chilled.
