Ingredients
- 24 cookies Oreo cookies
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
- 10 oz semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup unsweetened whipped cream
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Crush 24 Oreo cookies finely using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin until you have about 2 cups of crumbs. Melt 6 tbsp unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl and stir it into the Oreo crumbs until evenly coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan for an even crust. Bake the crust for 8 minutes, then remove and let 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 4-5 minutes; do not boil. Remove from heat and immediately pour over 10 oz semisweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir gently until smooth and glossy to form the ganache.
- 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 fully set and firm.
- Step 4: Before serving, spread 1 cup unsweetened whipped cream over the top of the pie in a thick layer for a light contrast to the rich ganache. Slice and serve chilled.
