Ingredients
- 24 cookies Oreo cookies
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
- 10 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 cup cold heavy cream (for topping)
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 crushing with a rolling pin. Mix the crushed Oreos with 6 tbsp melted unsalted butter until evenly combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Bake for 8 minutes, then cool completely.
- Step 2: In a small saucepan, heat 1 1/4 cups heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and pour over 10 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit 2 minutes, then stir gently until smooth and glossy to form the ganache.
- Step 3: Pour the ganache into the cooled Oreo crust and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until set firmly.
- Step 4: To prepare the whipped cream topping, beat 1 cup cold heavy cream with 1 tbsp granulated sugar using an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Spread or mound the whipped cream generously over the chilled ganache pie. Serve chilled.
