Ingredients
For the Chocolate Pie
- 24 Oreo cookies
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter divided (1¼ sticks)
- 5 large egg yolks
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2½ cups whole milk
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate chopped
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
For the Whipped Cream Topping
- 1½ cups heavy cream
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and blend until they become crumbs.
- Transfer the crumbs to a bowl. Melt 5 tablespoons of butter, and stir it into the crumbs. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Let the crust cool completely.
- In a bowl or measuring glass, whisk together the egg yolks and cornstarch.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the milk and sugar. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Once it’s simmering, transfer about ½ cup of the hot mixture to the egg yolk mixture and whisk it together in the measuring glass.
- Slowly pour the egg mixture into the saucepan while whisking constantly. Let the mixture continue to simmer while whisking until thickened like pudding.
- Add in the chocolate, vanilla extract, remaining 5 tablespoons of butter, and salt. Continue whisking until the chocolate has fully melted.
- Pour the chocolate filling into the pie crust and smooth it out with a spoon or spatula.
- Chill the pie in the refrigerator for 4-5 hours, or until the filling has set.
- While the pie is chilling, prepare the whipped cream topping by mixing the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla together with an electric mixer.
- Once the sugar is fully incorporated, beat the mixture to stiff peaks. Spread the whipped cream over the chilled pie.
Notes
- Storage: Store chocolate cream pie loosely covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
