Mississippi Mud Pie

Make the crust:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Pulse the Oreos in a food processor until finely ground. Add the melted butter and process until moistened.
3. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the chocolate crumb mixture for topping, then press the rest into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
4. Bake until set, about 10 minutes; transfer to a rack and let cool.

Filling

1. Melt the butter and chocolate in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring.
2. Remove from the heat, then stir in the flour and salt until smooth.
3. Stir in the sugar, corn syrup, espresso powder and vanilla.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, stirring until smooth.
5. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and bake until set and cracked on top (like a brownie), about 30 minutes.
6. Transfer to a rack and let cool slightly, about 2 hours (the pie should still be slightly warm).

Whipped Cream:

1. Beat the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla with a mixer until soft peaks form.
2. Top the pie with the whipped cream, pecans, and reserved chocolate crumb mixture.
3. Drizzle with chocolate sauce.
