Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 (277 grams) oreo cookies, (regular-stuffed, keep filling intact)
  • 5 tablespoons (71 grams) unsalted butter, (melted)
  • 2/3 cup (133 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup (28 grams) dutch-process cocoa powder*
  • 1/4 cup (35 grams) cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 3 cups (720 grams) whole milk
  • 4 ounces (113 grams) semisweet chocolate, (finely chopped)
  • 4 ounces (113 grams) bittersweet chocolate (finely chopped)
  • 3 tablespoons (42 grams) unsalted butter, (cubed)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240 grams) chilled heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons (15 grams) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • cocoa powder or chocolate curls**, (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a food processor, grind the Oreo cookies until fine.
  3. Mix in melted butter and press the mixture into the pie dish.
  4. Bake for 11-12 minutes until fragrant and set. Let cool completely.
  5. In a saucepan, mix sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually whisk in ½ cup of milk until combined.
  6. Add the remaining milk and cook over medium-high heat, whisking, until boiling. Cook for an additional 45 seconds.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in chopped chocolates, butter, and vanilla until smooth. Pour into cooled crust without smoothing the filling.
  8. Let cool at room temperature for about 90 minutes, then refrigerate uncovered for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  9. Beat heavy cream until thick, then mix in sugar and vanilla, whipping to stiff peaks.
  10. Spread the whipped cream over the chilled pie and garnish with cocoa or chocolate curls.
  11. Slice and serve.

Notes

The pie can be made up to 2 days ahead. Store covered with plastic wrap if keeping longer than overnight.
To maintain the crust’s firmness, avoid decorating the pie too early to prevent sogginess.
