For the Oreo Crust:
- 35 regular variety Oreo cookies
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
For the Chocolate Pie Filling:
- 12 ounces 60% cocoa chocolate bars, finely chopped
- 1 and 3/4 cups (397ml) heavy cream
- 1/2 cup (113ml) Baileys Irish cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons espresso powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, cut into cubes at room temperature
For the Whipped Cream:
- 2 cups (454ml) heavy cream, cold
- 1/4 cup (24g) confectioners’ sugar, sifted
- Chocolate shavings for garnish (optional)
- Prepare the Oreo Crust: Lightly spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick baking spray and set it aside. Use a food processor or blender to pulse the Oreo cookies until finely crumbed. In a large bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs with the melted butter and mix well. Firmly press the mixture into the prepared pan, working it from the center up the sides about 3 inches high. Place the crust in the freezer for 30 minutes to set.
- Make the Chocolate Pie Filling: Place the chopped chocolate in a large heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and Baileys Irish cream and bring to a simmer, then remove from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, espresso powder, and sea salt. Pour the hot cream mixture over the chopped chocolate and let sit for 1 minute. Whisk the mixture gently until smooth and fully combined. Add the cubed butter and whisk vigorously until the butter is fully incorporated and the filling is glossy.
- Prepare the Whipped Cream: Just before serving, beat the cold heavy cream with the sifted confectioners’ sugar using a handheld mixer or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whip until medium-soft peaks form, being careful not to overbeat.
- Assemble the Pie: Remove the Oreo crust from the freezer and carefully pour the chocolate ganache filling into the crust; it will be very full. Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 3 hours or overnight to allow it to set completely.
- Serve: When ready to serve, dollop the whipped cream in the center of the pie and gently swirl it around with a spoon, leaving the edges exposed to maintain texture and volume. Garnish with chocolate shavings if desired. Slice and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use a springform pan to easily release the pie without disturbing the crust or filling.
- Ensure butter in the filling is at room temperature for easy incorporation.
- Make the whipped cream just before serving for best texture and freshness.
- Optional espresso powder enhances the chocolate flavor but can be omitted if unavailable.
- This pie should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within 2-3 days.
