Crust

Chocolate Cremeux

Cookies & Cream Whipped Topping

Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the crust

    In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate wafer cookies, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the cookies are evenly coated and crumbly.

  2. 2

    Form the crust

    Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the back of a measuring cup or your fingers to create an even layer.

  3. 3

    Bake the crust

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the crust for about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Chocolate Cremeux Preparation

  1. 4

    Heat the cream

    In a saucepan, heat 1 cup of heavy cream over medium heat until just simmering. Remove from heat and add chopped bittersweet chocolate. Stir until melted and smooth.

  2. 5

    Prepare the egg mixture

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and ¼ cup of granulated sugar until pale and thick.

  3. 6

    Combine mixtures

    Gradually pour the warm chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling. Return the combined mixture to the saucepan.

  4. 7

    Cook the cremeux

    Cook over low heat, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.

  5. 8

    Cool the chocolate cremeux

    Pour the chocolate cremeux into the cooled crust and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.

Cookies & Cream Whipped Topping Preparation

  1. 9

    Whip the cream

    In a large mixing bowl, beat 1 cup of heavy cream with an electric mixer on medium speed until it starts to thicken.

  2. 10

    Add sugar and vanilla

    Add 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Continue beating until medium peaks form.

  3. 11

    Fold in crushed Oreos

    Gently fold in 1 cup of crushed Oreo cookies until combined.

Assembly

  1. 12

    Top the pie

    Once the chocolate cremeux is set, spread the cookies & cream whipped topping evenly over the top of the pie.

  2. 13

    Garnish and serve

    Optionally, sprinkle additional crushed Oreo cookies on top for garnish. Slice and serve chilled.
