Instructions
Crust
- In a blender or a food processor, add 24 Oreos and pulse until it becomes a wet powder resembling wet sand. This can alternatively be done by hand in a large Ziplock bag with a rolling pin.
- Melt ¼ cup butterand mix with 2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs.
- Press evenly into a 9-inch pie pan and put in the fridge to chill while you prepare the filling.
FIlling
- Chop 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate into small pieces and put in a heat-proof bowl.
- Heat ⅔ cups heavy whipping cream for about 45 seconds in the microwave, until steaming. Pour over the chopped chocolate and allow to sit for several minutes.
- Add ¾ teaspoons vanilla and 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder to the chocolate and cream. Whisk together to make a thick ganache. Allow cooling completely.
- While the ganache is cooling, add 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar to a clean mixing bowl and whip until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip your cream! Peaks should stand on their own and not flop over at all.
- When the ganache is cooled completely, add it to a bowl of whipped cream. Gently fold the chocolate into the cream until it is just incorporated, with no streaks of dark chocolate or white cream. Pour into chilled pie shell.
- Chill for at least 6 hours.
Topping
- In a clean mixing bowl, whip 1 cup heavy whipping cream, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and ½ teaspoon vanilla together until soft peaks form.
- Remove chilled pie from the fridge and top with whipped cream. Add optional chocolate shavings for garnish.
