Zubereitung

Crust

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to C. Spray a 9-inch deep pie dish with cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Place the Oreo cookies in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Add in the melted butter and pulse until moistened. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie dish. Bake for s, or until fragrant and set. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

Filling

  1. 1

    In a small saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs. Set over medium-low heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture reaches 70°C and coats the back of a metal spoon. Remove from heat, then stir in the melted chocolate and vanilla until smooth. Set aside to cool to room temperature (around 24°F), stirring occasionally. To speed up cooling, transfer the mixture to a stainless-steel pan with a larger surface area.

  2. 2

    Using an electric mixer, beat the butter until light and fluffy, about 2 to s. Gradually add in the cooled chocolate mixture then beat on high speed for s, or until light and fluffy.

  3. 3

    In a separate clean bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cream until it begins to thicken. Add the powdered sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold into the chocolate mixture.

  4. 4

    Pour the mixture into the pan, smoothing evenly. The pie will be tall with filling. Chill for 6 hours. At this point, the pie can be stored for up to 2 days ahead of time.

Topping

  1. 1

    Use an electric mixer to beat the cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla on high speed until stiff peaks form. Top pie with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings or dust with cocoa powder.
