Chocolate Cream Pie with Oreo Crust

Chocolate cream pie with Oreo crust instantly became my ultimate indulgence one evening when I craved something rich, creamy, and chocolaty but didn’t want to spend hours baking so I whipped up a smooth chocolate filling, poured it into a buttery Oreo crust, and topped it with a fluffy pile of whipped cream and when I took that first silky, decadent bite I knew I had found my new favorite dessert. Ever since then, this pie has been my go-to treat for birthdays, holidays, or whenever I want to wow friends and family with minimal effort.

What I love most is the way the velvety chocolate filling melts in your mouth with the crunchy, chocolatey Oreo base adding just the right contrast and the fresh whipped cream on top balances everything perfectly so each slice feels like a luxurious moment you want to savor.

Ingredients

• Here’s what I use for this recipe. You can always make substitutions if you prefer!
• Oreo cookies – The base that creates a rich, crunchy crust.
• Butter – Holds the Oreo crust together and adds extra flavor.
• Semi-sweet chocolate – The star of the creamy, dreamy filling.
• Heavy cream – Makes the filling silky and adds to the whipped topping.
• Whole milk – Helps create that smooth, pudding-like texture.
• Egg yolks – Add richness and help thicken the chocolate cream.
• Sugar – Sweetens the chocolate filling perfectly.
• Cornstarch – Thickens the filling to make it sliceable.
• Vanilla extract – Brings warmth and enhances the chocolate flavor.
• Whipped cream – Light and airy topping to balance the richness.
• Chocolate shavings – For a beautiful, decadent finish.

Tools You’ll Need

• Food processor – To crush the Oreos easily for the crust.
• Saucepan – To cook the chocolate filling until thick and silky.
• Whisk – For smooth mixing without lumps.
• Mixing bowls – For whipping cream and preparing filling.
• Rubber spatula – To scrape every bit of chocolate goodness.
• 9-inch tart pan or pie dish – To shape and hold your pie.

Instructions

Step 1

I start by crushing the Oreos in a food processor until they’re fine crumbs, then mix them with melted butter.

Step 2

I press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch tart pan or pie dish and chill it in the fridge while making the filling.

Step 3

In a saucepan, I whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and egg yolks, then slowly add in the milk and cream.

Step 4

I heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens and starts to bubble.

Step 5

I remove it from the heat and stir in chopped semi-sweet chocolate and vanilla extract until completely smooth and glossy.

Step 6

I pour the chocolate filling into the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

I chill the pie for at least 4 hours or until set.

Step 8

Just before serving, I top it with freshly whipped cream and sprinkle chocolate shavings on top for that irresistible finish.

Tips

If you want extra depth, I suggest adding a splash of espresso or coffee to the filling. You can also use dark chocolate for a more intense flavor or fold some crushed Oreos into the whipped cream for a fun twist!
