-
- Filling
- 1 cup (170g) chocolate chips or melting chocolate, chopped
- 5 large eggs, separated
- 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
- 1/4 cup (30g) cornstarch
- 1 cup (240ml) double cream
- 1 1/2 cups (360ml) milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup (130g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder
- Topping
- 1 cup (about 240ml) chocolate ganache
- Whipped cream, for serving
- Additional Oreos, for serving
Instructions
- Make the crust: Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter until fully combined, then press into the bottom and sides of a pie dish. Chill while preparing the filling.
- Prepare the filling: Melt the chocolate chips and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the 5 egg yolks, 1/2 cup milk, and cornstarch until smooth.
- In a saucepan, heat the double cream, 1 1/2 cups milk, salt, sugar, and espresso powder until just simmering.
- Slowly pour the hot mixture into the egg mixture while whisking constantly.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat until thickened.
- Remove from heat and whisk in the melted chocolate until glossy.
- In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then fold gently into the chocolate custard.
- Pour the filling into the chilled Oreo crust and smooth the top.
- Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 25–30 minutes, or until set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center.
- Cool completely.
- Add the topping: Spread chocolate ganache over the cooled pie.
- Serve with whipped cream and extra Oreos.
Notes
- Chill the pie for several hours or overnight for the best texture.
- Add espresso powder for deeper chocolate flavor.
- Use dark chocolate ganache for a more intense topping.
