Description
This No-Bake Chocolate Cream Pie is a dessert lover’s dream—rich, velvety, and incredibly easy to make. With a crunchy Oreo cookie crust, silky chocolate ganache filling, and a fluffy whipped cream topping, this pie has all the elements that make a dessert irresistible.
Ingredients
1 package Oreo cookies, crushed into crumbs
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
16 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
2 and 1/4 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into cubes
1 and 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar, sifted
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a large bowl, combine the Oreo cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated with the butter.
- Press into pie plate: Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie plate, making sure to press it evenly in the bottom and up the sides.
- Chill the crust: Place the crust in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up and set before filling.
- Melt the chocolate: Add the chopped chocolate to a large heatproof bowl and set aside.
- Heat the cream: In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the heavy cream to a low simmer. Once it’s simmering, remove it from the heat and pour it over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 1 minute to soften the chocolate.
- Whisk together: After 1 minute, whisk the chocolate and cream together until fully combined and smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Add the butter: Add the cubed butter to the mixture and stir with a spatula until the butter is completely melted and the ganache is smooth and glossy. Set aside until the ganache has cooled slightly.
- Whip the cream: In a large bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer), beat the heavy cream and confectioners’ sugar together using a handheld mixer or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat until soft peaks form.
- Fill the crust: Remove the chilled Oreo cookie crust from the freezer. Carefully pour the chocolate ganache into the crust, filling it up nearly to the top.
- Chill to set: Place the pie in the fridge and allow it to set for about 2 hours, or until the ganache is firm and the pie is fully chilled.
- Top with whipped cream: Once the pie has set, dollop or pipe the whipped cream on top of the pie, starting in the center. For extra flair, sprinkle with chocolate shavings or cocoa powder.
- Serve: Slice and serve immediately, or store the pie in the fridge until you’re ready to enjoy!
Notes
- For added texture, top the whipped cream with crushed Oreos, chocolate chips, or caramel drizzle.
- For a peanut butter-chocolate twist, swirl in a few tablespoons of peanut butter into the ganache.
- If you’re not a fan of Oreo crust, try using a graham cracker or chocolate cookie crust.
