📝 Preparation Steps
1
Crust:
2
crust
3
Preheat oven to 325°F. Add the whole Oreos (with their filling) to a food processor or blender and process until they are fine crumbs. Dump the crumbs into a bowl and add the melted butter. Stir until well combined.
melted butter5 tablespoons
4
bake
5
Dump into a 9 or 9 ½-inch pie plate that is 2 inches high (not springform). Press the crumbs into the bottom and up the sides (I use the bottom of a measuring cup). Bake for ⏱️ 10 minutes. Cool to room temperature then refrigerate until cold (it will be easier to work with if it’s cold).

Chocolate filling:

In a large bowl, whisk egg yolks, sugar, and ¼ cup of milk. Add cornstarch and salt and whisk until well combined. Set aside.

10
In a saucepan over medium-low heat add remaining 2¼ cups milk and cocoa power. Heat, whisking frequently, until the mixture starts to come to a simmer (small bubbles coming to the surface) and the cocoa powder has dissolved in the warm milk.
11
simmer
12
Using a ladle, scoop portions of the warm milk and slowly whisk it into the egg/sugar mixture. Continue doing this until about half of the warm milk has been added to the egg mixture. This helps slowly bring up the temperature of the eggs. Take the egg mixture and slowly add it to the hot pot. Bring the whole mixture to a simmer, whisking frequently (be sure to get in the edges and along the bottom of the pan). Simmer for ⏱️ 2-3 minutes, until thickened and bubbly (it will thicken more as it cools).
13
cool
14
Immediately transfer the pudding to a large bowl (if you notice any lumps you can pour it through a fine mesh sieve first). Add the chocolate chips and vanilla, whisking until smooth (the hot pudding will melt the chocolate chips). Allow to cool down for ⏱️ 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
15
add to crust
16
Pour the filling into the chilled crust. Cover with plastic wrap; you can press it right onto the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until chilled and firm, at least ⏱️ 6 hours.
17
Whipped cream:
18
whip
19
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form. Add the whipped cream on top of the pie by spreading it with an offset spatula or using a pastry bag and piping tip. Garnish with chocolate shavings.
