Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
Combine Oreos and melted butter in a food processor; process until finely ground. For a nicely combined and finely ground texture, it takes about 2 to 3 minutes in my food processor.
Place the crumbs in a 9-inch springform pan, shape the crust into an even layer on the bottom of the pan, and press it about 1-1/2 inches up the sides.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until set. Set aside.
In the meantime, prepare the filling. Combine the butter and chocolate in a medium saucepan; melt over medium heat, stirring constantly until the butter is melted. Remove from heat.
Stir in the flour and salt; continue to stir until smooth.
Add sugar, corn syrup, and vanilla; stir until combined. Add eggs, one at a time, and stir until smooth.
Pour the chocolate mixture into the previously prepared crust. Bake at 375ºF for 30 minutes, or until the chocolate filling is set and the top is cracked.
Remove from oven and let completely cool; about 2 hours.
Meanwhile, prepare the whipped cream by combining heavy whipping cream, vanilla, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Cover with cling wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Once chilled, take it out of the fridge and beat the mixture with an electric mixer on high until stiff peaks form.
Spread the whipped cream on top of the pie. Garnish with chocolate shavings, cut, and serve.
