Servings : 10
Ingredients
For the Crust
- 1 box (14.3-ounces) Oreos
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) melted butter
For the Chocolate Filling
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter, cut into pieces
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate , chopped (I used 1-square Baker's unsweetened chocolate)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- pinch of salt
- 1-1/4 cups sugar
- 2 tablespoons corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
- 3 eggs
For the Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Garnish
- Chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Combine Oreos and melted butter in a food processor; process until finely ground. For a nicely combined and finely ground texture, it takes about 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 butter and chocolate in a medium saucepan; melt over medium heat, stirring constantly until butter is melted.
- Remove from heat.
- Stir in 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 chocolate mixture into previously prepared crust.
- Bake at 375-degrees for 30 minutes, or until 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 whipping cream, vanilla, and sugar in a mixing bowl.
- Cover with cling wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- When chilled, with electric mixer on high, beat the mixture until stiff peaks form.
- Spread the whipped cream on top of the pie.
- Garnish with chocolate shavings.
- Serve.
