Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter.
Press mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes, then let cool completely.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar and cornstarch. Gradually whisk in milk until smooth.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and gently boils.
In a small bowl, whisk egg yolks. Slowly temper them by whisking in some of the hot milk mixture. Return tempered yolks to the saucepan.
Stir in chopped chocolate and cook until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in heavy cream and vanilla extract.
Pour filling into cooled Oreo crust. Smooth the top and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Before serving, top with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings or curls.

Notes

Baking the Oreo crust ensures a sturdier base, but you can chill it for a no-bake option.Add a thin layer of Nutella or peanut butter to the crust before filling for extra flavor.Espresso powder enhances chocolate flavor—add 1 tsp if desired.Freeze the pie (without toppings) for up to 2 months, wrapped tightly.Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.
