Crust
- 3 cups Oreo crumbs
- 6 tbsp butter (melted)
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter (for greasing the pan)
Chocolate Pie Filling
- 16 oz semi sweet chocolate (chopped)
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder
- 10 oz mascarpone cheese (room temperature)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (for whipping)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 5 Oreo cookies
- 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- Grease the pan: Grease a 9½ inch pie pan with butter or baking spray and set aside to prepare for crust.
- Make the Oreo crust: In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter with Oreo cookie crumbs until fully combined.
- Press the crust: Firmly press the cookie crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the pie pan using a measuring cup to shape it well. Place the crust in the refrigerator to harden.
- Whip cream for filling: In an electric mixer bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract on high until it thickens and holds shape. Set aside.
- Melt chocolate mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chopped chocolate, remaining ½ cup heavy cream, and melted butter. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, then microwave another minute until mixture begins boiling.
- Add espresso powder and stir: Stir in espresso powder until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth and shiny.
- Whisk mascarpone cheese: Whisk mascarpone cheese into the chocolate mixture until fully combined and smooth.
- Fold whipped cream into chocolate: Gently fold the previously whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until fully combined.
- Pour filling into crust: Pour the chocolate filling evenly into the chilled Oreo crust.
- Whip cream for garnish: Whip 1 cup heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar on high until it thickens and holds its shape.
- Pipe whipped cream topping: Transfer whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe decorative dollops onto the pie.
- Garnish pie: Top with Oreo cookies and lightly sprinkle with unsweetened cocoa powder for a finishing touch.
- Chill the pie: Refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours or overnight to set completely before serving.
Notes
- Use cold heavy whipping cream for best whipping results.
- Allow the crust to chill well so it firms up and holds the filling perfectly.
- Microwave chocolate mixture carefully to avoid burning the chocolate.
- For a more intense coffee flavor, increase espresso powder slightly.
- This pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Ensure mascarpone is at room temperature before adding to chocolate to avoid lumps.
