Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 3 cups Oreo crumbs
- 6 tbsp butter, melted
Filling
- 16 oz semi sweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (plus 1 tbsp for greasing the pan)
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream (divided: 1 cup for whipping, 1/2 cup for melting chocolate)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (divided: 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder
- 10 oz mascarpone cheese, room temperature
Topping
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 5 Oreo cookies
- 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- Grease the pan: Grease a 9½ inch pie pan using 1 tablespoon melted butter or baking spray to prevent sticking. Set aside.
- Prepare the Oreo crust: In a medium bowl, mix together 3 cups Oreo crumbs and 6 tablespoons melted butter until combined.
- Press crust: Firmly press the cookie crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the greased pie pan, using a measuring cup to shape it. Refrigerate to allow the crust to harden.
- Whip cream for filling: In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine 1 cup heavy whipping cream, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whip on high speed until thickened and holding stiff peaks. Set aside.
- Melt chocolate mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chopped semi-sweet chocolate, 1/2 cup heavy cream, and 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for another minute until mixture is boiling and glossy.
- Add espresso and whisk mascarpone: Stir in 1 teaspoon espresso powder until chocolate is smooth. Whisk in the mascarpone cheese until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Fold whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mascarpone mixture with a spatula until fully combined and smooth.
- Fill pie crust: Pour the chocolate filling evenly into the chilled Oreo crust. Spread smoothly.
- Whip topping cream: Whip remaining 1 cup heavy whipping cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar until thickened and holding shape.
- Pipe whipped cream: Transfer whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with a star tip and decorate the top of the pie with piped swirls.
- Garnish and sprinkle: Top the pie with 5 whole or halved Oreo cookies as desired and dust with 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder for a finishing touch.
- Chill: Refrigerate the completed pie for 4-6 hours or overnight to set properly before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use cold heavy cream to achieve better whipping results.
- Allow mascarpone cheese to come to room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling.
- Press the crust firmly to ensure it holds together when sliced.
- Adjust espresso powder amount according to desired coffee flavor intensity.
- For easier slicing, chill the pie well before serving.
