Oreo Crust
- 3 cups Oreo crumbs
- 6 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter (for greasing the pan)
Chocolate Pie Filling
- 1½ cups heavy whipping cream (cold, divided)
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp espresso powder
- 16 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 10 oz mascarpone cheese, room temperature
Garnish
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 5 Oreo cookies
- 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- Grease the pan: Grease a 9½ inch pie pan with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter or baking spray to prevent sticking. Set aside.
- Make the Oreo crust: In a medium bowl, combine 3 cups of Oreo cookie crumbs with 6 tablespoons of melted butter until fully mixed. Firmly press this mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the greased pie pan using a measuring cup or your hands to shape it evenly.
- Chill crust: Place the crust in the refrigerator to harden while you prepare the filling.
- Whip cream for filling: In a bowl of an electric mixer, combine 1 cup heavy whipping cream, ½ cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whip on high speed until the mixture thickens and holds soft peaks. Set aside.
- Melt chocolate mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, add 16 oz chopped semisweet chocolate, ½ cup heavy cream, and ½ cup melted unsalted butter. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for another minute until it begins to boil. Stir in 1 teaspoon espresso powder until smooth and shiny.
- Incorporate mascarpone: Whisk mascarpone cheese into the warm chocolate mixture until fully combined and silky smooth.
- Fold whipped cream into chocolate: Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate-mascarpone mixture using a spatula until completely incorporated and smooth.
- Pour filling into crust: Pour the chocolate filling evenly into the chilled Oreo crust.
- Prepare whipped cream topping: In a clean bowl, whip 1 cup heavy whipping cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar on high speed until thick and holds firm peaks.
- Pipe whipped cream decoration: Transfer the whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe decorative dollops or swirls on top of the pie.
- Garnish the pie: Top the whipped cream piped pie with crushed or whole Oreo cookies and lightly dust with 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder for an elegant finish.
- Chill before serving: Refrigerate the completed pie for at least 4 to 6 hours or overnight to allow it to set completely. Serve chilled and enjoy this rich, no-bake chocolate delight!
Notes
- Use cold heavy cream to achieve the best whipped cream texture.
- Make sure the mascarpone is at room temperature to blend smoothly with the chocolate.
- Microwave times can vary; stir the chocolate mixture well between intervals to avoid scorching.
- For extra coffee flavor, espresso powder can be adjusted or omitted according to preference.
- Allow sufficient chilling time for the pie to fully set before slicing for clean cuts.
- If you prefer a less sweet pie, adjust powdered sugar quantities to taste.
