Ingredients

For the Crust

24
Oreos
1/4 cup
melted butter

For the Filling

12 oz.
semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups
heavy cream, divided
1/4 cup
powdered sugar, sifted
1 tsp.
pure vanilla extract

For the Ganache

12 oz.
semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup
heavy cream
Flaky sea salt, for garnish

Directions

1. Step 1Make Crust: In a food processor, pulse Oreos into coarse crumbs. Add butter and blend until completely combined.
2. Step 2Press crumb mixtures onto bottom and evenly up sides of a 9" pie dish. (Try to make crust about 1/8"-thick evenly all around.) Refrigerate at least 1 hour before adding filling.
3. Step 3Make Filling: Add chocolate chips and 3/4 cup cream to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth. Cool to room temperature, then stir in sugar and vanilla and set aside.
4. Step 4In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat remaining 3/4 cup cream until soft peaks form. Beat in chocolate mixture 1/3 at a time until well mixed. Spoon filling into chilled pie crust and smooth top. Refrigerate until firm, about 6 hours.
5. Step 5Make Ganache: Just before serving, add chocolate chips and cream to a microwave-safe bowl and cook on high for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth. Spread over top of pie and let cool. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
