Oreo Cookie Crust

Chocolate Custard Filling

Instructions

1. Prepare the crust
Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or place them in a sealed bag and crush with a rolling pin.

2. Bake the crust
Mix the cookie crumbs with the melted butter and sugar until evenly coated. Firmly press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 8–10 minutes, then let the crust cool completely.

3. Mix the filling ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the chocolate chips, cornstarch, sugar, and salt.

4. Cook the chocolate custard
Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate melts and the mixture comes to a gentle boil. Continue whisking until the filling becomes thick and creamy.

5. Assemble the pie
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the warm chocolate filling into the cooled Oreo crust and spread it evenly.

6. Chill before serving
Allow the pie to cool for about 20 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm. Finish with freshly whipped cream before slicing for the perfect creamy dessert.
