Chocolate Silk Pie With Oreo Crust Recipes

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Pulse the cookies in a food processor until finely chopped. With the processor running, add the butter. Press the crumbs into the bottoms of four 4 1/4-inch disposable aluminum pie pans. Bake until set, about 5 minutes. Let cool.
• For the filling: In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the chocolate until melted. Set aside to cool a bit.
• In a mixer with a whisk attachment, beat together the sugar and butter until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Drizzle in the melted chocolate and add the vanilla. Beat thoroughly until combined.
• Turn the mixer to medium speed and add in the eggs 1 at a time, leaving about 5 minutes between each egg addition. Once the pie filling is well mixed, pour it into the baked pie shells, scraping every last speck of it out of the bowl. Smooth out the filling and place the pies in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours, preferably longer. When ready to serve, top with whipped cream.

Steps:

• CRUST: Chop Oreos in food processor until crumbs. Put in mixing bowl and add in butter. Mix until moistened. Press in an even layer on bottom and sides of pie pan. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes for a no-bake crust. 1.First, make your whipped cream. In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream and sugar together on HIGH speed for about 5-7 minutes or until stiff peaks form. You should have roughly 5 cups of whipped cream. Divide 2 cups into a pastry bag fixed with a large open star tip or set aside to spread onto the final pie. Set aside. 2.In a large microwaveable bowl, add the chopped chocolate and the butter. Microwave on HIGH for about 30 seconds. Stir, then microwave again for another 15-20 seconds or until melted and smooth. Cool for about 5 minutes. 3.In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until fluffy and smooth, about 1 minute. Add in the powdered sugar and beat until combined. Lastly, add in the chocolate, whipping until combined. Fold in 3 cups of the fresh whipped cream. 4.Spread the chocolate silk filling into the pie crust evenly and carefully. Pipe or spread the remaining whipped cream onto the pie's surface and garnish with chocolate curls or shavings. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Add Oreos to the bowl of a food processor and process until fine crumbs form. Add melted butter and salt, and process until crumbs are evenly moistened. Tip mixture out into a 9-inch pie plate, and press crumbs evenly into bottom and sides of pan. Bake until crust is fragrant and set, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool.
• Set a fine mesh sieve over a medium bowl. In a medium saucepan, whisk together granulated sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder and salt. Pouring just a little at first, whisk the milk into the sugar mixture until you have a smooth paste. Gradually add remaining milk, whisking constantly. Whisk in egg yolks. Cook mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it has thickened and just come up to a low boil, about 8 to 9 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
• Pour custard through sieve, pushing it through with a rubber spatula. Discard any solids. Stir in chocolate, butter and vanilla, and let it stand for 1 minute. Stir until smooth. Pour mixture into prepared crust. Let cool slightly, then cover loosely with plastic wrap and chill until firm, at least 6 hours.
• To serve, whip cream and confectioners' sugar until soft peaks form. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with crushed Oreos, if using.
