Chocolate Vanilla Cream Pie

A rich and creamy pie featuring a chocolate pudding filling in an Oreo crust topped with whipped vanilla cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Oreo cookies (for crust)
  • 5 Tablespoons butter (melted, for crust)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 6 large egg yolks
  • 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 6 Tablespoons salted butter, chopped
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 Tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract (for whipped topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare pie crust by crushing Oreo cookies finely and mixing with melted butter. Press mixture into a pie pan and bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool.
  2. For the chocolate filling, combine sugar and milk in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer.
  3. Whisk egg yolks and cornstarch together in a bowl. Slowly add a few spoonfuls of hot milk mixture to temper the eggs, whisking constantly.
  4. Pour egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture, stirring constantly. Cook until thickened and boiling gently.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in butter, chopped chocolate, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  6. Pour chocolate filling into cooled crust, cover with plastic wrap touching surface, and refrigerate for 4-6 hours or overnight.
  7. For the whipped topping, whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  8. Spread whipped cream over chilled pie immediately before serving.

Notes

Use high-quality semi-sweet chocolate for best flavor. To prevent pudding skin, cover surface with plastic wrap while cooling. For a lighter vanilla component, fold some whipped cream into the chocolate filling before chilling.
