Description
A rich and creamy no-bake chocolate pie featuring a smooth, tangy filling made with cream cheese and chocolate ganache, all set in a crisp Oreo cookie crust.
Ingredients
1 Oreo Crust (prepared in a 9 ½ inch pie pan and refrigerated)
16 oz cream cheese, softened
8 oz dark or semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 ½ cups heavy cream, divided
¾ tsp of instant coffee (optional)
1 cup powdered sugar, divided
⅓ cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Additional homemade whipped cream, for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Combine the chopped chocolate and ½ cup of heavy cream in a large microwave-safe bowl.
- Step 2: Microwave in 20-25 second increments, stirring well between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Step 3: Stir the optional instant coffee into the melted chocolate mixture. Set it aside to cool for at least 25 minutes, or until it is no longer warm to the touch.
- Step 4: In a separate medium bowl, combine the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream and ¼ cup of powdered sugar. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until stiff peaks form.
- Step 5: In another large bowl, place the softened cream cheese and pour the cooled chocolate ganache over it. Use an electric mixer to combine until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Step 6: Add the remaining ¾ cup of powdered sugar, the sour cream, and the vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Stir until everything is completely combined.
- Step 7: Using a spatula, gently fold the whipped cream from Step 4 into the chocolate mixture until just incorporated.
- Step 8: Spread the filling into the chilled Oreo crust, using a spatula to smooth the top.
- Step 9: Transfer the pie to the refrigerator and chill for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow it to set completely.
- Step 10: Slice, serve, and top with additional whipped cream if desired.
Notes
The Oreo crust should be prepared and placed in the refrigerator before starting; do not bake it.
Ensure the melted chocolate mixture has cooled completely to room temperature before mixing it with the cream cheese to prevent a grainy texture.
The pie requires at least 6 hours of chilling time to set properly, so plan accordingly.
