Ingredients
Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate Oreo cookie crumbs no icing
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/3 cup salted butter melted
- 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate melted
Pie Filling:
- 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream
Topping:
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate shaved or mini chips
Instructions
Crust:
- Twist apart about 3 dozen Oreos and scrape off the cream. Seal the cookies in a gallon-size bag and roll over them with a rolling pin until finely crushed. You’ll need 1 1/2 cups of crumbs.*
- Combine the cookie crumbs, brown sugar, nutmeg, melted butter, and melted unsweetened chocolate in a large bowl, stirring until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
- Press the crumbs firmly into the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 8-inch pie plate. Cover with a sheet of wax paper and chill for about an hour, until firm.
Pie Filling:
- Start by melting the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between until smooth. Set them aside to cool for about 10 minutes while you mix the filling, since warm chocolate can deflate the whipped cream.
- Whisk the softened cream cheese with the brown sugar, sea salt, and vanilla in a large bowl until completely smooth.
- Stir in the cooled, melted chocolate chips until no streaks remain.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream with a rubber spatula until no white streaks remain. This will add fluffiness and lighten up the filling.
- Scoop the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top with the spatula.
- Chill your pie in the fridge until the filling sets up. This will take at least 6 hours, but overnight is best.
Topping:
- Top the chilled pie with a thick layer of whipped cream.
- Finish with chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips, then slice and serve.
Notes
*You can use a 9-inch pie plate, as well; just know your pie will not be as thick. I prefer a thicker pie when it comes to this no bake chocolate pie.
*Scrape the icing off the cookies and just use the cookies themselves. You can also sub chocolate graham crackers if you can find them.
How do you store chocolate cream cheese pie?
Covered with a plastic wrap (or stored in an airtight container), it’ll last up to 3 days in the fridge. It’s best served cold, so don’t take it out until right before serving.
