Ingredients

2 ½ cups heavy whipping cream divided
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup salted butter
3 large eggs
2 cups white granulated sugar divided
1 Oreo pie crust (store-bought or homemade cookie crust)

Instructions

Use a stand mixer or electric mixer to whip 1 ½ cups of the heavy cream and the vanilla into stiff peaks. Set the whipped cream aside.
In another bowl, combine the chocolate and butter. Microwave the ingredients on 30-second intervals, stirring the mixture thoroughly after each interval. Continue to microwave mixture until the ingredients are completely melted and the chocolate is smooth.
Whisk in the eggs until homogenous. Add 1 ½ cups of sugar and whisk again until it is fully incorporated into the chocolate.
Pour the chocolate into the bowl with the whipped cream and fold the two mixtures together gently until combined just enough the white disappears.
Pour the mixture into the pie crust and place in the freezer for 6 hours.
After the pie has chilled, whip the remaining cream and sugar to stiff peaks and spread over the top of the pie.

Notes

Chocolate Variations: If you want a richer chocolate flavor, you can use dark chocolate chips and if you want a sweeter flavor, you can use milk chocolate.

Garnish Options: Fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or caramel drizzle make beautiful garnishes for this pie. Mint leaves add color and complement the chocolate perfectly. Keep garnishes simple to let the silky texture shine.

Egg Safety: Since the eggs in this recipe are not cooked, use pasteurized eggs if you are concerned about food safety. This is especially important if serving to pregnant women, young children, or immunocompromised individuals.

Storage

Keep this pie in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Or keep it in the fridge, but it will be less stable and harder to slice into clean servings.
