Ingredients

• 24 cookies Chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreos)
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cups Heavy cream, cold
• 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 8 ounces Semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
• 1/3 cup Irish cream liqueur
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 large Egg yolks
• 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings or curls (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Alternatively, crush them in a resealable plastic bag using a rolling pin.

Step 3

Combine the cookie crumbs with melted butter in a mixing bowl and stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 4

Press the cookie mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Use the bottom of a glass to press evenly.

Step 5

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 6

In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy.

Step 7

Stir in the Irish cream liqueur and vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture, then set it aside to cool slightly.

Step 8

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and granulated sugar together until pale and thick, about 2 minutes.

Step 9

Gradually whisk the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the egg yolks until fully combined.

Step 10

Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the remaining 1 cup of cold heavy cream with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form.

Step 11

Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in three additions, being gentle to keep the mixture light and airy.

Step 12

Pour the chocolate mousse filling into the cooled cookie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 13

Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until firm. Overnight chilling is best for optimal flavor and texture.

Step 14

Before serving, garnish the pie with chocolate shavings or curls, if desired.

Step 15

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
