Ingredients
- 25 Oreos, crushed (plus more for topping)

For the filling: - 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk
- 6 large egg yolks
- 2 TBSP cornstarch

- 8 oz. semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla ext.
For the whipped cream: - 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream

Steps
1
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Crush Oreos in food processor. Pour into mixing bowl, add melted butter, and stir to combine. Press crushed Oreos into 9-inch pie pan to form crust, then bake for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine milk and granulated sugar over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, whisking frequently.
3
In a separate bowl, add egg yolks and cornstarch and whisk until smooth.
4
Once the milk and sugar mixture is simmering, temper the eggs. Add 2-3 TBSPs of the heated milk & sugar mixture to the eggs & cornstarch to increase the temp. Slowly add the egg yolk mixture into the saucepan, whisking constantly. Bring to a gentle boil. 
5
Remove from heat and add chopped butter, chocolate, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth. Pour filling into cooled pie crust, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 4 hours or until filling is set.
6
For the whipped cream: pour heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract into chilled bowl of stand mixer. Add whisk attachment. Mix on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until stiff peaks form.
7
Spread whipped cream over set pie filling and top with crushed Oreos. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!
