    The Best Chocolate Cream Pie

    Chocolate Cream Pie is my favorite dessert ever and this recipe is truly the best I’ve ever had. The chocolate custard filling is perfection. It’s velvety smooth, so creamy, and somehow light, yet rich at the same time.

    But not overly rich. It’s not a heavy, cloyingly rich ganache. It’s not overly sweetened or too heavy.

    The filling is a pastry cream – a crème patisserie thickened with a little cornstarch, egg yolks, and a good dose of chocolate.

    Chocolate Cream Pie with an Oreo cookie crust

    An Oreo cookie crust is the perfect base for this Chocolate Cream Pie. The crumbly, crunchy texture is a wonderful contrast to the smooth, creamy filling.

    And the Oreos add the perfect salty, sweet, chocolate flavor.

    No-Bake Chocolate Cream Pie

    The custard in this pie is made on the stovetop, and the finished pie isn’t baked.

    I prefer to bake the unfilled crust for 10 minutes to help set the crust for easier, neater slicing and a crunchier crust, but you could skip the baking and just freeze the crust for about 15 minutes to firm it up before putting in the filling.

    Be prepared though, for the crust to not slice as cleanly and serve as neatly as if it is baked.

    How to make Chocolate Cream Pie

    This Chocolate Cream Pie consists of an Oreo cookie crust, a smooth and velvety chocolate custard, and a whipped cream topping.

    How to make an Oreo cookie crust

    Grind the Oreo cookies - with their cream fillings - in a food processor until they are finely ground. If you don't have a food processor, put the cookies in a plastic bag and mash them with a rolling pin. Mixed the cookie crumbs with melted butter then press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. This is my favorite pie dish – which also comes recommended by Cook’s Illustrated.

    I use my hands to press the crumbs into the sides of the pie dish, and the bottom of a measuring cup to compact the crumbs into a tight, smooth crust.

    Another trick I use is to press the crumbs into the bottom of the pie dish, then carefully push towards the edges and up the sides of the dish. This way, the crumbs are already somewhat compacted before pressing them into the sides.

    The crust is chilled in the refrigerator for 20 minutes, baked for 10 minutes in the oven, then left to cool.

    If you choose not to bake the crust, stick it in the freezer while making the chocolate custard to let it firm up.

    How to make the filling for Chocolate Cream Pie

    The filling for Chocolate Cream Pie is a crème patisserie  - or pastry cream – that has a good dose of chocolate mixed in.

    Start the chocolate pastry cream by bringing half-and-half (or equal parts milk and heavy cream) to a simmer.

    In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or in a medium bowl by hand, whisk the egg yolks until they are lightened up, about 30 seconds.

    Add the cornstarch and sugar, and continue whisking until the mixture is glossy and slightly thickened, and the sugar has begun to dissolve, about 1 minute.

    Slowly drizzle ½ cup of the hot half-and-half over the egg yolks while whisking continuously. Then whisk the egg yolk mixture back into the rest of the hot half-and-half. It should thicken in about 30 seconds. Return to simmer, whisking constantly, until 3 or 4 bubbles burst on the surface and mixture is thickened and glossy, about 15 seconds longer.

    Take off the heat, and whisk in butter until fully incorporated and smooth. Whisk in the semisweet and unsweetened chocolates until fully incorporated and smooth, using a rubber spatula to scrape the bottom and sides of the pan. Whisk in the vanilla, then immediately pour through a strainer, then into the cooled crust.

    Cover with plastic wrap, gently pressing the plastic onto the filling, and chill until the filling is firm, about 4 hours.

    How to make the whipped cream topping and optional stabilized whipped cream topping

    I always make stabilized whipped cream. It’s just an easy extra step, but the cream stays fresh for days. Regular whipped cream will start weeping in a matter of hours, and will look quite wet and deflated the next day.

    If making the optional stabilized whipped cream, stir 1 teaspoon of powdered, plain gelatin into 1 tablespoon of water. Let it rest for 5 minutes so the water is fully absorbed. Heat the gelatin mixture in the microwave for 5-7 seconds so that it melts and smooths. Let it cool slightly and stir in 1 teaspoon of whipping cream.

    With a cold bowl and cold beaters, whip the cream and sugar until it thickens and forms soft peaks (when you lift the beaters out of the bowl the whipped cream folds over).

    If making the optional stabilized whipped cream, with the mixer on low, slowly pour the cooled gelatin mixture in as your mixing the whipped cream.

    Continue mixing the whipped cream on medium high until you have stiff peaks (when you lift the beaters out of the bowl, the whipped cream stands straight up and doesn’t fold over), but don’t over beat it or it will not have a smooth texture.

    How to top the Chocolate Cream Pie

    Top the chilled Chocolate Cream Pie with the whipped cream. Then using a vegetable peeler, run the peeler down the thin edge of a chocolate bar to make chocolate shavings. I do this right over the pie. If you touch the shavings or if your room is warm, they will melt easily.

    Top the pie with the whipped cream shortly before serving. This is especially important if not using stabilized whipped cream.

    Description

    Chocolate Cream Pie is the ultimate creamy, dreamy, decadent dessert. With an Oreo cookie crust, a velvety smooth chocolate custard filling, and billows of whipped cream, this Chocolate Cream Pie will leave you swooning!


    Ingredients

    Scale

    For the Oreo cookie crust:

    • 20 Oreo cookies ((190g))
    • 3 tablespoons (43g) unsalted butter, (melted and cooled)

    For the chocolate filling:

    • 2 ½ cups (568g) half-and-half ((OR 1 ¼ cups milk and 1 ¼ cups heavy cream))
    • pinch of table salt
    • ⅓ to ½ cup (66g-99g) granulated sugar ((SEE NOTE 1))
    • 2 tablespoons (14g) cornstarch
    • 6 large egg yolks at room temperature
    • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter (cold, cut into 6 pieces)
    • 6 ounces (170g) semisweet chocolate or bittersweet chocolate (finely chopped (SEE NOTE 2))
    • 1 ounce (28g) unsweetened chocolate (finely chopped)
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla

    For the whipped cream topping:

    • 1 ½ cups (341g) heavy cream, (cold)
    • 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla

    For the optional Stabilized Whipped Cream (SEE NOTE 3):

    • 1 teaspoon plain, unflavored gelatin
    • 1 tablespoon water
    • 1 teaspoon whipping cream

    For the chocolate shavings:

    • Bar of bittersweet or semisweet chocolate.

    Instructions

    For the Oreo cookie crust:

    1. Finely grind the Oreo cookies in a food processor, then mix with melted butter. You can do this right in the processor.
    2. Press the buttered crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish, pressing with the bottom of a measuring cup to compact the crumbs into a tight, smooth crust.
    3. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to firm the crumbs, then bake for about 10 minutes until the crumbs are fragrant and set. Remove the crust from oven and let cool on a rack while preparing filling. (SEE NOTE 4)

    For the filling:

    1. Bring half-and-half (or equal parts milk and heavy cream) to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally with wooden spoon to prevent scorching on the bottom of the pan.
    2. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or in a medium bowl by hand, whisk the egg yolks until they are lightened up, about 30 seconds.
    3. Add the cornstarch, sugar, and salt, and continue whisking until the mixture is glossy and slightly thickened, and the sugar has begun to dissolve, about 1 minute.
    4. Slowly drizzle ½ cup of the hot half-and-half over the egg yolks while whisking continuously. Then whisk the egg yolk mixture back into the rest of the hot half-and-half. It should thicken in about 30 seconds. Return to simmer, whisking constantly, until 3 or 4 bubbles burst on the surface and mixture is thickened and glossy, about 15 seconds longer.
    5. Take off the heat, and whisk in butter until fully incorporated and smooth. Whisk in the semisweet and unsweetened chocolates, until fully incorporated and smooth, using a rubber spatula to scrape the bottom and sides of the pan. Whisk in the vanilla, then immediately pour through a strainer to remove and small bits of egg, then into the cooled crust.
    6. Cover with plastic wrap, gently pressing the plastic onto the filling, and chill until the filling is firm, about 4 hours.

    For the whipped cream topping (and optional stabilized whipped cream topping):

    1. If making the optional stabilized whipped cream, stir 1 teaspoon of powdered, plain gelatin into 1 tablespoon of water. Let it rest for 5 minutes so the water is fully absorbed. Heat the gelatin mixture in the microwave for 5-7 seconds so that it melts and smooths. Let it cool slightly and stir in 1 teaspoon of whipping cream.
    2. With a cold bowl and cold beaters, whip the cream and sugar until it thickens and forms soft peaks (when you lift the beaters out of the bowl the whipped cream folds over).
    3. If making the optional stabilized whipped cream, with the mixer on low, slowly pour the cooled gelatin mixture in as your mixing the whipped cream.
    4. Continue mixing the whipped cream on medium high until you have stiff peaks (when you lift the beaters out of the bowl, the whipped cream stands straight up and doesn’t fold over), but don’t over beat it or it will not have a smooth texture.
    5. Top the chilled Chocolate Cream Pie with the whipped cream. Then using a vegetable peeler, run the peeler down the thin edge of a chocolate bar to make chocolate shavings. I do this right over the pie. If you touch the shavings or if your room is warm, they will melt easily.

    6. Top the pie with the whipped cream shortly before serving. This is especially important if not using stabilized whipped cream.

    Notes

    NOTE 1: I use ⅓ cup sugar when using semisweet chocolate, and ½ cup sugar when using bittersweet chocolate.

    NOTE 2: You can use semisweet or bittersweet chocolate for this pie. I use bittersweet because it’s easier to find a good quality bittersweet chocolate bar.

    NOTE 3: I always make stabilized whipped cream. It’s just an easy extra step, but the cream stays fresh for days. Regular whipped cream will start weeping in a matter of hours, and will look quite wet and deflated the next day.

    NOTE 4: You could get away with not baking the crust, however, it would be more crumbly and break more easily when slicing. If you choose not to bake the crust, stick it in the freezer while making the chocolate custard to let the crumbs firm up.

            Oreo crumbs are both the cookie and the filling so it should work just fine.

      The older I get the more I realize that the most satisfying desserts are the sugary treats we craved as kids: cookies, sundaes, and anything with chocolate “pudding”.

      this looks so so delicious. it looks wonderful. and i would love a piece right now. it looks so smooth and creamy and full of chocolate. perhaps we have different cream here as i can't say it weeps or goes droopy:-) different cows maybe...

        Oh that's really interesting, Sherry. I've had the same problem with the brands in the US as well as in Dubai. If I put whipped cream in the fridge overnight, it gets deflated and water weeps out. That happens much faster if it's in a warm environment. Thanks so much!

      Looks amazing and I'm excited to make it. Kelly, is it best to make this pie the same day you serve it, or does it keep in the refrigerator if made the day before?

        The pie will need to chill for at least 4 hours until chilled and firm, so you can either make it earlier in the day or the day before. Top with whipped cream before serving. If using stabilized whipped cream, the cream will stay fresher longer. Otherwise with regular whipped cream, it starts getting weepy and deflating overnight. Thanks so much, Tracy! Hope you love it!
