For the French Silk Filling:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or chopped semi-sweet chocolate)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature

For the Whipped Topping:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Garnish:

  • Crushed Oreos

Instructions

1. Make the Oreo Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a food processor, pulse Oreos (with filling) until fine crumbs form.
  3. In a bowl, mix crumbs with melted butter until fully combined.
  4. Press mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan.
  5. Bake for 8–10 minutes, then cool completely on a wire rack.

2. Prepare the French Silk Filling

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  2. In a large bowl, beat softened butter and powdered sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy (3–4 minutes).
  3. Add vanilla extract and melted chocolate; beat until smooth.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating for 2–3 minutes after each (a total of 5–7 minutes), until light and airy.
    *Tip: To warm the eggs for safer incorporation, let them sit in
