Chocolate Ganache Pie

Ingredients:

For the crust:

32 Oreo cookies

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

For the filling:

12 ounces semisweet or dark chocolate chips

8 ounces (1 cup) heavy cream

For garnish:

whipped cream

candied orange peel

Instructions:

Place Oreos into a food processor and blend until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Pour melted butter over the crushed cookies. Pulse until the butter is evenly distributed. Press cookie mixture into the pie pan using the back of a measuring cup and your fingers. Place in fridge or freezer while you prepare the filling.

In a small saucepan, heat the cream over medium-low heat until tiny bubbles just start to form around the edges of the pan. Do not boil or even simmer. Remove from heat and pour over chocolate chips. Leave it alone for 2 minutes and then stir until all the cream is blended with the chocolate.

Pour the ganache filling over the crust and return the fridge. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.

Garnish with whipped cream and orange peel. Cut into small slices and serve!
