Description
A rich and creamy chocolate pie with a flavorful mascarpone filling, perfect for chocolate lovers.
Ingredients
- 24 Oreo or chocolate sandwich cookies
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 8 oz high-quality dark chocolate, finely chopped
- 16 oz mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup coffee liqueur (like Kahlúa)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Chocolate shavings for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a pie pan to create a crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool.
- In a heatproof bowl, melt the finely chopped dark chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, coffee liqueur, and vanilla extract. Beat until silky smooth, then gently fold in melted chocolate.
- In another bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mascarpone mixture until smooth.
- Pour the filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- Before serving, sprinkle with chocolate shavings for elegance.
Notes
Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. Let the melted chocolate cool before mixing to avoid a runny texture.
