Method
 

Making the Pie
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a food processor, pulse the Oreo cookies to create fine crumbs. Mix with melted unsalted butter.
  3. Press the mixture into the base and sides of the pie dish. Bake for 10 minutes and cool completely.
  4. In a saucepan over low heat, whisk together the granulated sugar and large eggs until it reaches 160°F (71°C).
  5. Remove from heat and stir in bittersweet chocolate and vanilla extract until smooth. Allow to cool.
  6. Beat the room temperature unsalted butter until fluffy. Gradually add the cooled chocolate mixture and beat until airy.
  7. Whip the cold heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold into the chocolate mixture gently.
  8. Pour the filling into the cooled Oreo crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
  9. Before serving, whip more cold heavy cream and powdered sugar for the topping. Spread over the pie.
  10. Garnish with chocolate shavings or cocoa powder and serve chilled.
