    If you're looking for a rich and creamy chocolate pie, look no further! Chocolate silk pie is a chocoholic's dream! An Oreo cookie crust is paired with fresh whipped cream, milk and dark chocolate mousse, and chocolate curls. 

    This decadent dessert is easy to prepare, yet it's a step above your average chocolate cream pie.

    How to make chocolate curls

    It's so much fun to create chocolate curls! Use a standard vegetable peeler on a large, room temperature Hershey's  Milk Chocolate bar (no nuts). Gently peel strips off the bar, rotating as the chocolate warms in your hands. Get creative and try peeling on different sides, and even the bottom flat surface of the Hershey bar.

    A variety of curls really adds to your presentation! Once you have enough curls, set them aside in the refrigerator to keep them firm. They're quite delicate, so you don't want to handle them until you're ready to use them.

    It's easy to make the chocolate cookie crust in a food processor. Just add whole Oreo Cookies and blend until they become crumbs. You can also put the Oreos in a Zip-loc bag and smash them with a rolling pin. Then add melted butter and blend. Press the crumb mixture onto the bottom and up the sides of your pie pan and chill.

    You brush melted milk chocolate over the crushed Oreo crust, then chill again. This adds a thin "shell" layer and keeps crust from getting soggy.

    This chocolate silk pie is similar to a French silk pie or chocolate satin pie with a truffle like filling.To make the filling, whip egg yolks with melted milk and semi sweet chocolates, then fold them into whipping cream, like you would chocolate mousse.

    For the grand finale, spread a pile of whipped cream gently over top of pie to within 1-2 inches of pie edge. And garnish with chocolate shavings and chocolate curls for a beautiful finish. Refrigerate for several hours before serving. Refrigerating the pie will make it easier to cut into clean, firm slices.

    Ingredients

    For Crust

    • 24 Oreo Cookies including filling
    • ¼ cup melted butter

    For Filling

    • 6 ounces milk chocolate chips about 1 cup
    • 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips about 1 cup
    • 3 egg yolks beaten
    • 6 tablespoons water
    • 2 cups whipping cream
    • ½ cup sugar
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla

    Instructions

    For Crust

    • In a food processor, add the whole Oreo Cookies and blend until they become crumbs. Add melted butter and blend. (You can also put the Oreos in a plastic bag and smash them with a rolling pin.)
    • Place crumb mixture in 9 or 10-inch pie pan and press onto the bottom and up the sides evenly. Refrigerate crust for at least an hour before adding filling.

    For Pie

    • Whip cream until thick. Add sugar and vanilla. Divide in half and set aside.
    • Melt milk chocolate in double boiler over low heat. Spread 3 tablespoons milk chocolate on bottom of Oreo crust. Chill.
    • To remaining milk chocolate in double boiler, add semi-sweet chocolate, stir until melted. Add egg yolks and water to chocolate in double boiler. Mix together. If chocolate hardens, just keep mixing and it will smooth out. Set aside chocolate mixture to cool and thicken.
    • When cool, fold chocolate mixture into ½ of whipped cream. Next, layer the chocolate-egg yolk-whipped cream mixture into pie.
    • Top with remaining whipped cream (this will be ½ of your original whipping cream) and gently spread 1-2 inches from edge of pie.
    • Garnish with chocolate shavings and chocolate curls. (Use a standard vegetable peeler on a large, room temperature Hershey's Milk Chocolate bar-- no nuts. Gently peel strips off the bar, rotating as the chocolate warms in your hands). Refrigerate for several hours or overnight before serving.
