Ingredients:
For the ground:
- 260 g oreo biscuits
- Melt 130 g butter
For the cream:
- 500 ml milk
- 1 pinch (s) of salt
- 50 g of sugar
- 45 g cornstarch
- 4 egg yolks, size M
- 75 g whole milk couverture, chopped
- 75 g dark chocolate coating, chopped
For the topping:
- 250 ml whipped cream, cold
- Chocolate chips for decorating
Preparation:
- For the bottom, the oreos are crumbled very finely and then mixed with the butter and distributed and pressed in the pie form, or a spring form of 20 - 22 cm in diameter. So the floor should first cool in the fridge for half an hour so that it can solidify nicely.
- Then it is baked at 160 ° C top / bottom heat in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Then it should cool down well again.
- When the time comes, the chocolate cream continues. First, stir the cornstarch with sugar and egg yolk and a small portion of the milk until smooth. So there are no lumps. The remaining milk is placed in a saucepan with the salt and heated on the stove. It should boil up once. Then it is slowly and carefully added to the egg yolk mixture, while stirring. Through this step, the eggs are tempered and do not clot later when boiling. When this is done, the mass is returned to the pot and boiled once. Stir continuously. The cooking process gives the mass its typical pudding consistency and the starch loses its mealy taste. Once the mass has boiled, take the pot off the stove and add the chocolate. With stirring you let them melt in the hot pudding mixture.
- As soon as the chocolate has melted completely, the mass is spread on the floor and smoothed out. So that no skin forms when cooling, a layer of cling film should be placed directly on the pudding layer. The pie should then be in the fridge for 3-4 hours.
- As soon as the pie has cooled completely, the chocolate layer is cut-resistant and the good piece can be decorated. Since it's a chocolate cream pie, add a layer of unsweetened whipped cream and a few chocolate shavings for decoration.
