Ingredients

Scale

Crust:

  • 30 Oreo Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
  • 4 tbsp butter, melted

Bottom Layer:

  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup full-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Middle Layer:

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup hot water
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup Peanut Butter & Co. Milk Chocolatey Hazelnut Spread
  • 2 cups heavy cream, very cold (1 cup reserved for top layer)
  • 3 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Top Layer:

  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 6 oz softened cream cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream, very cold (reserved from middle layer)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Crust: Lightly grease the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan. In a blender or food processor, blend the Oreo cookies until finely crushed. Mix in the melted butter and press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan to form the crust.
  2. Make Bottom Layer Chocolate: Melt 1 cup milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second bursts, stirring in between until smooth and creamy. Let cool for 10-15 minutes to prevent seizing.
  3. Mix Bottom Layer Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine 2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder, 3/4 cup full-fat Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup white sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract, stirring until smooth. Add the cooled melted chocolate and mix until fully combined.
  4. Assemble Bottom Layer: Pour this mixture over the Oreo crust in the pan. Place the pan in the freezer while preparing the next layer.
  5. Prepare Middle Layer Whipped Cream: Using a stand mixer, beat 2 cups heavy cream, 3 tbsp powdered sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  6. Melt Middle Layer Chocolate: Melt 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips in the microwave in 15-second bursts, stirring until smooth and creamy. Allow to cool 10-15 minutes.
  7. Mix Cocoa and Water: In the same bowl used for the bottom layer, whisk 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder with 1/2 cup hot water until smooth and cooled.
  8. Combine Middle Layer Ingredients: Add the cooled melted chocolate and 1 cup Peanut Butter & Co. Milk Chocolatey Hazelnut Spread to the cocoa mixture. Beat with a hand mixer until creamy and smooth.
  9. Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently stir the whipped heavy cream into the chocolate peanut butter mixture until completely combined.
  10. Assemble Middle Layer: Pour the mousse evenly over the bottom layer in the pan and smooth the top. Return to freezer.
  11. Prepare Top Layer: In the stand mixer bowl, mix the remaining 1 cup cold heavy cream, 6 oz softened cream cheese, and 1/2 cup white sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy.
  12. Assemble Top Layer: Pour this cream cheese whipped topping evenly over the middle layer and smooth with a spatula.
  13. Freeze Pie: Cover the pie tightly and freeze for 4-6 hours until fully set.
  14. Optional Decoration: To decorate, use a vegetable peeler on a chocolate bar to create chocolate curls and sprinkle on top before serving.

Notes

  • Allow melted chocolate to cool before mixing with other ingredients to prevent seizing and grainy texture.
  • Be sure to use full-fat Greek yogurt for the best creamy consistency in the bottom layer.
  • Heavy cream should be very cold to whip properly and achieve stiff peaks.
  • Freezing the pie for at least 4 hours is essential for proper setting and texture.
  • You can substitute Peanut Butter & Co. Milk Chocolatey Hazelnut Spread with any milk chocolate hazelnut spread or peanut butter chocolate blend.
  • Use an 8-inch springform pan for easy removal of the pie layers.
