Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
- Prepare the crust: In a food processor, pulse 22 Oreos (including the cream filling) into a fine crumb. Pour crumbs into a large bowl and mix with melted butter.
- Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish, packing it down into the bottom and up the sides. Bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
- Make the ganache: Place chopped chocolate in a bowl. Heat the cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it simmers, then pour over the chocolate. Let sit for 2-3 minutes. Stir gently until smooth, then add hazelnut liqueur (optional). Let the ganache cool and thicken.
- Prepare the filling: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
- In the same bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add Nutella, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla, and beat until combined. Gently fold in the whipped cream.
- Spread the filling into the cooled pie crust, smoothing it with a spatula.
- Top with the ganache, then sprinkle with toasted hazelnuts and a pinch of flaky sea salt.
- Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.
- Make whipped cream to garnish if desired. Pipe around the edges of the pie. Slice and serve cold.
