It is finished with chopped toasted hazelnuts, flaky sea salt, and optional hazelnut liqueur-infused whipped cream for an indulgent dessert perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 22 whole Oreo cookies (250g; not Double Stuf)
  • 4 Tablespoons (56g) unsalted butter, melted

Ganache

  • 6 ounces (170g) semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • 3/4 cup (180g/ml) heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons Frangelico hazelnut liqueur (optional)

Filling

  • 1 cup (240g/ml) heavy cream, cold
  • 8 ounces (226g) full-fat brick cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 and 1/3 cups (375g) Nutella
  • 1/2 cup (60g) confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Topping and Garnish

  • 1/4 cup (30g) chopped toasted hazelnuts
  • Flaky sea salt
  • Whipped cream (optionally add 2 tablespoons Frangelico hazelnut liqueur with the sugar when making the whipped cream)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven. Set your oven to 350°F (177°C) to prepare for baking the crust.
  2. Bake the crust. Crush 22 Oreos in a food processor or blender into fine crumbs, about 2 cups. Mix with melted butter until combined. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of an ungreased 9-inch pie dish to form a thick crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then allow it to cool completely.
  3. Make the ganache. Place finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Heat 3/4 cup heavy cream in a saucepan until it just begins to simmer, then pour over the chocolate. Let sit 2–3 minutes, add hazelnut liqueur if using, and stir gently until smooth. Set ganache aside to cool and thicken at room temperature.
  4. Prepare the whipped cream. Beat 1 cup cold heavy cream with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form (about 3–4 minutes). Transfer whipped cream to a separate bowl and set aside.
  5. Make the filling. Using the same bowl, switch to paddle attachment if using a stand mixer. Beat softened cream cheese on medium-high speed until smooth and lump-free. Add Nutella, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla extract; beat until incorporated even if mixture looks thick or slightly separated. Gently fold in the reserved whipped cream until smooth and combined.
  6. Assemble the pie. Spread the Nutella filling evenly into the cooled Oreo crust using a spatula.
  7. Add ganache topping. Spread the slightly thickened ganache over the filling evenly. Sprinkle with chopped toasted hazelnuts and a pinch of flaky sea salt for texture and flavor contrast.
  8. Chill the pie. Refrigerate the pie for at least 6 hours and up to 48 hours before serving. Cover loosely if chilling longer than a day.
  9. Garnish with whipped cream. Prepare whipped cream again, optionally adding 2 tablespoons Frangelico with sugar for flavor. Pipe or dollop whipped cream decoratively around the pie edges just before serving.
  10. Slice and serve. Cut the chilled pie into slices and enjoy. Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • Use original Oreos, not Double Stuf, for the best crust texture.
  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling.
  • Let the ganache cool to slightly thickened consistency before spreading to avoid melting the filling.
  • Chilling the pie allows flavors to meld and ensures a firm slice.
  • Optional Frangelico hazelnut liqueur adds a warm nutty flavor to ganache and whipped cream.
  • Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
