Chocolate Cream Pie Squares Recipes Recipe

Step 1 :

• Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Grease a 10x16-inch rimmed sheet pan with 1 tablespoon room-temperature butter and set aside.

Step 2 :

• Place the Oreos in the bowl of a food processor and pulverize until fine.
• Add the melted butter and continue to process until the crumbs hold together when squeezed, about five (1-second) pulses.
• Turn the cookie crumbs out onto the prepared sheet pan and, with the bottom of a measuring cup, press them to the edges of the prepared pan in an even layer. (Don’t worry about working the crumbs up the sides of the pan.)
• Bake the crust until it is set, about 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Step 3 :

• Add the chocolate and 1 1/4 cups cream to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely melted, about 1 1/2 minutes.
• Whisk until glossy and smooth.
• Whisk in the remaining tablespoon of room-temperature butter and pour the chocolate mixture over the baked crust, spreading it evenly with an offset spatula.
• Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the filling is completely set, about 2 hours.

Step 4 :

• Combine the remaining 1 1/4 cups cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla in a medium-size bowl.
• Beat with a handheld mixer or a whisk (or using a stand mixer fitted with a whisk) at medium-high speed until the mixture forms stiff peaks.
• Spread the cream over the chocolate filling.
• Slice into 20 bars and serve.
• 1 The bars will keep in an airtight container (or in the sheet pan covered with plastic wrap) in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
