Instructions
1. Prepare the Oreo Crust
- In a food processor, crush the Oreos into fine crumbs.
- Mix the crushed Oreos with the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the Oreo mixture into the bottom of a pie dish, ensuring an even layer on the base and up the sides.
- Refrigerate the crust while you prepare the caramel and chocolate layers.
2. Make the Salted Caramel Layer
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar, stirring constantly until it turns into a golden amber color (this takes about 5-7 minutes).
- Carefully add the butter and stir until smooth.
- Slowly pour in the heavy cream, being cautious as it will bubble.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt, then let the caramel simmer for 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and cool slightly before pouring over the Oreo crust.
- Refrigerate until the caramel sets, about 30 minutes.
3. Prepare the Dark Chocolate Ganache
- Place the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just starts to simmer.
- Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 1-2 minutes.
- Stir the mixture until smooth, adding the butter for extra creaminess.
- Let the ganache cool slightly before pouring it over the salted caramel layer.
4. Assemble and Chill
- Pour the ganache evenly over the caramel layer, spreading it to the edges.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours, or overnight for best results, until fully set.
5. Serve and Enjoy
- Before serving, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top for that perfect salty-sweet balance.
- Top with whipped cream or extra crushed Oreos, if desired.
