Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel Oreo Pie (Siobhan)

~Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel Oreo Pie~

I always love doing pies for Thanksgiving. I love baking, and hunting for amazing pie recipes is so much fun. This year Mom did the turkeys for Thanksgiving, and we were very busy, so I wanted to find a pie that was delicious, but easy. This 5-ingredient chocolate pie was perfect!

Ingredients

(Yields 2 chocolate pies)
1 package family-size oreos 
1 cup(12 tablespoons) butter, divided
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/4 cup heavy cream, divided
2 (12 oz) bags dark chocolate chips
 First, crush your oreos in a food processor or blender. Stir with 8 tablespoons of melted butter until well mixed. Press crust into two 8-inch pie pans. Freeze for 10 minutes.
 Mix 8 tablespoons of butter with brown sugar in a saucepan. Cook on medium heat, whisking constantly until bubbles form. Keep cooking for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Slowly whisk 1/4 cup heavy cream into the mixture. Pour into crusts and freeze for 35-40 minutes until the caramel is chilled and set, but not frozen.
 Bring the remaining 1 cup heavy cream to a simmer over medium heat. Pour over chocolate chips. Let sit for 1 minute, and then whisk until very smooth. Pour chocolate over caramel and freeze for 30 minutes or store in fridge.
 This pie was SO good! It is very rich, so plan on cutting small slices.
Enjoy!
