- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Chocolate Pudding
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 pint heavy cream
- 3/4 cups skim milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions
Oreo Crust
- Grease a 9 inch round pie dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Place oreos, butter, vanilla, and salt into a food processor.
- Process until the mixture resembles a fine crumb.
- Pour into the prepared pie dish.
- Use the bottom of a glass to compact the crust firmly into the bottom of the dish and halfway up the sides.
- Chill the crust in the fridge for 30 minutes before filling.
Chocolate Pudding Pie
- Place sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt into a medium sized saucepan.
- Whisk until no lumps remain.
- Whisk in heavy cream and milk.
- Place over medium heat and bring to a light boil (it’ll look like slow, thick bubbles), whisking occasionally.
- Once bubbling, whisk constantly (it’ll get thick quick) and cook for 1 minute, the mixture should be thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon.
- Remove from heat, and whisk in butter and vanilla.
- Let cool for 5 minutes, then re-whisk (a film will form) and pour into crust.
- Cover with plastic (the plastic will stick to the top of the pudding - that's good, this keeps a film from forming) and chill until the pudding has set, at least 30 minutes to an hour.
- Slice and serve with optional garnishes.
