Ingredients
Cookie Crust
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed Oreo cookie crumbs (I got mine pre-crumbed at the store)
  • 4 Tbsp melted butter
Dark Chocolate and Orange Filling
  • 1 Tbsp orange zest (1 medium sized orange)
  • 300 g (10.6 oz) dark chocolate, finely chopped or thin medallions
  • 300 g (10.6 oz) heavy cream
  • 1 Tbsp butter
Instructions
Cookie Crust
  1. Mix the cookie crumbs with the melted butter, until all combined. Should be slightly sticky, and hold shape if you press it together.
  2. Pat down into a pie tin, spread evenly across the bottom and sides. Set aside.
Dark Chocolate and Orange Filling
  1. Dump zest into the heavy cream on a pot on the stove. Bring to a simmer. This way you are infusing the cream with the orange.
  2. Place finely chopped chocolate in a large, heat proof bowl.
  3. Pour the cream over the chocolate, add the butter and stir until smooth.
  4. OPTIONAL: for a stronger flavour, keep the zest in the cream, and add it to the chocolate. Otherwise, strain the zest out of the cream as you pour it over the chocolate.
  5. Be warned: sometimes ganache can 'break' and separate, since it is made of liquids and fat. If necessary, add hot milk 1 Tbsp at a time, whisking, until smooth.
  6. Pour the milk and chocolate mixture into your pie crust, and let set in the fridge for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
