Ingredients

• Sugar: adds those classic crisp edges and balances chocolate bittersweet tones use pure cane sugar when possible
• Brown sugar: for chewy texture and a touch of caramel flavor firmly pack for accurate measuring
• Vanilla extract: rounds out the sweetness real vanilla makes the fragrance irresistible
• Butter: delivers tenderness and that fresh bakery aroma let it soften at room temperature for easier mixing

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Oven:

Set your oven temperature to three hundred twenty five degrees Give it time to thoroughly preheat so the pie bakes evenly throughout

Whip the Eggs:

Crack two large eggs into a mixer bowl Beat them on high speed until they are very foamy and doubled in volume This creates a light fluffy base for your filling

Mix in Dry Ingredients and Vanilla:

Pour in the flour Oreo crumbs brown sugar white sugar and vanilla extract Mix on medium speed just until combined The texture should be thick and uniform with all sugars dissolved into the eggs

Beat in Butter:

Add softened butter to your bowl Use medium speed to mix until the butter is fully blended and your mixture is glossy with no chunks of butter visible Scrape down the sides to ensure an even mix

Fold in White Chocolate Chips:

Add your chips and gently stir with a spatula You want every scoop of filling to have some chocolate distributed throughout

Fill the Pie Shell:

Spoon the mixture into your unbaked deep dish shell Use an offset spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth the top so it is even from edge to edge

Add Oreo Chunks:

Nestle the quartered Oreo cookies across the surface of the filling Press them in about halfway so they are visible but will still bake into the top layer This creates beautiful texture and flavor pockets

Bake:

Place your pie in the oven and bake for one hour After fifty five minutes check on the top—it should appear crisp golden and set around the Oreo pieces If unsure test by inserting a knife just remember melted chocolate may make it seem gooey so go more by the pie’s appearance

Cool and Slice:

Let your pie cool in the pan for at least twenty minutes before slicing This helps the filling set enough to cut cleanly with a sharp knife

The white chocolate chips are my personal secret to the perfect creamy bites mixed with the crunchy cookies I remember my son sneaking extra chips into the bowl and swearing his were the best slices because of it This pie always reminds me of cheerful baking mornings in our kitchen together
