- 24 Oreo cookies (with filling)
- 5 tbsp unsalted butter

- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup Ontario whole milk
- 1 cup Ontario heavy cream
- 14 oz bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt

- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 350°F (347°F).
- 2Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs.
- 3Add the melted butter to the crumbs and pulse until evenly combined.
- 4Press the crumb‑butter mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9‑inch pie dish to form an even crust.
- 5Bake the crust for 8–10 minutes, then remove and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- 6In a large heat‑proof bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, whole milk, and 1 cup heavy cream until smooth.
- 7Set the bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water (double boiler).
- 8Whisk constantly and heat the custard until it reaches 167°F (167°F) and coats the back of a spoon.
- 9Immediately pour the hot custard over the chopped chocolate in a separate bowl, stirring to melt the chocolate.
- 10Let the mixture sit for 1–2 minutes, then whisk until the filling is smooth and glossy.
- 11Stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract and 0.25 tsp salt.
- 12Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled Oreo crust, smoothing the top.
- 13Cover the surface with plastic wrap and refrigerate until fully set, at least 4 hours or overnight.
- 14In a chilled bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream with 2 tbsp sugar and 0.5 tsp vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- 15Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the set chocolate filling.
- 16Drizzle caramel sauce over the whipped cream and sprinkle flaky sea salt to taste just before serving.
