Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups crushed chocolate cookie crumbs (such as Oreos, with filling)
- 1/4 cup melted butter
For the Filling:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate (melted and cooled)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Topping:
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- Chocolate shavings or curls for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Crust: Mix chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter, press into an 8×8-inch baking dish, and bake for 8 minutes. Cool completely.
- Make the Filling: Cream softened butter and granulated sugar, then add melted chocolate, vanilla extract, and eggs one at a time. Beat until silky.
- Assemble: Spread chocolate filling over the crust. Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form, then spread over the chocolate layer.
- Chill: Refrigerate the bars for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chocolate shavings, cut into squares, and serve chilled.
Notes
- Use pasteurized eggs or egg substitute if concerned about raw eggs.
- For a shortcut, use a store-bought chocolate crust.
- Best made a day ahead for layers to set.
