Topping
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • 1 9-inch pie pan (Glass or metal both work)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush cookies into fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter and sugar until it looks like wet sand. Press into bottom and sides of 9-inch pie pan. Bake 8 minutes, then cool.
  2. Melt butter and chocolate in saucepan over low heat. Whisk in sugar, then eggs one at a time. Stir in vanilla, flour, and salt. Spread over cooled crust. Bake 25–30 min until edges set. Cool completely.
  3. Whisk pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes until thick. Spread evenly over cooled brownie layer. Chill 2 hours.
  4. Beat cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form (3–4 min). Spread over pudding layer.
  5. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before slicing. Garnish with chocolate shavings.
