Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Pulse Oreo cookies in a food processor, transfer to a bowl, combine with melted butter, press into pie plate, and bake for 15 minutes. Cool completely.
  2. Melt bittersweet chocolate, unsalted butter, and vegetable oil in a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Whisk in dark brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, cocoa powder, and flour. Pour over cooled crust and bake for 15 minutes. Cool completely in the fridge.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush additional Oreos, combine with cocoa powder and powdered sugar, drizzle in melted butter, spread on baking sheet, bake for about 10 minutes, and cool completely.
  4. Melt milk chocolate to 90-100°F. Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and cocoa until soft peaks form. Fold half into melted chocolate, then incorporate remaining whipped cream. Spread over cooled brownie layer.
