Chocolate Peppermint Silk Pie

You guys are either going to love me or hate, but probably both.  This pie is to die for!  First of all, the Oreo crust is heavenly, second, the peppermint flavor is just enough to give this pie the kick it needs!  It's so rich and delicious.. I'm drooling just writing about it now!  If you don't make this for Christmas then I'll be disappointed in you, and so will your family.  And of course like I mention with every recipe, it's incredibly easy!
(And please excuse my pictures- not my best, and I didn't have a pie tin so ignore the cake pan, even though it worked out just fine!)


What you need:
crust:
22 Oreos (chocolate filling)- crushed finely
1/4 cup butter- melted
filling:
2 cups (12 oz bag) semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup peppermint flavored liquid coffee creamer 

Crushed candy canes for garnish



For the crust:
- Mix crushed Oreos and butter in a bowl with fork.  Press into the bottom and sides of a pie pan.
- Put in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to chill.

For filling:
- In a microwave safe bowl, heat the heavy whipping cream and creamer for 90 seconds.
- In a separate bowl, pour the chocolate chips in.
- Once the cream is done, pour it over the chocolate chips and let sit for at least 30 seconds.
- Whisk until smooth.  If the chocolate chips don't melt, put the bowl in the microwave for 20 seconds.  Whisk.
- Pour mixture over the pie crust.
- Chill in fridge for at least 4 hours.
- Let pie sit at room temperature for 10-20 minutes.
- Sprinkle with crushed candy canes before serving.
