In fact, if you want it to be even easier, you can buy a pre-made Oreo Cookie crust and avoid baking. This recipe features mascarpone cheese, in this case, ultra-creamy Crave Brothers Farmstead Classics Mascarpone. The cheese gives this easy-does-it pie a rich, silkiness that offsets the sweetness of the chocolate.

Tester’s note: Be sure the mascarpone is room temperature to ensure it’s easy to blend in the melted chocolate. If it’s too cold, it’ll be difficult to blend and will cause pieces of the melted chocolate to harden.
