A rich and indulgent frozen dessert that combines the flavors of Mexican hot chocolate with a creamy filling, nestled in a chocolate cookie crust.

Ingredients

1	can (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/4	cup milk (at room temperature)
1	package (11 1/2 ounce) package milk chocolate chips
2	teaspoons vanilla
1 1/4	teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/8	teaspoon cayenne pepper
2	cups 2 cups heavy cream
1	package (6 ounce) package Oreo cookie pie crusts

Instructions

• 1. Begin by placing the beaters and mixing bowl in the freezer to chill. This step is crucial for whipping the heavy cream to perfection.
  2. Next, melt the milk chocolate chips either in a double boiler or the microwave. To avoid burning the chocolate, microwave for two minutes at 50% power. Allow the chocolate to cool.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and room temperature milk until well combined.
  4. Gradually whisk in the melted chocolate until smooth and fully incorporated.
  5. Add the vanilla, ground cinnamon, and a hint of cayenne pepper for a subtle kick of heat.
  6. Retrieve the chilled bowl and beaters from the freezer. Beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  7. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture to create a light and airy filling.
  8. Transfer 3 cups of the chocolate mixture into a freezer-proof bowl, cover, and set aside.
  9. Pour the remaining chocolate mixture into the Oreo cookie pie crust, spreading it evenly.
  10. Place both the bowl and the pie in the freezer for 2 hours to set.
  11. After 2 hours, top the pie with the reserved chocolate mixture from the bowl.
  12. Return the pie to the freezer and let it freeze overnight to fully set.
  13. Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings for added decadence.
  14. Note: The preparation time does not include the initial 2 hours in the freezer for setting.
