Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Crush the Oreo cookies and mix with melted unsalted butter to form the crust.

Press the crust mixture into a pie pan and bake for 10 minutes.

In a saucepan, combine granulated sugar, whole milk, and egg yolks, whisking until smooth.

Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens.

Remove from heat and stir in cornstarch, salted butter, and semi-sweet chocolate chips until melted and smooth.

Pour the chocolate filling into the baked Oreo crust.

Let the pie cool at room temperature, then refrigerate until set.

Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form, then spread over the chilled pie.
