3. Prepare an 8-inch spring-form pan by spraying with bakers spray and lining with parchment.
4. Arrange Oreo's on the bottom of the pan.
5. Pour the filling into the pan (over the Oreo's) and bake until set, 35-40 minutes at 325 degrees.
6. Set the pie on a wire rack and let it cool completely.
7. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours before assembling cake.

1. Bring heavy cream to a boil and remove from heat.
2. With chocolate chips in a heat safe bowl, pour cream over chips and slowly stir until all chips are melted.
