This recipe creates a rich, creamy, and impressive chocolate mousse pie using a simple Oreo crust. It requires no oven time, making it an easy yet elegant dessert perfect for special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups Oreo cookie crumbs (about 25 cookies)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream, cold
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 cup heavy cream, cold (for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine the Oreo crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Chill the crust in the freezer for 15 minutes while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the cream cheese base: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Fold in chocolate: Gently fold the slightly cooled, melted semi-sweet chocolate into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Whip the cream: In a separate, clean bowl, beat 1 cup of cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  5. Combine mousse: Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in two additions until the mousse is uniform and airy.
  6. Fill the pie: Pour the chocolate mousse filling into the chilled Oreo crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm.
  7. Prepare the topping: Before serving, beat the remaining 1 cup of cold heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  8. Garnish and serve: Spread or pipe the whipped cream topping over the chilled pie. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For an even richer flavor, use dark chocolate or a mix of semi-sweet and bittersweet chocolate for the filling.
  • If you prefer a graham cracker crust, substitute the Oreo crumbs with 1 1/2 cups of finely ground graham cracker crumbs.
  • This is a fantastic make ahead dessert; it holds well in the refrigerator for up to two days.
