Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups Oreo cookie crumbs (about 25 cookies)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup heavy cream, divided
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups cold heavy cream, for whipping
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar, for topping
  • Chocolate shavings, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine the Oreo crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Press the mixture firmly 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. Melt the chocolate: Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a medium, heat-safe bowl. Heat 1/4 cup of the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let it sit for 5 minutes. Whisk until the chocolate is completely smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Make the mousse base: In a separate bowl, beat the remaining 3/4 cup of heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until soft peaks form.
  4. Fold the mixtures: Gently fold the slightly cooled melted chocolate mixture into the whipped cream until just combined and no streaks remain. Do not overmix; you want to keep the mixture light.
  5. Fill and chill: Pour the chocolate mousse filling into the chilled Oreo crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the mousse is firm.
  6. Prepare the topping: Before serving, whip the 1 1/2 cups of cold heavy cream with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  7. Serve: Spread or pipe the whipped cream topping over the chilled pie. Garnish with chocolate shavings. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For the best texture, ensure the melted chocolate mixture is not hot when you fold it into the whipped cream.
  • You can substitute graham cracker crumbs for the Oreo crumbs if you prefer a different crust flavor.
  • This is an excellent make-ahead dessert; it holds well in the refrigerator for up to two days.
