Why Choose This Recipe
- Easy
- No Bake
- Addicting Smooth Chocolate Flavor
Ingredient Notes
- Heavy Cream - if you want to substitute cool whip for the fresh whipped cream you can. You will need 2 (8oz) containers.
- Oreos - Regular Oreos are fine you will just need a little more butter to hold the crust together.
Step by Step Instructions
- Crush up the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor.
- Add the butter and pulse until blended in.
- Press the crumbs into a 9 inch pie plate.
- Set Aside.
- Measure chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl or measuring cup.
- Add ½ cup heavy cream and salt.
- Microwave 20 to 30 seconds at a time to melt the chips and the mixture whisks smoothly together.
- Heat only enough to just melt the chips. If you overheat the chocolate can scorch. Also heating more than necessary makes it take forever to cool.
- Cool to room temperature. You can speed this up by placing the container in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes stirring here and there to cool faster. Keep an eye on it though because you don't want it to become too cold.
- Beat 1 cup of heavy cream, vanilla and ⅛ cup powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Carefully fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture. Make sure to fold, not stir.
- Put the chocolate mousse into the Oreo pie shell.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours. Garnish with additional whipped cream and chocolate shavings or jimmies if you would like.
Recipe FAQs and Expert Tips
It is really, really important to let the chocolate mixture cool to room temperature before folding in the whip cream. If your chocolate mousse separated, odds are you got impatient and added the whipped cream too soon.
I mentioned above that it's super important to fold in the whipped cream instead of stirring it in. This is because stirring the whipped cream breaks all the tiny air bubbles you just beat into the cream causing your pie to not be fluffy creamy. Stirring will leave you with a dense, heavy and probably runny pie.
Two to three days. After that the crust starts to get soggy.

Hi Mindy,
Is there a way to add a layer of peanut butter flavor with the chocolate mousse? We love peanut butter with our chocolate.

Could Cool Whip be used in the place of the Whipping Cream part?
