I have pie, pie and more pie on the brain!  How about you?  This irresistible chocolate mousse pie is a Thanksgiving must!  The rich, smooth chocolate mousse will make you guests think you spent hours slaving away to achieve such perfection.  Little do they know that this no bake pie is so easy you'll make it again and again!  So, chocolate lovers beware....this will be your new addiction!

How to make:

• For this pie I cheat and use a pre-made oreo pie shell.  If I buy a package of oreos they will get eaten in the blink of an eye.  No one has tried to eat a pre-made oreo crust yet.  Yet, being the keyword here.  
• Combine ½ cup of heavy cream,  1 cup of chocolate chips, a teaspoon of vanilla and a pinch of salt over a double boiler or in a microwave safe bowl.  Heat until the chocolate chips are melted and everything blends together smooth. If using a microwave just keep a close eye on it so the chocolate doesn't scorch.
• Let the chocolate mixture cool to room temperature.
• Beat 1 cup of heavy cream and ⅛ cup 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.

Why did my chocolate mousse separate? 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. Why fold instead of stir? 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. How to fold in the whipped cream: Folding ingredients like whipped cream into things is super easy.  Instead of a quick horizontal circular mixing motion you will take a spatula and lift the contents on the bottom to the top in slower, continual vertical motions.  How long is this  pie good for? Two to three days.  After that the crust starts to get soggy. Substitutions: If you would prefer to use cool whip instead of whipping your own whipped cream, you will need 2 cups or one 8 oz container of cool whip to fold into the chocolate part of the pie.  If you would like to make your own oreo crust I highly recommend using the oreos with the chocolate filling. The chocolate filling is a little more moist which will hold your crust together better.
