If you're looking for a delicious dessert that's easy to make, then you'll love this no-bake chocolate mousse pie with an Oreo crust. This pie is perfect for any occasion, whether it's a birthday party, a holiday gathering, or just a special treat for yourself.
Ingredients
For the crust:
- 24 Oreo cookies
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the filling:
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
Instructions
1. To make the crust, crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor until they are finely ground. Add the melted butter and pulse until the mixture is well combined.
2. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the back of a spoon to smooth out the crust. Refrigerate the crust for at least 30 minutes.
3. To make the filling, heat the heavy cream, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
4. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and chopped chocolate until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth.
5. Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared crust and smooth out the top. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the filling has set.
6. Serve chilled with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, if desired.
Tips
- For best results, use high-quality chocolate.
- Be sure to use heavy cream, not whipped cream or half-and-half.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can crush the cookies in a plastic bag using a rolling pin.
- To make the chocolate shavings, use a vegetable peeler to shave thin strips of chocolate off of a bar.
- If you want a stronger chocolate flavor, you can use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet.
