Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs (about 30 cookies)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
- 1/2 cup cold heavy whipping cream (for folding)
- Whipped cream, for topping
- Chocolate shavings, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Combine the Oreo cookie crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Place the crust in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
- Make the base filling: In a large bowl, beat 1 cup of cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in the sifted powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fully combined and creamy.
- Pour the slightly cooled melted unsweetened chocolate into the cream cheese mixture. Beat until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold the reserved whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in two additions using a rubber spatula until no white streaks remain. The mixture should be light and airy.
- Pour the chocolate mousse filling into the chilled Oreo crust, smoothing the top with an offset spatula.
- Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until the filling is firm.
- Before serving, top the pie generously with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings. Slice and serve cold.
Notes
- For the smoothest filling, ensure your cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature.
- Melt the chocolate gently in a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave to prevent scorching.
- If you do not have Oreo cookies, you can substitute with graham crackers and add 2 tablespoons of sugar to the crust mixture.
