Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups crushed Oreo cookies (about 25 cookies)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 1/2 cups cold milk
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for topping)
- Chocolate shavings, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Combine the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter in a medium bowl. Press the mixture firmly 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 pudding base: In a large bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes until slightly thickened. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
- Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Combine fillings: Gently fold the cream cheese mixture into the prepared pudding until fully incorporated.
- Create the mousse: In a clean bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold about one-third of the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture to lighten it, then gently fold in the remaining whipped cream until just combined, creating a fluffy mousse. Do not overmix.
- Assemble the pie: Spoon the chocolate mousse filling evenly into the chilled Oreo crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Chill: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until the mousse is firm.
- Serve: Before serving, top the pie with additional whipped cream (if desired) and garnish with chocolate shavings. Slice and serve cold.
Notes
- This pie is excellent for meal planning; it tastes best when made a day ahead.
- If you prefer a richer crust, use 8 ounces of chocolate wafer cookies instead of Oreos.
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, consider adding 2 ounces of melted, cooled semi-sweet chocolate to the cream cheese mixture.
