Ingredients

Units Scale

Chocolate Mousse

  • 2 Tbsp salted butter, diced
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1/3 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups heavy whipping cream

Crust

  • 1 Oreo pie crust

Toppings

  • 1 cup (235ml) heavy cream
  • 2 Tbsp (25g) granulated sugar
  • Chocolate shavings, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Melt the Chocolate Base: In a large saucepan over low heat, combine the butter, whole milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, bittersweet chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are fully melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla extract, and allow the mixture to cool for 1 hour at room temperature.
  2. Prepare the Whipped Cream: Add 1 3/4 cups heavy whipping cream to a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream until stiff peaks form, being careful not to overwhip.
  3. Fold Cream into Chocolate: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture. Use a spatula to combine until the mixture becomes light, fluffy and uniform in color. Avoid overmixing to maintain the mousse’s airy texture.
  4. Fill the Pie Crust: Pour the finished chocolate mousse into the prepared Oreo pie crust. Use a spatula to spread the mousse evenly in the crust.
  5. Chill the Pie: Transfer the pie to the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours to allow the mousse to set firmly.
  6. Make Whipped Cream Topping: In a clean mixing bowl, combine 1 cup heavy cream with the granulated sugar. Whip until stiff peaks form, ensuring the mixture is smooth and holds its shape.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Spread the sweetened whipped cream over the chilled mousse pie. Garnish generously with chocolate shavings. Chill until ready to serve and slice before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use high-quality chocolate chips.
  • Chilling the pie overnight yields a firmer texture.
  • Add a pinch of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
  • Oreo crust can be homemade or store-bought for convenience.
