Ingredients
Oreo Crust
- 22 regular Oreo cookies (not Double Stuf)
- 5 tablespoons (71g) unsalted butter, melted
Chocolate Mousse Layer
- 8 ounces (226g) unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter
- 4 large egg whites (120g)
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 2 cups (480ml) heavy cream, cold
- 6 Oreos, crushed (68g)
Whipped Cream Topping
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, cold
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: chocolate curls
Instructions
1. Make the Crust
- Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor.
- Mix with melted butter until evenly moistened.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
- Refrigerate while preparing the mousse.
2. Prepare the Chocolate Mousse
- Melt the chopped chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water. Let cool.
- In a second heatproof bowl, whisk egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar.
- Place the bowl over simmering water and whisk until sugar dissolves and mixture reaches 160°F.
- Remove from heat and beat until glossy stiff peaks form.
- In another bowl, whip the cold heavy cream to soft peaks.
- Fold the cooled chocolate into the egg whites, then gently fold in the whipped cream.
- Stir in the crushed Oreos.
- Spoon mousse into the chilled crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate 6 hours or overnight.
3. Make the Whipped Cream
- Beat heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
- Spread or pipe on top of the chilled pie.
- Garnish with chocolate curls.
Notes
- Use regular Oreos, not Double Stuf, to keep the crust firm.
- Melt chocolate slowly to avoid burning.
- Egg whites whip best at room temperature.
- For the tallest mousse, don’t deflate the whipped cream—fold gently.
- Chill the pie fully for the cleanest slices.
- Add chocolate curls right before serving for the freshest look.
