Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (about 24 Oreo cookies)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 1/2 cups cold milk
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for whipped cream)
  • 1/4 cup chocolate shavings, for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until fully combined. 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.
  2. Make the cream cheese base: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Prepare the mousse filling: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about two minutes until it begins to thicken.
  4. Combine the fillings: Gently fold the pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture until just combined.
  5. Prepare the whipped topping: In a clean, chilled bowl, beat 1 cup of the heavy whipping cream with the granulated sugar until stiff peaks form. Reserve the remaining 1 cup of heavy whipping cream for later.
  6. Fold in the whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until no streaks remain, creating a silky mousse texture.
  7. Assemble the pie: Pour the chocolate mousse filling into the chilled Oreo crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Chill the pie: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is completely set.
  9. Make the final topping: Before serving, beat the remaining 1 cup of heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled pie.
  10. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the top with chocolate shavings. Slice and serve this indulgent dessert immediately.

Notes

  • For an even richer flavor, substitute the milk in the pudding step with heavy cream.
  • If you do not have Oreo cookies, you can use graham crackers and add 2 tablespoons of sugar to the crust mixture.
  • This pie holds up well for up to two days in the refrigerator, making it a great make-ahead dessert.
