Make this simple, no-bake chocolate mousse pie featuring a crunchy Oreo crust and a light, silky chocolate filling. It is a quick and decadent dessert perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed Oreo cookies (about 25 cookies)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup cold milk
  • 1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 1/2 cups cold heavy whipping cream, divided
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for optional topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter in a bowl until 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 with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  3. Prepare the mousse filling: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the cold milk and instant chocolate pudding mix for two minutes until it begins to thicken. Let it sit for five minutes.
  4. Fold in the whipped cream: In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined.
  5. Combine the mixtures: Fold the thickened chocolate pudding mixture into the cream cheese and whipped cream base until smooth and uniform. Do not overmix.
  6. Fill the crust: Spoon the chocolate mousse filling evenly into the chilled Oreo crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Chill the pie: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the mousse is firm.
  8. Prepare the topping (optional): In a small saucepan, heat the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream until simmering. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth to create a ganache. Let the ganache cool slightly, then spread it over the chilled pie.
  9. Serve: Slice and serve the pie cold. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • For the fluffiest mousse, make sure your cream cheese is fully softened before mixing.
  • If you prefer a taller pie, use a 10-inch pie plate, but note that the filling will be thinner.
  • You can substitute graham cracker crumbs for Oreos if you prefer a non-chocolate crust.
