Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl. Press the mixture firmly and evenly 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 combined.
  3. Prepare the mousse filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cold milk and instant chocolate pudding mix for two minutes until it begins to thicken slightly. Let it sit for five minutes.
  4. Combine the filling: Gently fold the pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture until just combined.
  5. Whip the cream: In a clean, chilled bowl, beat 1 cup of the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until no streaks remain, creating an airy mousse. Do not overmix.
  6. Assemble the pie: Pour the chocolate mousse filling into the chilled Oreo crust and spread evenly. Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm.
  7. Prepare the topping: Before serving, pour the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream and the granulated sugar into a bowl. Beat until stiff peaks form.
  8. Serve: Top the chilled pie with the fresh whipped cream. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For the best texture, ensure your cream cheese is fully softened before mixing.
  • Chill the pie for a minimum of 4 hours; overnight chilling results in the firmest, silkiest texture.
  • If you prefer a chocolate topping, fold 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder into the heavy cream before whipping for the topping.
