Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups crushed Oreo cookies (about 24 cookies)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 package (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 container (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed (or homemade whipped cream)
  • 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted and slightly cooled (for optional ganache layer)
  • Chocolate shavings, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oreo Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Chill the crust in the freezer for at least 15 minutes 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 until fully combined.
  3. Mix the Mousse Filling: Add the milk and instant chocolate pudding mix to the cream cheese mixture. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, until the mixture thickens slightly. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in half of the thawed whipped topping until just combined. This creates the light, airy texture of the chocolate mousse.
  5. Assemble the Pie: Spread the chocolate mousse filling evenly over the chilled Oreo crust.
  6. Add Optional Ganache Layer: If using, pour the slightly cooled melted semi-sweet chocolate over the mousse layer and spread carefully to create an even layer.
  7. Chill: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is completely set. For best results, chill overnight.
  8. Top and Serve: Before serving, spread the remaining whipped topping over the set pie. Garnish with chocolate shavings. Slice and enjoy this indulgent dessert idea.

Notes

  • For an extra decadent touch, use a French mousse pie style by folding in stiffly beaten egg whites instead of relying solely on instant pudding for lightness.
  • If you prefer a graham cracker crust, substitute 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs mixed with 1/4 cup sugar and 6 tablespoons melted butter.
  • This recipe works well as a make ahead dessert; it keeps well in the refrigerator for up to three days.
  • If you want a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips when melting for the optional ganache layer.
