Instructions
Crust:
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the Oreo crumbs and melted butter together in a medium bowl. Press tightly into the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-inch pie dish.
-
Bake for 18 minutes. Allow cooling completely.
Chocolate Mousse Layer:
-
Microwave the chopped chocolate and butter together in a large heat-proof bowl, stopping and stirring every 15 seconds until completely melted. Set aside.
-
Place egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar in a heatproof bowl. Set bowl over a saucepan filled with two inches of simmering water.
-
Whisk constantly until sugar is dissolved for about 4 minutes. Transfer the mixing bowl to an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment.
-
Beat on high speed for 5 to 6 minutes until soft, glossy peaks form. Gently fold the mixture into the chocolate.
Whipped Cream Layer:
-
Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the 2 cups of heavy cream on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 4 to 5 minutes.
-
Gently fold whipped cream into the chocolate/egg white mixture. Careful not to overmix.
-
Spread ½ of the mousse into cooled pie crust. Top with Oreo crumbs.
-
Top with remaining chocolate mousse, mounding in the center to create a dome shape. Place in the refrigerator for 5 minutes as you prepare the whipped cream topping.
Make the whipped cream topping:
-
Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the 1 cup of heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla on high speed until slightly stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes.
-
Remove pie from the refrigerator and spread whipped cream on top—once again keeping that dome shape in the center.
-
Top with chocolate shavings, if using. Refrigerate pie uncovered for at least 4-5 hours or overnight. Slice and serve. Usually the 1st slice isn’t as beautiful as the 2nd! It’s easier to cut after you have 1 slice out.
