A Heavenly Chocolate Pie
The filling is just made up of a few basic ingredients – chocolate chips, marshmallows, butter, milk, cream, vanilla. You know all the good things in life. You don’t need to chop chocolate, you don’t need to gently heat or whip any eggs as in many mousse recipes, and you don’t eve need to make a pie crust! I decided if we are going the Oreo crust route what’s the point in homemade right?

So you see, this is definitely the pie you want to try this year right. Along with my Pumpkin Pie and Crumb-Topped Apple Slab Pie of course :). People need options, and three slices of pie on Thanksgiving. If you’ve got people that love chocolate in your family they will go crazy over this pie. I know because I’m obsessed with chocolate and I was swooning over every single bite! It’s fluffy. It’s rich. It’s oh so chocolatey. It’s sweet. It’s creamy. To sum it up it’s basically pie perfection.

How to Make Chocolate Mousse Pie

Remove from heat, stir in vanilla pour into a large mixing bowl and let cool to room temperature. Whip 1 3/4 cups heavy cream until very stiff peaks form. Fold into cool chocolate mixture. Pour chocolate mixture into Oreo crust and spread into an even layer. Chill 3 hours. For the topping, whip remaining 1 cup cream with 2 Tbsp sugar in a mixing bowl until stiff peaks form.

And no one will ever need to know that it was the easiest pie out of all of the options available. Can’t beat that – irresistibly delicious pie that is oh so easy to make. And it’s pretty too with the tonal variation in all the layers and those dainty little curls. I mean it even makes a cheap aluminum disposable pie dish look special :).
