How to make the No-bake Chocolate mousse pie
Here are some quick visual instructions. Don't forget that full recipe instructions with exact ingredients can be found in the recipe card below!
Blend the cookies in a food processor until finely ground. Melt the butter and mix it into the crumbs until fully absorbed. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish, forming a firm base and edges. Chill for 30 minutes before filling.
Place the eggs and sugar in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, whisking continuously. Heat until the mixture reaches 131°F (55°C), then remove from heat. Meanwhile, melt the chopped chocolate in the microwave. Slowly mix the melted chocolate into the egg mixture until smooth, then let it cool slightly.
In a stand mixer, beat the softened butter at medium speed for about 5 minutes. Reduce the speed and mix in the chocolate mixture until fully combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture using a spatula. Pour over the prepared cookie crust and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
Place the cold heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a bowl.Beat with an electric whisk for about 3-4 minutes on medium speed until you have a nice thick cream.
Pour the sweetened whipped cream over the top of the entire pie and decorate with chocolate shavings or chocolate sprinkles. (see below how to make chocolate curls).
Chill a baking sheet in the freezer for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, melt the chopped chocolate in a double boiler.
Once fully melted, spread it thinly (about 1mm) on the back of the cold baking sheet using an angled spatula. Let it set for a minute.
When cooled, use a steel spatula to scrape the chocolate into curls. Store in a cool, dry place until ready to decorate your no-bake chocolate pie.
