Oreo crust

• Start by blending the cookies in a food processor until you have fine crumbs with no chunks.
• Melt the butter in the microwave or in a saucepan.
• Add melted butter into the oreo crumbs and mix until that the crumbs soak up the butter.
• Pour the crumb mixture into your 9 inch pie dish and using either the bottom of a glass or a measuring spoon, press the crumb mixture down until you have a layer of about 3-4 mm, while also going up the edges.
• Place the pie dish in the refrigerator for about 30 min while you prepare the other preparations.

Chocolate mousse filling

• Place eggs and sugar in a bowl and heat in a double boiler over a saucepan containing a little water while stirring with a whisk.
• Check the temperature with a cooking thermometer which should read at least 131°F / 55°C.
• Meanwhile, melt the chopped chocolate in the microwave.
• Remove from heat and gradually add the melted chocolate to the egg mixture while mixing with a whisk until you have a smooth chocolate mixture and let cool slightly.
• Place the softened butter in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and mix at medium speed for about 5 minutes.
• Lower the speed of the mixer and stir in the chocolate mixture.
• Meanwhile, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
• Finish by folding the whipped cream into the mixture with a spatula.
• Pour the chocolate mixture over the cookie crust and chill for at least 4 hours.

Whipped cream

• 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).

How to make chocolate curl

• Place a baking sheet in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the chopped chocolate in a medium bowl and heat it in a double boiler with a little water.
• When the chocolate is completely melted, pour it onto the back of the baking sheet.
• Immediately with an angled spatula spread the chocolate to a thin 1mm thickness and let it cool for a good minute.
• When the chocolate is completely cooled, use a steel spatula to scrape off the chocolate in a semicircle to obtain small chocolate curls.
• Keep them in a fresh place away from humidity until it is time to decorate your no bake chocolate pie.

Storage and freezing

Refrigeration: Store your chocolate mousse pie exclusively in the refrigerator. Keep it covered with plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container. Consume it within 3-4 days for the best quality.

Freezing: If you wish to freeze your chocolate pie, do so without the whipped cream topping. It can be frozen for approximately 3 months.

Thawing: When you're ready to enjoy your frozen chocolate mousse pie, place it in the refrigerator and allow it to gently thaw for 1 to 2 hours. This gradual thawing process will ensure the pie retains its delightful texture and flavor.
