Ingredients

• 24 Chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos)
• 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 4 Large eggs, separated
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream (for mousse)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for whipped cream topping)
• 1 cup Heavy cream (for whipped cream topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a food processor, pulse the chocolate sandwich cookies until finely ground. Add the melted butter and process until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the cookie mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, then let cool completely.

Step 4

Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar until pale and creamy. Gradually whisk the melted chocolate into the egg yolk mixture.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites to soft peaks using a hand or stand mixer. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.

Step 7

Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.

Step 8

In another bowl, whip 1.5 cups of heavy cream with the vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.

Step 9

Pour the chocolate mousse into the cooled cookie crust, spreading evenly. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.

Step 10

Before serving, whip 1 cup of heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the mousse layer.

Step 11

Garnish with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder, if desired. Slice and serve chilled.
