Ingredients

• 24 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos)
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 10 ounces Semisweet chocolate chips
• 3 cups Heavy cream
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 6 ounces Dark chocolate, finely chopped

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a food processor, pulse the chocolate sandwich cookies until they are fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and process until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 2

Press the cookie crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then remove and let cool completely.

Step 3

Make the chocolate mousse filling: Place the semisweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Gradually whisk in the melted chocolate mixture. Let the filling cool to room temperature.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the mousse.

Step 6

Pour the mousse filling into the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until set.

Step 7

Prepare the chocolate ganache topping: Place the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the remaining 1/2 cup of cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the dark chocolate and let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth.

Step 8

Let the ganache cool slightly, then pour over the set mousse layer, spreading evenly with a spatula. Return the pie to the refrigerator and chill for 1 hour, or until the ganache is firm.

Step 9

Slice and serve: Remove the pie from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve with whipped cream or fresh berries, if desired.
