Easy Chocolate Mousse Pie
First things first, you wanna set the mood for this delightful dish. So gather your ingredients, roll up your sleeves, and let’s make some magic in the kitchen!
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups crushed chocolate cookies (like Oreos)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 large egg whites
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a pie dish and mix the crushed chocolate cookies with the melted butter in a bowl until it resembles wet sand.
- Press that mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the pie dish. Bake for about 10 minutes, then let it cool completely.
- While the crust is cooling, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring after each increment until smooth. Let that cool down.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until you reach stiff peaks. You’ll want it light and fluffy, just like your dreams!
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until you get stiff peaks. Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream, then gently fold in the egg whites. Make sure it’s all incorporated, but don’t deflate it!
- Pour that luscious mousse filling into the cooled crust and smooth it out. Chill in the refrigerator for at least four hours, or overnight if you can manage it (but we know it’s tough to wait!).
- Once it’s set, slice it up, serve it chilled, and watch your folks go wild for this chocolatey dream!
Now you’ve got yourself a show-stopping dessert that’s gonna have everyone asking for seconds. Remember to keep it chill and enjoy every bite. Happy baking!
