Decadent Chocolate Mousse Pie – Silky, No-Bake Dessert

Print Recipe

This Chocolate Mousse Pie is rich, velvety, and incredibly simple to make. With a crisp cookie crust and a cloud-like mousse filling, it’s the kind of dessert that feels fancy but takes surprisingly little effort. No baking required—just deep chocolate flavor, whipped cream lightness, and a melt-in-your-mouth experience.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs (like Oreo, without filling)

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

For the Mousse Filling:

8 oz semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 large eggs, separated

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream

Optional Toppings:

Whipped cream

Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder

Fresh raspberries or strawberries

Instructions

Make the Crust: Combine cookie crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill for 20 minutes.

Melt the Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, melt chocolate and butter over a double boiler or in the microwave. Stir in vanilla and salt. Let cool slightly.

Egg Yolks: Whisk egg yolks with 2 tbsp sugar until thick. Slowly stir into cooled chocolate mixture.

Whip Egg Whites: In a clean bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add remaining sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.

Whip Cream: In another bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form.

Assemble: Fold whipped cream into the chocolate mix, then gently fold in the egg whites.

Fill & Chill: Pour mousse into crust and smooth the top. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Top with whipped cream and garnish just before serving.
