Ingredients

• 20 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 8 oz Dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa), chopped
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 2 tbsp Granulated sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 0.5 tsp Peppermint extract
• 2 tbsp Powdered sugar
• 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tbsp Shaved chocolate or chocolate curls (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the crust: Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and mix with melted unsalted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 2

Firmly press the cookie mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Place in the refrigerator to chill and set, at least 15 minutes.

Step 3

Prepare the chocolate mousse: In a medium heatproof bowl, add chopped dark chocolate. Heat 1/2 cup of heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer (do not boil). Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let sit for 1-2 minutes. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Set aside to cool to room temperature.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment to whip the remaining 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream until soft peaks form.

Step 5

Add granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract to the whipped cream and continue whisking until stiff peaks form.

Step 6

Gently fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the whipped cream, being careful not to deflate the mousse. Mix until just combined and no streaks remain.

Step 7

Assemble the pie: Remove the chilled cookie crust from the refrigerator. Pour the chocolate mousse onto the crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top.

Step 8

Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

Step 9

Before serving, lightly dust the top of the pie with powdered sugar. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and shaved chocolate or chocolate curls, if desired.

Step 10

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy the refreshing and indulgent flavor of the Minty Mousse Pie Au Chocolat!
