Featuring a buttery graham cracker crust and a rich, airy chocolate mousse filling, this recipe is a no-bake dream come true, perfect for entertaining or satisfying a sweet tooth. Made with simple ingredients like semi-sweet chocolate chips, heavy cream, and vanilla extract, the mousse achieves its silky-smooth texture without the need for eggs or baking. The pie sets beautifully in the refrigerator and can be topped with fresh whipped cream and chocolate shavings for an impressive presentation. With minimal prep time and zero oven required, this chilled chocolate dessert is ideal for warm weather gatherings or anytime you crave a fuss-free treat.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust. Use the back of a measuring cup to press it firmly in place. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until completely smooth. Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whip 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream using a hand or stand mixer until soft peaks form. Add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar, then whip until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream in batches, making sure to mix just until combined to maintain a light and airy texture. This creates the chocolate mousse filling.
Remove the prepared crust from the refrigerator and spoon the chocolate mousse filling into the crust. Smooth the surface with a spatula.
Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
Before serving, whip the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy cream to soft peaks and use it to decorate the top of the pie. Add optional chocolate shavings for garnish.
Slice and serve chilled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
