    My mini chef is obsessed with chocolate, especially OREOs, so we had a blast making this pie. You could easily make our no bake chocolate mousse pie in less than an hour and have it ready for dessert time.

    Since we love OREOs, we went with an OREO crust, but you could easily make this chocolate mousse pie with graham cracker crust too. We put OREOs and then a strawberry on top, but you could easily use raspberries or even cherries. 🙂

    Instead of using eggs and having to cook we use jello, so in a way, it’s jello chocolate pudding pie, but we call it mousse since we make it with heavy cream and milk. It has the texture of mousse, not so much of pudding.

    Look at that messy table and mixer, boy did we have fun! 🙂

      It’s really watery. Does it get thicker in the refrigerator

        Oh no, it shouldn’t be watery, the only reason this would happen is if your cream isn’t good. We’ve had this happen ONE time and it was from an off-brand cream. It just wouldn’t whip no matter how hard we beat it, even on its own.

      It never formed peaks, stayed in pudding consistancy.

        Oh no, Dina! I’m so sorry this happened. Here are two things that should help. Ensure that you’re using heavy cream for whipping and also make sure your whipping cream whips before adding the other ingredients if it doesn’t whip the recipe won’t work.

      I had to make a dessert for my office party and this chocolate mousse pie was a hit! I used the chocolate pudding and also some cheesecake pudding. One of my coworkers just enjoyed it as a dip with fruit. I’m making it again for Christmas! Thank you!!

      this calls for “2 boxes of pudding mix” but can you specify the size!? went grocery shopping for the ingredients and there were multiple sizes of the chocolate pudding mix!

        This would be the smaller 3.4oz boxes. πŸ™‚

        Most stores I seen have regular size pudding package like Market Basket does.

        Ooh, I love Market Basket! I typically find this size at Target!

      Hi Courtney, Are you whipping the heavy cream separately and then folding in the pudding mixture? We made this as written (just adding all the ingredients together in a bowl and mixing with a balloon whip attachment)and the mixture NEVER thickened up beyond a very soft pudding consistency.

        The mixture should form stiff peaks like in the picture. Were you using heavy whipping cream and whole milk? It will thicken a bit more in the refrigerator but it should form peaks while mixing. The only other thing is sometimes you can get a bad batch of heavy cream that doesn’t actual whip up.
