This is a rich and creamy Chocolate Oreo pie that combines an Oreo cookie crust with layers of chocolate mousse and cookies and cream. This no bake dessert looks spectacular and is perfect for a holiday dinner or special occasion.

Most of the Oreo pies I have seen are Oreo cream pies, with a rich cookies and cream filling, which is certainly tasty and would be an excellent dessert. But I wanted my pie to include some chocolate to make it even better, because more chocolate is always appropriate.
This chocolate Oreo pie is a no bake dessert, but even though it doesn’t require baking it is not really a simple dessert. It has multiple steps, and requires time for the pie to chill in between steps. So this is the kind of dessert you make for a special occasion, like Thanksgiving, Christmas or a birthday. But when you want a dessert that takes extra time and care the results are delicious! I made this for my daughter on her birthday because she is not a big fan of cake and no one missed the birthday cake at all.
How do you Make a Chocolate Oreo Pie?
For this chocolate Oreo pie the crust is made from crushed up Oreo cookies. I crushed the cookies in the food processor, mixed them with melted butter and pressed them into the pie pan for a quick and easy pie crust that goes along with the Oreo cookie theme of the dessert.

Then the pie has a layer of chocolate mousse filling. This filling is made by melting chocolate chips and mixing in an egg yolk, sugar and heavy cream. I spread it on top of the crust and then chill the pie for a while. This mousse filling is rich and creamy and adds a delicious chocolate taste to the Oreo cookie pie.
The final layer of the chocolate Oreo pie is the cookies and cream layer. For this topping I cut up Oreo cookies to mix into the filling. These are cut with a knife to make bite sized pieces about 1/4″ wide. They aren’t crushed as finely as the cookies that were used to make the pie crust.
These chopped up cookies are folded into a cream cheese and whipped topping mixture for a creamy layer that is spread over the entire pie. The key to making this topping is to make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before you combine it with the whipped topping. If you don’t do this it will be clumpy and not spread well over the pie.

Finally small mini Oreos are placed in a ring around the outside edge of the pie, to decorate it. These really elevate the look of the pie and make it look like something you could get at a fancy bakery!
Is it Safe to Use Uncooked Eggs in Mousse?
I’ve already said the pie is a no bake dessert which means the egg yolk used to make the mousse layer isn’t cooked. Chocolate mousse is a traditional French recipe that is made with uncooked eggs. So is this use of uncooked eggs safe? Well it depends. There is a slight risk of salmonella from uncooked eggs. Many people are willing to take this small risk on occasion and eat things that include uncooked eggs, like Eggs Benedict, raw cookie dough or chocolate mousse. But if you are pregnant, elderly or otherwise at high risk you probably shouldn’t eat undercooked eggs. You can also buy pasteurized eggs and then you eliminate even a slight risk.

Chocolate Mousse Oreo Pie
Ingredients
Crust
- 24 Oreo Cookies

- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Cream Topping
- 8 Oreo Cookies
- 2 cup whipped topping, thawed

Instructions
Crust
- Take 24 Oreo cookies and make them into crumbs in a food processor.

- Put the chocolate in a mixer bowl and add the egg yolk, sugar, cream and vanilla.

Recipe Tips
- I wasn’t able to find the mini Oreos at my local grocery store. However I had no problem finding them at my local convenience store, because they are most often sold as grab and go snacks.
- If you wanted to make this recipe more of a quick and easy dessert you could just use instant pudding to make the chocolate layer. Don’t get me wrong – it won’t taste as good, because the rich chocolate layer is the best part of this pie. But it will be quick to make and still look pretty!
Oh, yummy! I just might have to make this for my sister for her birthday. I think she’s love it! Thanks for sharing, I’m off to pin this recipe! 🙂
ohhh this looks like something sold at a cool cafe!!
Looks so good! I love the mini Oreos lining the pie!!
I love Oreos, I bet this is just incredible!!!
::backs slowly away from post so as not to gain 5 lbs contemplating making this::
This pie looks dangerous to my waistline but it sounds sound good!
I normally don’t like Oreos, but that’s the only way I have been able it in the past. That pie looks amazing!
Oh boy.. this looks dangerously delicious!
You had me at chocolate…..totally going to make this!
You had me at Chocolate, this looks divine.
This looks mmm, mmm good!
NICE! This beats a plain, old birthday cake any day! I hope that she had a wonderful birthday
My husband would absolutely love this. His favorite go-to cookie is always Oreo’s so I know this would be a huge hit in my house.
I like the way you finished it on the edges. That is one creamy and delicious looking pie!
Delish! I like that this is a simple and yet complex recipe. It is easy to make, but isn’t one of those 2-ingredient recipes that often lack a depth of flavor. I am definitely going to pin this for future use.
This looks super yummy. The mini Oreos are such a cute touch. I know I would pick those off to eat first, lol.
NOM. This looks so easy! I might have to pick up some Oreos at the grocery store this weekend. 🙂
Seriously that looks so indulgent and a perfect dessert for the Oreo lover for Valentine’s day!
I wish I was a decent baker, this looks so good and I know would be a big hit…
This is a very easy recipe to make. I bet you could do it!
This looks so good! I need to find an excuse to make this!
OMG, Oreos are one of those foods that may not have any redeeming nutritional value, but I must admit I love them. Possibly my favorite junk treat! This recipe looks amazing!
I love oreo’s but never had them in a cheesecake before. I like the decoration around the outside, very pretty. Visiting from Buttercream Bakehouse linky party. I co-host Sweet and Savoury Sundays and would love for you to link up tomorrow for this week’s party.

How much sugar?
This sounds heavenly! My hubby LOVES making pies, so I’ll definitely be sharing this with him!
There’s no cooking the raw egg yolk?
Thanks for sharing!
It looks like you forgot to add the sugar to the ingredients list!
In the directions for the mousse, it says to add sugar, but sugar isn’t listed in the ingredients. How much do you add? I added 1/8 of a cup, and it seemed sweet enough.
Sorry I didn’t see this until now! I used 1/4 c. sugar, and I updated the recipe. But 1/8 c. is probably plenty, because the chocolate chips are so sweet anyway.
Ah. This looks super yummy. I love making oreo cheesecake. I’ll have to give this chocolate moose a try. Anything oreo, count me in!
This recipe is AMAZING!!! I made this for Thanksgiving as an alternate for non-pumpkin pie fans. Everyone LOVED it!!! This will definitely be made many more times, especially if I need to take a dessert!! It’s simple to make also, which is a huge bonus!!
the mousse recipe was different to how i normally make mousse but thought i would give it a good! regret it. i don’t know what i did wrong.. maybe i mixed it too much? i am not too sure but my mousse was not a mousse texture and was too dense ):
Don’t know whether i should attempt again
or just make mousse the way i normally do…. disappointed as the cream topping was Good!!
