It is a classic choice for special occasions and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. This article provides three different recipes for chocolate mousse pie, each with its own unique flavor profile and texture.
The first recipe is for a classic chocolate mousse pie, made with a traditional chocolate mousse filling and a graham cracker crust. The mousse is light and fluffy, with a deep chocolate flavor, while the crust provides a sturdy and flavorful base.

Steps:
- In a food processor or blender, pulse the whole Oreos into fine crumbs. (Alternatively, put the cookies into a freezer bag and crush them using a rolling pin).
- Transfer ground crumbs to a medium bowl, add melted vegan butter and stir until crumbs are evenly moistened.
- Press the mixture onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9 or 9,5-inch (23/24cm) tart pan with removable bottom (or pie pan). Place in the fridge or freezer for 15 minutes to firm up (or bake it for a crispier result *see notes).
- Place chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Heat 1/2 cup of the non-dairy cream in a small saucepan until it begins to boil. Then immediately pour it over the chocolate and stir until smooth. Let come to room temperature.
- In a mixing bowl, beat remaining chilled non-dairy cream with an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Then gently fold in the chocolate mixture. Stir just until combined. Spoon into the prepared tart shell, smoothing out evenly. Refrigerate for 4 hours or until set.
- Repeat step 1 of the chocolate mousse: Place chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Heat the non-dairy cream in a small saucepan until it begins to boil. Then immediately pour over the chocolate and stir until smooth. Allow to cool to room temperature, then spread on top of the chocolate mousse. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes or until the ganache has set.
- Decorate your tart with fresh fruit, shredded coconut or other toppings you like. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Steps:
- Melt chocolate in the top of a double boiler.
- Then, beat at high speed until smooth: the melted chocolate, margarine, eggs, and sugar.
- (at this point i place the mixture back on the double boiler and heat it because of the raw eggs, but i've heard that there is only a possibility of Salmonella with CRACKED eggs, otherwise there is no danger at all).
- In clean and dry mixer, whip non dairy whipping cream until soft peaks form according to package directions (it took me a quarter of the time that it said it would on the box).
- Put some of that whipped topping aside for the top of the pie.
- Gently combine the chocolate mixture with the whipped dessert and scoop into pie crust.
- Freeze for a bit (45 minutes?) to set the chocolate layer.
- Spread rest of whipped topping on top.
- For a softer consistency, like pudding, keep in fridge, or take out with time to defrost it before serving. for a richer denser consistency, keep in freezer till a few minutes before serving.
- YUM!
