Ingredients

  • 1 (9-inch) store-bought cookie crust graham or chocolate
  • 10 ounces chocolate melted
  • 10 ounces whipped topping plus more for garnish

Instructions

  • Begin by melting the chocolate in either a double boiler on the stovetop or in the microwave according to package instructions. If you melt it in the microwave, typically melt for 45 seconds and then at 10 second intervals, stirring between until creamy and smooth. Let cool until room temperature, about 10 minutes or so.
  • Once the chocolate is cooled, with a rubber spatula, mix the chocolate with the thawed whipped topping until incorporated. Stir until there are no white streaks from the whipped cream visible. Transfer into the cookie crust and smooth with the spatula.
  • Top the pie with the more whipped topping if desired and smooth with an offset spatula. Chill or freeze for 2 to 4 hours or until firm.
  • Before serving, using a vegetable peeler or with a knife, chop or curl pieces of chocolate to decorate the top.

Notes

  1. Chocolate Choices: Semi-sweet chocolate chips or bars are classic, but you can also use bittersweet chocolate for a richer flavor or milk chocolate for a sweeter pie. Just avoid unsweetened baking chocolate.
  2. Crust Options: An Oreo crust gives the pie a fudgy finish, while a graham cracker crust makes it a little lighter. You can also make your own cookie crust using chocolate wafers or digestive biscuits.
  3. Cool Whip vs. Whipped Cream: Store-bought whipped topping helps the pie hold its shape and last longer in the fridge. Homemade whipped cream works too—just serve the pie the same day, as it will soften more quickly.
  4. Mini Pies or Ramekins: Spoon the filling into mini tart shells, ramekins, or even jars for a fun twist on individual mousse pies.
  5. Garnish Ideas: Dress it up with chocolate curls, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, whipped cream, crushed cookies, or fresh berries.
