Ingredients:

For the Crust:

• 1 package (14 oz) Oreos, keep 2 aside for garnishing
• 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted

For the Mousse Filling:

• Two 4-ounce (113 grams each) dark chocolate bars, your choice
• 1 cup (236 ml) cold heavy whipping cream
• 3 tablespoons (15 grams) cocoa powder
• 8 ounces (226 grams) full-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
• 2 tablespoons (24 grams) granulated sugar
• 1 jar (7 oz) Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Crème

For the Whipped Cream Topping:

• 1 cup (236 ml) heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 cup (65 grams) powdered sugar
• Optional: Hot fudge sauce for drizzling
• Optional: 2 crushed Oreos for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust:
   • Begin by crushing the Oreos in a food processor or blender until fine crumbs form. Set aside 2 Oreos for garnishing later.
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs with the melted butter. Mix until well combined and the mixture resembles wet sand.
2. Press into Pie Pan:
   • Press the Oreo mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to pack it down firmly. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
3. Make the Chocolate Mousse Filling:
   • In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate bars in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
   • In a separate large mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
4. Combine Cream Cheese and Sugar:
   • In another bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
5. Mix in Chocolate and Marshmallow Crème:
   • Gradually add the melted chocolate and cocoa powder to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until smooth and well combined.
   • Gently fold in the Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Crème until fully incorporated.
6. Fold in Whipped Cream:
   • Carefully fold the whipped cream into the chocolate marshmallow mixture until well combined and no streaks remain. This will create a light and fluffy chocolate mousse filling.
7. Assemble the Pie:
   • Pour the chocolate marshmallow mousse filling into the prepared Oreo crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
8. Chill the Pie:
   • Cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is set and firm to the touch.
9. Prepare Whipped Cream Topping:
   • In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. This will create a light and airy whipped cream topping for the pie.
10. Decorate the Pie:
    • Once the pie has chilled and set, spread or pipe the whipped cream topping over the surface.
    • Optional: Drizzle with hot fudge sauce for added indulgence and sprinkle with crushed Oreos for a decorative finish.
11. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Slice the No-Bake Chocolate Marshmallow Pie into generous portions and serve chilled. Refrigerate any leftovers for up to 3 days.

Cook’s Notes:

• Choosing Chocolate: Use your favorite dark chocolate bars for the mousse filling, ensuring a rich and decadent flavor profile.

Variations:

• Nutty Crunch: Add chopped toasted nuts such as pecans or almonds to the Oreo crust for a delightful crunch.
