1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Brownie Base:

1/2 cup unsalted butter

3 oz bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped

2 tbsp vegetable oil

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

For the Chocolate Mousse:

4 oz milk chocolate chips

1 cup heavy cream

1 tbsp cocoa powder

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 pinch salt

For the Chocolate Whipped Cream:

1 cup heavy cream

2 tbsp powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Oreo Crumble Topping:

6 Oreo cookies, crushed

1 tbsp powdered sugar

1 tbsp cocoa powder

1 tbsp melted butter

Instructions

  1. Make the Crust:

    • Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).

    • Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs, and mix with the melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish.

    • Bake for 12-15 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

  2. Make the Brownie Base:

    • Melt the butter, chopped chocolate, vegetable oil, and cocoa powder in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir until smooth.

    • Whisk in the brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt.

    • Stir in the flour until the batter is thick and smooth.

    • Pour the brownie batter into the prepared Oreo crust and bake for 25-30 minutes. The brownie layer should be set but slightly fudgy in the center.

    • Allow the pie to cool completely.

  3. Make the Mousse Layer:

    • Melt the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth.

    • Beat the heavy cream, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and salt in a separate bowl until soft peaks form.

    • Gently fold in 1/3 of the whipped cream with the melted chocolate, then fold in the rest of the whipped cream.

    • Spread the mousse layer over the cooled brownie base and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.

  4. Make the Whipped Cream Topping:

    • Beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.

    • Spread the whipped cream on top of the mousse layer.

  5. Make the Oreo Crumble Topping:

    • Crush the Oreo cookies and toss with powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and melted butter.

    • Spread the crumble over the whipped cream topping.

  6. Serve:

    • Chill the pie until ready to serve, and enjoy!
