Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Do you love chocolate and mint? I’m a huge fan of any dessert that combines those two delicious flavors, so this Oreo Mint Mousse Chocolate Pie was right up my alley!
With a chocolate crumb crust, a minty chocolate mousse filling, fresh whipped cream and a Mint OREO garnish, this chocolate pie is sure to be a hit with chocolate and mint lovers everywhere!
This luscious chocolate pie will be well-received any time of year, but with the hint of green in the cookies, it’s especially appropriate for St. Patrick’s Day.
I made my chocolate crust with Nestle’s Famous Chocolate Wafers, but you could also use OREO cookies, or even buy a pre-made chocolate crust.
And you want to make sure to use mint extract, not peppermint extract. They’re slightly different–your going for the flavor of a Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookie, not a holiday candy cane.
One thing is for certain, this pie is impressive! When my boys saw it in the refrigerator, they exclaimed, “Wow! When do we get to eat that!” Not soon enough, as far as they were concerned.
The chocolate mousse filling for this pie is adapted from my favorite easy chocolate mousse recipe. It’s sets up and slices beautifully, and would work just as well without the mint extract.
If you ever need an amazing, no-bake chocolate pie filling, I highly recommend this one.
This pie disappeared quickly at my house. I hope you love it as much as my family and I did!

How long do you refrigerate before serving? The time is missing from the online link I have for this recipe.
