Instructions

Prepare Chocolate Mixture: In a large saucepan over low heat, combine diced butter, whole milk, semi-sweet and bittersweet chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and let cool at room temperature for 1 hour.
Whip Heavy Cream: Pour 1 3/4 cups heavy whipping cream into a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, whip until stiff peaks form, taking care not to overwhip to maintain desired texture.
Fold Cream into Chocolate: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture using a spatula until the mixture is light, fluffy, and uniform in color, being careful not to overmix to keep the mousse airy.
Assemble Pie: Pour the chocolate mousse into the prepared Oreo pie crust and spread evenly with a spatula to cover the crust uniformly.
Chill to Set: Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours to allow the mousse to firm up properly.
Prepare Whipped Cream Topping: In a clean bowl, combine 1 cup heavy cream and granulated sugar. Whip until stiff peaks form to create a smooth, stable whipped cream.
Finish and Garnish: Spread the sweetened whipped cream evenly over the chilled mousse pie. Garnish generously with chocolate shavings. Keep chilled until ready to serve. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

Be careful to avoid overwhipping the cream to maintain a light, airy mousse texture.
Allowing the chocolate mixture to cool thoroughly before folding in whipped cream prevents deflation.
Chilling time is essential to set the mousse properly; do not rush this step.
Oreo pie crust adds a complementary chocolate flavor and crunchy texture to the smooth mousse.
Chocolate shavings can be substituted with cocoa powder or chocolate curls for garnish variation.
