Ingredients
Method
Make Crust
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a food processor, crush 16 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs.
- Mix in 1 tablespoon of sugar and 4 tablespoons of melted butter until combined.
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for about 10 minutes or until set. Set aside to cool.
Make Brownie Layer
- In a heatproof bowl, combine 4 ounces of bittersweet chocolate and 3 tablespoons of butter. Melt over a double boiler or in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
- Mix in 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil, 1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder, and 2/3 cup of dark brown sugar.
- Once combined, whisk in 2 large eggs, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until smooth.
- Gently fold in 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, being careful not to overmix.
- Pour the brownie batter into the cooled crust and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let it cool.
Make The Topping
- In a mixing bowl, combine 6 crushed Oreo cookies, 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, and 1/8 teaspoon salt.
- Pour in 2 tablespoons of melted butter and mix until crumbly. Set aside for later use.
Make The Mousse
- In a small bowl, melt 6 ounces of milk chocolate. Allow it to cool slightly while you whip the cream.
- In another bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream until combined.
- Pour the mousse over the cooled brownie layer and smooth it out. Sprinkle the cookie crumb topping all over. Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Notes
Make sure your ingredients, especially the heavy cream, are very cold to achieve optimal volume in the whipped cream. Avoid rushing the cooling process; the layers set better when given ample time.
