Equipment

Stand mixer

Ingredients

1-3.9 oz. box instant chocolate pudding
1 cup milk divided
1 ½ cups heavy cream
1 chocolate sandwich cookie crust homemade or store bought
1-2 cups whipped cream
Caramel and chocolate sauce for garnish

Instructions

Add pudding mix to the stand mixer. Add 1/4 cup of milk to the pudding mixture and mix on medium until thick and smooth. Once smooth, add the remaining milk and mix until incorporated.
Add heavy cream to the pudding mix in two intervals and mix on high speed until smooth and fluffy but still pourable, about 1-2 minutes.
Pour the prepared chocolate filling into pie crust and spread with spatula until even. Top with whipped cream and garnish with caramel and chocolate sauce then refrigerate for 60 to 90 minutes then serve.

Notes

Mind Your Whipping: When you're whipping up that heavy cream, keep an eye out not to overdo it. You're aiming for a smooth, creamy texture, not butter! Stop when it's still a bit soft and fluffy.

Give It Time to Set: Patience, y'all. You have to let this chocolate mousse pie set in the fridge for some time before serving, so it's best if you start to make it at least an hour before you plan to enjoy it. This ensures everything firms up just right, making for neater slices and a perfectly set mousse.

Even Crust: When pressing your cookie crust into the pie dish, aim for an even thickness all around. A uniform crust means each slice is just as good as the last!

Chill Your Mixing Bowl and Whisk: Before whipping up the heavy cream, give your mixing bowl and whisk a lil' chill time in the fridge. It can help the cream whip up quicker and stay fluffy.
