Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Oreo cookies (crushed into crumbs)
- 75 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
- 300 ml Heavy cream (chilled)
- 2 tablespoons Instant coffee powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 3 units Egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons Water (for blooming gelatin)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 20 grams Chocolate shavings (for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the cookie mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Place the crust in the fridge to chill while preparing the mousse.
Dissolve the gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 2 tablespoons of water. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
In a saucepan over low heat, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and instant coffee powder until the sugar dissolves and the mixture slightly thickens. This should take about 3-4 minutes. Remove the pan from heat.
Microwave the bloomed gelatin for 10 seconds until it melts into a liquid. Stir the melted gelatin and vanilla extract into the coffee mixture.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream with a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the coffee mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula until fully combined and no streaks remain.
Pour the coffee mousse into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the mousse sets completely.
Before serving, garnish the pie with chocolate shavings and additional whipped cream if desired.
Slice and serve this indulgent Coffee Mousse Pie chilled!
