Chocolate Mousse Fudge Pie

Chocolate Mousse Fudge Pie is rich, creamy, decadent, and insanely delicious. It’s made with a brownie-like fudge and topped with chocolate mousse, whipped topping, and shaved chocolate. This chocolate mousse pie recipe will quickly become a favorite.

Whenever I make this pie, I wonder why I ever make any other dessert. This recipe for chocolate mousse pie is simple to make with just a short list of ingredients. I love this twist on a fudge pie.

What’s great about this recipe too, is I will share a few shortcuts, which are great to use around the holiday season (like premade crusts!). But of course, you can always make your pie crust from scratch and make quick homemade whipped topping if you’d like. In this season of life, I am all about ease, so those shortcuts are time and sanity savers.

I’m thrilled to be cooking and baking all my holiday favorites, including my most popular holiday treat, German Chocolate Cake Cookies, in my newly furnished Beko kitchen.

How to make Chocolate Mousse Pie

Roll out the pre-made pie crust into a pie pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Melt the butter and chocolate together. Add sugar, eggs, and vanilla, and stir until well combined. Pour filling into the pie crust and bake in the unbaked pie crust shell for 35 minutes.

Remove the pie from the oven and let it sit on a cooling rack until cool. Chill in the fridge for 30-60 minutes. You may also make the pie in advance and leave in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 days. Then, make the topping and serve.

While the fudge pie is chilling, make the chocolate mousse by whisking together 1 1/2 cups of milk and 1 box of chocolate instant pudding.  Beat for 2-3 minutes, then add 8 ounces of Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream.

Add the Cool Whip or homemade whipped topping to the top of the pie in large dollops. Top with shaved chocolate and serve immediately, or let it chill in the fridge 30-60 minutes.

One of the things that I love about this chocolate pie recipe is that it’s made with ease using chocolate pudding. I grew up with this shortcut, and I love that I have it in my recipe box because it is easy to go to a recipe that you can make in 5 minutes or less.
