Chocolate-Chip Mint Aero-Mousse Pie


Chocolate-Chip Mint Aero-Mousse Pie with an Oreo crust was my solution to a birthday celebration in the midst of extreme time-constraints.  This could not possibly be quicker/easier to make!!!

Two sleeves of oreo cookies
100g dark chocolate chips
6 Mint Aero Mousse individual cups
4-6 Tbsp butter

1. Preheat oven to 150C.

2. Crush oreos.

3. Melt butter.

4. Combine butter and oreos, press into the bottom of a pie or tart base.

5. Bake for 5-10 minutes.

6. DO NOT DO THIS STEP UNTIL DESSERT IS READY TO BE SERVED WITHIN A COUPLE HOURS
Mousse will collapse in on itself and become runny if prepared the day before.
Once cool, spoon the mousse over the crust and spread around, careful not to squash all the bubbles out.

7. Sprinkle with chocolate chips.
