Chocoholics get ready! We've got Ultimate Triple Layer Chocolate Brownie Mousse Cream Pie and it will definitely have you rocketed into a sinful chocolate nirvana in no time!
This triple layered pie is essentially a pre-made pie crust filled and baked with a rich, fudgy gooey brownie layer, topped with a creamy chocolate mousse layer, and then topped with a thick, fluffy mound of whipped cream on top of that! And of course, grated chocolate curls for some extra chocolate love, because as you know we never seem to have enough chocolate, do we?
One of my favorite pies growing up was always chocolate cream pie when we had reunions, get-togethers or Sundays!
Well, as you know, brownies are also one of my favorites, so putting them together in a luscious, tempting pie was the ultimate goal here, with a few minor change-ups. Not only is it tempting, it's also very pretty with all those delightful layers, when you cut into it and serve it to friends and family.
Other serving options?
Even though this is a brownie pie, on another note, there's always the option, you could also change out the brownie layer for a chocolate pudding layer, by just using instant chocolate pudding. Just wait for it to set up, then add the next layer of chocolate mousse and whipped cream.
OR....How about stopping with making the brownie pie, minus the other 2 layers and serving it with a scoop of ice cream and hot fudge? Totally yum! BTW...you can even use a brownie mix in place of the home-made brownies if you wish.
I bought a pre-made crust and used it so I wouldn't have to make my own to save a few steps. If you have a favorite pie crust you just can't do without, then go for it.
Thanksgiving is coming up, right? So, we are on the verge of pie season, with every kind of pie you can dream of.
Some of the holiday favorite pies include this Amish Peanut Butter Cream Pie, this Brown Sugar Pecan Cheesecake Pie, this Holiday White Chocolate Peppermint Cheesecake Mousse Pie, this Butterfinger Peanut Butter Fudge Dream Pie and this Amish Country Pumpkin Custard Pie!

Chocolate Mousse Layer
- Beat cream cheese until very smooth and creamy. Add in cocoa powder, powdered sugar and vanilla until mixed in. Fold in whipped cream and pour on top of cooled brownie pie. If you are making whipped cream, beat whipping cream until you get stiff peaks and fold in chocolate cream cheese mixture and pour on top of cooled brownie pie.
Whipped Topping Layer

Can you use a pre made pie crust for the triple layer chocolate mousse cream pie
Ann says
Oh My! This is what my dream looks like. The pictures are so enticing. It definitely is a “sinful chocolate nirvana”. The pie is so rich, fudgy, and… visually striking. Makes me wanna have it right now. Absolutely irresistible. Though I wonder if it would be as fantastic with brown sugar added. What do you think Kim?
Gonna give it a try (hope next weekend). Lucky me, I have all the ingredients at home. I’m thinking of inviting our neighbors in for a cup of tea or coffee. It would be great!
Thank you for this inspiration! I really appreciate it!

Yay! I agree, all together is like wow! Thank you so much Valentina! xo
Valentina says
My mom passed her Chocoholic gene to me. And I'm nothing but happy about it -- of all the addictions, I think Chocolate is a good one. 🙂 Seriously, this pie is so dreamy! Those layers! The brownie is my favorite, but the combination of all three is the bite I want! ~Valentina
