For Dana's shower I decided to try a new recipe I had seen inFamily Circle Magazine. I made it while I was babysitting Joshua and Luke... Joshua was a big help. Especially when it came to the taste testing :)
The dessert ended up being a big hit and I promised to post it on the blog. So here you go girls. Enjoy :)
White Chocolate Mousse Pie
Makes: 12 servings
Prep: 15 minutes Chill: 3 hours or overnight Cook: 5 minutes
Ingredients
Crust:
13 chocolate cream-filled sandwich cookies, ground (such as Oreo)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
17 oval vanilla-and-chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Pepperidge Farm Milano)
Filling:
1-1/4 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
1-1/4 cups heavy cream
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
12 ounces white chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish:
1 pint strawberries, hulled and halved
2 cups frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed
Directions
1. Crust: Set aside 1 tablespoon of ground chocolate cookies for garnish. Stir together remaining ground cookies and butter in a bowl until combined. Press the mixture evenly over the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Arrange oval cookies around the edge of pie plate, alternating with vanilla and chocolate facing out.
2. Filling: In a small glass measuring cup, sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup of the cream and let stand 5 minutes to soften.
3. Combine cream cheese, white chocolate and gelatin mixture in small saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat for 6 minutes, stirring constantly, until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour into large bowl; place over ice bath. Stir until thickened and cooled.
4. Whip remaining 1 cup heavy cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Fold a third of the whipped cream into the white chocolate mixture until well-combined. Gently fold in the remaining whipped cream until just blended.
5. Spoon mixture into prepared crust and refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight.
6. Garnish: Before serving mound whipped topping in center of pie. Sprinkle with berries and reserved cookie crumbs.

this was super yummy. everyone should try it.
So I was in the grocery store on Saturday and was thinking about this dessert and how much I wanted a slice at that exact moment, when I looked over and there in all its glory was a picture of it on the cover of a magazine. Needless to say, I bought it. And I love this.
