Method
 

Build Chocolate Cherry Mousse Bars Step by Step
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Crust - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine crushed Oreo cookies with melted butter and press into the bottom of the baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
  2. Step 2: Make the Chocolate Mousse - Melt 1 ½ cups of chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. In another bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until creamy, then mix in the melted chocolate.
  3. Step 3: Whip the Cream - Whip the cream until stiff peaks form, then fold it into the chocolate mixture carefully.
  4. Step 4: Assemble the Bars - Pour the mousse over the cooled crust and spread the cherry pie filling on top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  5. Step 5: Slice and Serve - Once set, slice into squares and serve.
