Make the Crust

Prepare the Brownie Layer

In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 1 cup dark brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Combine both mixtures and fold in 1/2 cup flour. Pour over the cooled crust and bake for 15 minutes.
Prepare the Crumb Topping
  1. Crush 6 Oreo cookies and mix with 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 3 tablespoons melted butter. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.
Make the Mousse
  1. Melt 4 ounces of milk chocolate. In a bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream with 2 tablespoons cocoa powder and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Fold in melted chocolate and spread over the cooled brownie layer.
Garnish and Chill
