1. Make crumble: Preheat oven to 350°. In a food processor, pulse graham crackers into fine crumbs.

2. In a medium bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, oats, brown sugar, and flour. Add butter, using your hands to cut until the mixture starts to hold together and is pea-size in consistency. Spread into an even layer on a baking sheet.

3. Bake until golden and crisp, about 20 minutes, stirring halfway through. Let cool.

4. Make the mousse: In a large bowl using a hand mixer, or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat heavy cream and powdered sugar into stiff peaks. Reserve about 1 cup of whipped cream for topping.
