Chocolate Mousse Pie
Itīs not just a chocolate mousse. It's not just a chocolate pie. It's a chocolate mousse pie. This recipes makes a creamy, rich dessert that's very hard to resist.
Ingredients:
-----crust-----
1 1/4 c Chocolate wafer crumbs
1/2 c Melted butter; or margarine
-----mousse-----
8 oz Semisweet chocolate; finely ground
1 oz Unsweetened chocolate; finely ground
4 oz Heavy whipping cream
6 tb Unsalted butter
2 Eggs; separated
Bailey's irish cream; optional
Directions:
-----crust-----
Add butter to crumbs just until it will hold its shape when pressed into a pan.
-----mousse-----
Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks forms. Set aside. Heat the cream and medium heat. When the butter is well-incorporated into the cream, add the chocolates. Stir off the heat until melted and well-blended. Add the egg yolks.
Quickly fold 1/4 of the chocolate mixture into the beaten whites, then fold the whites into the chocolate.
Fill the crust with the filling and refrigerate several hours. If you like may add Bailey's Irish Cream to the filling to flavour and whip cream with a tiny bit of sugar and some Frangelico liqueur. Amaretto for the whipping cream is also nice. It's just a decadent final touch to an already-decadent dessert.
