Tips:
- For a richer mousse, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- To make the mousse even more flavorful, add a teaspoon of almond extract or a tablespoon of kirsch (cherry brandy) to the whipped cream.
- If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular pie plate. Just be sure to trim the edges of the pastry dough so that it doesn't hang over the sides of the pan.
- To prevent the pie crust from getting soggy, pre-bake it for 10-12 minutes before filling it with the mousse.
- If you're short on time, you can use a store-bought pie crust instead of making your own.
- Top the mousse pie with fresh cherries for a beautiful and delicious garnish.
