My mother made this silky pie when I was a child. It was my father's favorite. The fluffy chocolate-almond filling is held in a thin chocolate shell. Be warned, it is so rich that you should only take a sliver.-Jamie Burkhart, Windsor, Missouri

CHOCOLATE AMARETTO MOUSSE PIE
My mom had this recipe for a long time and never got around to making it. Very smooth, creamy dessert - works any time of the year. Of course, if you don't want to make it as a pie, just make the mousse filling and chill in wine glasses. The prep time does not include the chilling time for the pie to set.

Steps:
- Beat the egg whites until peaks form.
- Beat in 1/4 cup sugar until the mixture is stiff and glossy.
- Mix yolks, milk, gelatin, the remaining sugar, and salt.
- Combine over low heat with the chopped chocolate.
- Heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture has combined, smoothed, and thickened.
- Remove from heat and add vanilla and amaretto.
- Whip the cream.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the egg whites, folding to combine.
- Cool mixture; when cooled, fold in the whipped cream.
- Pour into the crust and refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is ideal.
- Make sure the cream is very cold before whipping it. This will help it to whip up quickly and smoothly.
- Don't overbeat the cream. Overbeaten cream will become grainy and lose its smooth texture.
- Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture gently. Overmixing will deflate the mousse.
- Chill the mousse for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow it to set properly.
- Serve the mousse with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream.
