CHOCOLATE ANGEL PIE
I noticed there is a Lemon Angel Pie and a Coconut Angel Pie posted so here's the Chocolate Angel Pie. I thought it would be nice to have a choice of lemon, coconut or chocolate for those of you who make Angel Pies. This recipe is actually a combination between one of my church cookbook recipes and a recipe from Woman's Day...

Tips:
- For the perfect chocolate angel pie crust, use a combination of graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before filling.
- When making the chocolate mousse filling, be sure to use high-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate. This will give the pie a rich, decadent flavor. You can also add a tablespoon of instant coffee granules to the melted chocolate to enhance the flavor.
- To make the filling extra smooth and creamy, use a food processor or blender to combine the chocolate, cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- When pouring the filling into the pie crust, be careful not to overfill it. Leave about 1/2 inch of space at the top of the pie crust so that the filling doesn't overflow when it bakes.
- Bake the pie for 25-30 minutes, or until the center of the pie is set. Do not overbake, or the pie will become dry and crumbly.
- Once the pie is baked, let it cool completely before serving. This will help the pie to set and firm up.
Conclusion:
Chocolate angel pie is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its combination of chocolate mousse filling and chocolate angel pie crust, this pie is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
