HEAVENLY CHOCOLATE MOUSSE PIE



Heavenly Chocolate Mousse Pie image

Lisa's right, this sure is a heavenly chocolate mousse pie. It's very decadent. Smooth and creamy, we loved the easy to make mousse with the crunchy Oreo crust. Full of chocolate goodness, no one will believe how simple this pie is to prepare.

Categories     Chocolate

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

OREO COOKIE CRUST
1 pkg Oreo's (cheap chocolate cookies work just as well)
1/2 stick melted butter, enough to hold crumbs together
CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
12 oz semi-sweet chocolate
1 tsp vanilla
1 c heavy cream
WHIPPED CREAM TOPPING
2 c heavy cream
1/2 c sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
GARNISH
shaved chocolate (Hershey bars taste the best)
additional whipped cream

Steps:

  • 1. Crush cookies (about 1/2 package for an 8-inch crust). Do more if you think it is not enough. Melt 1/2 stick of butter to hold the crust together. Add more butter if needed. For a pie shape you can use a pie tin, I use a spring form pan. Also is lovely with no crust and using champagne glasses or whatever fun shaped large or individual serving bowls/glasses you have.
  • 2. Melt cream, chocolate, and vanilla slowly in a double boiler. You can use a heat-proof bowl over a regular pot on the stove as well. Cool to room temperature.
  • 3. Beat two cups heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla, to stiff peaks.
  • 4. Fold whipped cream into the chocolate mixture.
  • 5. Pour into the prepared crust (can also make this in individual serving bowls). Chill 6 hours until set. I make this a day ahead.
  • 6. Top with additional whipped cream. I like to do a full layer of the whipped cream on the entire top of the pie and then garnish it with shaved chocolate. You can top with whipped cream on each individual piece and Oreo's as well.

HEAVENLY CHOCOLATE MOUSSE [366]



HEAVENLY CHOCOLATE MOUSSE [366] image

Yield 6 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup water, divided
2 tablespoons butter (no substitutes)
3 egg yolks
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/4 cups whipping cream, whipped

Steps:

  • In a microwave or double boiler, heat chocolate, 1/4 cup water and butter until the chocolate and butter are melted. Cool for 10 minutes. In a small heavy saucepan, whisk egg yolks, sugar and remaining water. Cook and stir over low heat until mixture reaches 160 degrees F, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat; whisk in chocolate mixture. Set saucepan in ice and stir until cooled, about 5-10 minutes. Fold in whipped cream. Spoon into dessert dishes. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the mousse will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Make sure the chocolate is finely chopped. This will help it melt smoothly and evenly.
  • Don't overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will make the mousse tough. Beat them just until they reach stiff peaks.
  • Fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture gently. Overmixing will deflate the egg whites and make the mousse less fluffy.
  • Chill the mousse for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow it to set properly.
  • Garnish the mousse with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries before serving.

Conclusion:

Chocolate mousse is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is rich, creamy, and decadent, and it is sure to impress your guests. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious chocolate mousse that will be the star of your next party or gathering. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
