Provided by Lesterfaye

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 ounces semisweet chocolate
2 cups whipping cream, divided
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, divided
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
1 teaspoon vanilla extract, divided
1 (9-inch) prepared graham cracker piecrust

Steps:

  • Place chocolate in small microwavable dish. Microwave on HIGH until melted, 11/2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute. Set chocolate aside. Combine 1 cup whipping cream and 1/2 cup sugar in medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until sugar is melted. Beat eggs in small bowl. Stir 1/4 cup cream mixture into eggs; stir back into hot cream mixture. Stir constantly until mixture is thickened, about 4 to 5 minutes. Pour cream mixture into large bowl. Beat in chocolate, coffee granules and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat for about 2 minutes. Pour filling into piecrust. Let cool for 15 minutes. Cover and refrigerate 3 hours or overnight. Beat remaining 1 cup cream in medium bowl 1 minute. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until mixture forms soft peaks. Top each slice of pie with the whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Utilize a Food Processor: Utilize a food processor to swiftly and effectively combine the ingredients for the crust, ensuring a smooth and even texture.
  • Chill the Crust: Prior to baking, chill the crust for at least 30 minutes. This will prevent the crust from shrinking excessively and result in a more stable base for the filling.
  • Use High-Quality Chocolate: Select high-quality semisweet chocolate for an intense and rich chocolate flavor. Alternatively, bittersweet chocolate can be used for a more sophisticated flavor profile.
  • Gently Fold the Whipped Cream: When incorporating the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture, execute this step gently to maintain the airiness and prevent the mousse from deflating.
  • Chill the Mousse: Once prepared, refrigerate the chocolate mousse for at least 4 hours, or overnight ideally. This will allow it to set properly and develop its full flavor.
  • Decorate with Fresh Berries: Garnish the mocha decadence with fresh berries such as raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries for a vibrant and refreshing touch.
