Cappuccino Mousse Pie image

This is very r-i-c-h due to the amount of whipping cream, but well worth the splurge. The recipe came from my mom's collection of clippings, from a magazine. For a change, I have made this without the crust - just layering the filling(s) in clear glasses ( I actually used those mini plastic wine glasses for a large crowd. I also have been known to add 2 tablespoons of coffee liquer to the whipping cream mixture before beating. Feel free to garnish with whipped cream & chocolate curls (and fresh raspberries if you have any). NOTE: Cooking time=chilling time.

Time 40m

Yield 1 pie, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 cups heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons instant coffee granules
2 tablespoons granulated sugar (I have used icing sugar)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 -6 ounce graham cracker pie crust (or chocolate flavour)

Steps:

  • Melt chocolate chips - either in the microwave, 1-1 1/2 minutes, or stovetop in a small double boiler. Mix whipping cream, coffee granules, sugar and vanilla (and coffee liquer if you are using) in a large bowl until the coffee granules dissolve. Beat with electric mixer on high until stiff peaks form when beaters are lifted.
  • Remove & reserve 1 1/2 cups of the coffee whipped cream.
  • Gently fold the melted chocolate into the remaining whipped cream until well blended. Spread this evenly in the crust.
  • Spread and swirl the coffee whipped cream over the mousse. Chill until set. This will take at least 1 hour in the refrigerator, or 30 minutes in the freezer.
  • Garnish & serve.

This pie is amazing! I love the coffee flavor in the mousse and the chocolate cookie crust is the perfect touch. I will definitely be making this again and again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie didn't turn out as well as I expected. The mousse was grainy and the crust was soggy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This pie was a bit too rich for me. I think I would prefer a lighter dessert next time.

I had some trouble getting the mousse to set properly. I think I might have overbeaten it. But the flavor was still good.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.

I love cappuccino and chocolate, so I knew I had to try this pie. It did not disappoint! The mousse was rich and flavorful, and the crust was the perfect complement. I will definitely be making this pie again.

This cappuccino mousse pie was a delight to make and even better to eat! The combination of coffee and chocolate was perfect, and the mousse was light and fluffy. I will definitely be making this again.
