Chocolate-Amaretto Mousse Pie image

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

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The mousse was rich and creamy, and the chocolate and amaretto flavors were nice.

This pie was a disaster! The mousse was curdled, and the crust was burnt. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I won't be making this recipe again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The mousse was a little too dense, and the crust was a bit soggy.

This pie was a little more challenging to make than I expected, but it was worth the effort. The mousse was a bit tricky to get just right, but the end result was amazing.

I've made this pie several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The mousse is so rich and decadent, and the crust is the perfect balance of flaky and crumbly.
