Pecan Crusted Chocolate Mousse Pie - A image

This simple sweet pie recipe is perfect for Passover, or for those who want to avoid using flour. From Linda Larsen,Your Guide to Busy Cooks at about.com. I specifically saved this b/c it has a nut crust instead of flour. This is better for Low Carbers.

This pie is the perfect dessert for a special occasion. It's rich and decadent, but not too sweet. The chocolate mousse is smooth and creamy, and the pecan crust is the perfect complement.

This pie was a bit of a disappointment. The crust was too dry and the mousse was too runny. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This pie was a little too rich for my taste, but it was still very good. I think next time I'll use a semisweet chocolate instead of a milk chocolate.
