DEATH BY CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
I make this recipe for the holidays. It is the only pie that is gone at the end of the night. I use high-quality chocolate chips; they are easier to melt. You can use milk or semi sweet chips. You can use any ready made or cooked pie crust.

Tips:
- For a richer mousse, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- To make the mousse ahead of time, prepare it up to 2 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before piping it onto the pie crust.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a spoon to spread the mousse onto the pie crust.
- To make the chocolate shavings, use a vegetable peeler to shave chocolate from a block of semisweet chocolate.
- For a gluten-free pie crust, use a graham cracker crust or a store-bought gluten-free pie crust.
