Provided by Liz Berg

Categories     Chocolate

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 ounces chocolate cookie wafers (about 25 wafers), such as Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers
4 tablespoons butter (1/2 stick), melted and slightly cooled
5 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 cup heavy cream
3 large egg whites, at room temperature (I recommend Davidson's Safest Choice Eggs)
3/4 teaspoon powdered gelatin (I use Knox)
1 tablespoon water
6 ounces white chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Chocolate curls, optional

Steps:

  • Grease an 8-inch springform pan and set it aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350º.
  • Place the cookies in a food processor and pulse till crumbs are formed. Add the melted butter and pulse to combine. Scrape the bowl and pulse again till butter is evenly dispersed.
  • Press the crumbs into the bottom of the spring-form pan. Bake 10 to 15 minutes. Remove to a wire rack and cool to room temperature.
  • Make chocolate mousse by placing the semisweet chocolate and ¼ cup of the cream into a heatproof bowl. Microwave gently, stopping and stirring at 30-second increments until smooth and melted.
  • Set aside to cool (should not be hot when you add the whipped cream).
  • Place the egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Mix on high until stiff peaks form, about 1 minute. Transfer whipped whites to another bowl.
  • Place the remaining ¾ cup of cream in the bowl and whisk on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 1 minute.
  • Using a rubber spatula, fold half of the whipped cream into the melted chocolate, then gently stir in the rest. Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture.
  • Scrape the mousse onto the cooled crust and smooth top with an offset spatula. Refrigerate uncovered for at least an hour before making the white chocolate mousse.
  • To make the white chocolate mousse, sprinkle the gelatin over the water in a small bowl and let stand at least 5 minutes to soften.
  • Place the white chocolate and ½ cup of the cream in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave gently, stopping to stir at 30-second increments, till melted and smooth.
  • Add the gelatin mixture and stir until dissolved. Cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
  • Whip the remaining 1 cup of cream until soft peaks form. Using a whisk, mix one-third of the whipped cream into the white chocolate mixture to lighten it. Fold in the remaining whipped cream gently with a rubber spatula.
  • Spoon the white chocolate mousse into the pan over the chocolate mousse. Smooth the top with an offset spatula.
  • Return the cake to the refrigerator and chill until set, at least 2 hours.
  • Garnish top with chocolate curls or chocolate shavings, if desired.

MILE-HIGH TRIPLE-CHOCOLATE-ESPRESSO MOUSSE PIE



Mile-High Triple-Chocolate-Espresso Mousse Pie image

This pie is all about the slow reveal: It appears to be a simple chocolate mousse with a cookie crust. Cut into it, though, and guests will gasp at this triple layered (and flavored!) dessert. Since it's the perfect choice for a special occasion like Thanksgiving or Christmas, we made this icebox creation as make-ahead friendly as possible. Fill and chill up to two days ahead, then dust with cocoa powder before serving.

Time 9h

Yield Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 stick unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pan
9 ounces chocolate wafer cookies, such as Famous brand
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped (1 1/4 cups)
8 ounces milk chocolate, chopped (1 1/4 cups)
6 large egg whites, plus 2 yolks, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla paste or extract
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting

Steps:

  • Crust: Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush the bottom and sides of a 9-inch-round, 3-inch-deep springform pan with butter. Pulse cookies and granulated sugar in a food processor until finely ground. Add butter and salt, pulsing until texture resembles that of wet sand. Press mixture evenly into bottom and halfway up sides of prepared pan. Bake until crust is set and dry to the touch, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack; let cool completely. (Crust can be loosely wrapped and stored at room temperature up to 1 day.)
  • Mousses: Melt both chocolates in separate heatproof bowls set over (but not in) a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally, until only pea-size lumps remain. Remove from heat; stir until chocolate is completely melted. Let cool to warm room temperature. Stir 1 egg yolk and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla into each bowl just to combine.
  • In a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites on low speed until foamy. Add cream of tartar; increase speed to medium-high and beat to soft peaks. With motor running, gradually add granulated sugar and beat to stiff, glossy peaks.
  • Stir 1 cup meringue into each bowl with chocolate mixture. Divide remaining meringue evenly between mixtures, gently folding in until no streaks remain. Whisk cream with confectioners' sugar to soft peaks. Divide evenly between chocolate mixtures, gently folding in until no streaks remain.
  • Pour bittersweet-chocolate mousse into crust, smoothing top with an offset spatula. Gently pour milk-chocolate mousse over bittersweet mousse, smoothing top.
  • Espresso Cream: Whisk cream, espresso powder, and confectioners' sugar to stiff peaks. Spread evenly over milk-chocolate mousse in pan, smoothing top. Refrigerate until set, at least 8 hours. (Pie can be loosely covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated up to 3 days.)
  • To serve, lightly dust top with cocoa, then run a thin knife around edges of pan to loosen; unlock pan and lift sides to remove. Transfer pie to a serving plate or cake stand and cut into wedges.

TRIPLE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE PIE



Triple Chocolate Mousse Pie image

For chocolate lover's only! Got this recipe last week after having this at a friends Christmas Party... First of all, it's HEAVENLY. Everyone kept talking about this pie & with word of mouth, it was gone before most could try it... I got to try it & it is delicious! I didn't even think I was that into chocolate, but this is very creamy & looked so pretty on the Holiday dessert table as it was garnished with puffs of whipped cream, drizzled with chocolate, topped with red cherries & green sprinkles... totally decadent! FYI: you can make pie crumb crust ahead of time & freeze or in a pinch use a store bought chocolate crumb Oreo pie shell...

TRIPLE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE



Triple chocolate mousse image

A trio of milk, dark and white chocolate combined in a delectable mousse

Provided by Gary Rhodes

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

butter , for greasing
425ml double cream
75g each good-quality milk, white, plain chocolate , broken into pieces
6 eggs , separated into 2-egg batches
75g caster sugar
50g plain chocolate , melted
icing sugar , single cream, chocolate curls

Steps:

  • For a 1.2 litre terrine, cut a strip of greaseproof paper as long as the tin and wide enough to cover the bottom and come up both long sides, with about 7.5cm to spare. Put the paper in the tin as if to line it, then draw a line across the paper on both sides where it meets the bottom edge, and the top edge, of the tin. Take the paper out of the tin and draw two lines at equal intervals between the bottom and top edge lines you have already drawn. (This will help you make each layer exactly the same depth when filling the tin.) Lightly grease the paper and use to line the tin.
  • Whip a third of the cream to just soft peak stage, then chill. Melt the milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water or microwave on High for 2 mins. Whisk 2 egg yolks and 25g/1oz sugar in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water with a hand-held electric blender for about 2-3 mins until the mixture has at least doubled in volume. Once you have reached this stage, remove the bowl from the heat and keep whisking, adding the melted chocolate - this not only incorporates the chocolate, but also cools the mixture more quickly. Leave to cool for a few minutes, then carefully fold in the whipped cream.
  • Quickly whisk two egg whites into soft peaks, making sure the bowl and whisk are spotless to ensure the maximum volume is obtained. Using a large metal spoon, carefully fold the egg white into the chocolate mixture so you don't knock out too much air.
  • Pour mixture into the terrine, filling it to first mark (any extra can be frozen), then freeze for 20-30 mins before starting the white chocolate mixture. Repeat process with white chocolate, then the plain; cover with plastic film and freeze completely. To guarantee a good set, make terrine at least 8-10 hrs or up to 2 days before.
  • Dip the tin briefly in a large bowl of hot water. Put a chopping board or flat plate on top and invert the mousse. Gently remove the paper and open freeze for about 10 mins to re-set. To decorate, pipe an outline of melted plain chocolate in a teardrop shape onto each plate. Dust the plates lightly with icing sugar, then carefully fill the teardrop with cream. Slice the mousse, wiping the knife after each cut, and put a slice on each plate. Decorate with chocolate curls and serve at once.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your mousse pie. Use the best quality dark chocolate you can find, with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Use cold cream: Chilling the cream before whipping it will help it whip up faster and produce a stiffer mousse.
  • Don't overbeat the mousse: Overbeaten mousse will be grainy and lack volume. Beat the mousse just until it holds stiff peaks.
  • Chill the mousse before serving: Chilling the mousse for at least 4 hours, or overnight, will help it set and develop its full flavor.
  • Serve the mousse with your favorite toppings: Fresh berries, whipped cream, or chocolate shavings are all great options.

This triple dark chocolate mousse pie is a rich, decadent, and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its layers of chocolate mousse, chocolate ganache, and chocolate cookie crust, this pie is sure to satisfy even the most discerning chocolate lover.
