CHOCOLATE MOUSSE PIE
This is the ultimate chocolate experience. The recipe comes from Bon Appetit. The only things I do differently when preparing are to use a store bought chocolate crumb crust that I blind bake, brushed with egg white, for 5 min ay 375, and add a bit of sugar and vanilla to the whipped cream that goes on top. I also do not use the food processor method for the mousse. I just bring the cream to a boil, then pour it over the chocolate, vanilla, and salt; then stir until melted.
