I make this chocolate mousse pie for the holidays. It is the only pie that is gone at the end of the night. I use high-quality chocolate chips because they are easier to melt. You can use milk or semi-sweet chips. You can use any ready-made or cooked pie crust.
Ingredients
Crust
- 21 chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
- ¼ cup butter, softened
Topping
- 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
- 1/4 cup white sugar
Filling
- cups heavy cream, divided
- 1 (12-ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease a 9-inch springform pan with 2 3/4-inch sides.
Step 2
Make crust: Mix together crushed cookies and butter in a medium bowl until well combined. Press mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Step 4
Make filling: Combine 1 cup cream, chocolate chips, vanilla, and salt in the top of a double boiler. Heat, stirring occasionally, until chocolate is fully melted and mixture is smooth. Pour chocolate mixture into a large bowl; cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
Beat 2 cups cream in a second large bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold into chocolate mixture until well combined. Pour mixture into cooled crust. Chill pie in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours before topping and serving.
Step 6
Make topping: Beat chilled cream and sugar with an electric mixer in a medium bowl until stiff. Pipe onto the top of pie with a star tip, or spoon dollops onto each slice to serve.
Editor’s Note:
You can also make the filling in step 4 in a food processor. Place 1 cup cream, chocolate chips, vanilla, and salt in the processor bowl. Bring 1 cup cream to a boil on the stovetop, then slowly pour into the processor bowl with the blade running until mixture is smooth. Pour chocolate mixture into a large bowl; cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
