Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Cookie Crust
- 1 chocolate cookie crust (9-inch)
Filling
- 1½ cups heavy cream
- 1 cup melted dark chocolate
- 2 tbsp sugar
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream together with the sugar until soft peaks form, ensuring the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Fold in Chocolate: Gently fold the melted dark chocolate into the whipped cream, combining carefully to keep the mousse airy and smooth without deflating the cream.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the chocolate mousse filling into the chocolate cookie crust, spreading it evenly.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours, or until the mousse is fully set and firm.
Notes
- Ensure the heavy cream is very cold before whipping for best volume.
- Use good quality dark chocolate for richer flavor and smooth texture.
- To speed up chilling, you can place the pie in the freezer for 1 to 1.5 hours, but monitor to avoid freezing.
- Serve chilled and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
