CHOCOLATE MOUSSE PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 375 F. Lightly spray an 8-inch pie dish with cooking spray.
• In a food processor, combine the crushed cookies and sugar; pulse a few times to combine. With the food processor running on low, slowly add the melted butter until the mixture comes together.
• Transfer the cookie mixture to the prepared pie dish. Press the mixture evenly in the bottom of the dish and up the sides.
• Bake until set, about 12 minutes. Set aside while you make the mousse filling.
• Gather the filling ingredients.
• Separate the egg yolks from the whites. In a large bowl whisk the egg yolks and sugar until light and frothy, about 1 minute.
• Heat 3/4 cups of the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to steam.
• Remove from the heat, add the chocolate, stirring until it's melted completely. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, about 3 minutes.
• Very slowly whisk the chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture until fully combined. Set aside to cool until room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• In another large bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form.
• Fold about 1/3 of the egg whites into the chocolate-egg yolk mixture with a silicone spatula-do not worry too much about losing any of the air from the egg whites.
• Fold the remaining egg whites into the chocolate-egg yolk mixture until only a few streaks remain (careful not to overmix).
• Using the bowl the egg whites were in, beat the remaining 1/4 cup cream on medium speed until stiff peaks form.
• Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate-egg yolk mixture until no streaks remain.
• Transfer the mousse to the baked pie crust, spreading into an even layer. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, but overnight is best.
• Gather topping ingredients.
• When ready to serve, make the whipped cream. Beat the cream, sugar, and vanilla with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
• Top the pie with the whipped cream and chocolate shavings just before serving.

Steps:

• Whip 1 cup of the heavy cream to soft peaks in a medium bowl (see Cook's Note). Set aside.
• Add the egg, egg yolks, sugar, espresso powder, vanilla extract, salt and 1 tablespoon water to a medium heatproof bowl and whisk to combine. Set the bowl over a medium saucepan of gently simmering water (do not allow the bowl to touch the water). Whisk constantly until the mixture is pale, hot to the touch and has almost doubled in volume, about 4 to 6 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally with a rubber spatula, if necessary. Remove from the heat and continue whisking until cooled, about 2 minutes.
• Put the chopped chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl and set over the saucepan of gently simmering water (do not allow the bowl to touch the water). Stir occasionally with a rubber spatula until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and gently stir for about 3 minutes to cool slightly.
• Whisk the egg mixture into the melted chocolate in 3 additions until combined. (The mixture may get very thick.) Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in 3 additions until it is fully incorporated. It is important that the chocolate mixture is not warm to ensure that it combines smoothly with the whipped cream without seizing up.
• Divide the chocolate mousse among four 4-ounce ramekins and chill until firm, about 1 hour.
• Whip the remaining 3/4 cup cold heavy cream to stiff peaks. Top each chocolate mousse with whipped cream and serve. (For a softer texture, allow the ramekins to sit at room temperature while you whip the cream.)
