• Step 3 – Cool Chocolate – Let the chocolate mixture sit at room temperature to allow it to cool slightly.

Why is My Chocolate Mousse Soupy?

When combining the whipped cream mixture with the chocolate mixture, make sure to no overmix. You want to combine these ingredients until just mixed together. If mixing to long, it could cause the mixture to be soupy.

How to Cut Chocolate Mousse Pie:

To achieve clean lines when cutting the Chocolate Mousse Pie, it is best to warm your knife. Place the knife under hot water, wipe dry and then slice your pie. You may need to do this after each slice for best results.

What Type of Pan do I use?

Since we used a store bought pie crust, we used the pan that the pie crust came in. But if you are making Homemade pie crust, you may need to use springform pan or a regular pie dish.

For a more festive look, feel free to put the foil pie pan in a pie plate. This allows the pie to be more sturdy when transporting.

Recipe Tips:

• Chocolate Shavings – You can chop chocolate in different ways. We found that a vegetable peeler works great to get the perfect shaved chocolate. But you can also use a food processor.
• Melting Chocolate – For a smooth chocolate texture, make sure to not over heat the chocolate. We like to melt in 30 second intervals so we can stir each time.
• Cooling Chocolate – After the chocolate and heavy cream has melted, allow it to cool to room temperature.
• Cooling Pie – It is important to allow the pie to chill after combining all the ingredients. This allows the pie to set properly. We like to prepare the pie the day before serving so it can chill overnight.

Chocolate Pie Variations:

• Crust – Feel free to change the crust in this recipe. We love the flavor of the Oreo Crust, but you can make homemade crust. A graham cracker crust would also be delicious in this recipe.
• Homemade Whipped Topping – Feel free to make Homemade Whipped topping for this recipe. It is easy to make and is so delicious.
• Chocolate Topping – We love the chocolate shavings that are added to the top of these pie. But you can also sprinkle with mini chocolate chips. Feel free to use dark chocolate or milk chocolate variation.

How to Store Leftovers:

Refrigerate the leftovers, covered, for up to 5 days.Store in an air tight container for best results.

Can I Freeze Chocolate Mousse Pie?

Yes, this pie is perfect to freezer and serve a different day. We recommend prepare the chocolate filling and placing in the Oreo Crust. Then when you are ready to serve top with the whipped topping and chocolate shavings.

Wrap pie in plastic wrap and foil and store in a freeze safe container. The pie will last about 2 months. Then when ready to serve, thaw pie in the fridge overnight or for about 24 hours.

Top with whipped topping and chocolate shavings and serve.
