Steps:
- 1. Crush cookies (about 1/2 package for an 8-inch crust). Do more if you think it is not enough. Melt 1/2 stick of butter to hold the crust together. Add more butter if needed. For a pie shape you can use a pie tin, I use a spring form pan. Also is lovely with no crust and using champagne glasses or whatever fun shaped large or individual serving bowls/glasses you have.
- 2. Melt cream, chocolate, and vanilla slowly in a double boiler. You can use a heat-proof bowl over a regular pot on the stove as well. Cool to room temperature.
- 3. Beat two cups heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla, to stiff peaks.
- 4. Fold whipped cream into the chocolate mixture.
- 5. Pour into the prepared crust (can also make this in individual serving bowls). Chill 6 hours until set. I make this a day ahead.
- 6. Top with additional whipped cream. I like to do a full layer of the whipped cream on the entire top of the pie and then garnish it with shaved chocolate. You can top with whipped cream on each individual piece and Oreo's as well.

Steps:
- Note 1: vegans: use barley-malt-sweetened nondairy chocolate chips or use a really good vegan chocolate bar (like Rapunzel Organic Bittersweet) instead of some or all of the chips.
- Note 2: I use the Mori Nu brand of tofu for this (since it's from their box), but you can use any brand, just make sure it is the"silken" type and not regular.

- Pour into a serving bowl or bowls and refrigerate, covered, for at least a couple of hours.

For chocolate lover's only! Got this recipe last week after having this at a friends Christmas Party... First of all, it's HEAVENLY. Everyone kept talking about this pie & with word of mouth, it was gone before most could try it... I got to try it & it is delicious! I didn't even think I was that into chocolate, but this is very creamy & looked so pretty on the Holiday dessert table as it was garnished with puffs of whipped cream, drizzled with chocolate, topped with red cherries & green sprinkles... totally decadent!

BOURBON-SOAKED CHERRY-CHOCOLATE MOUSSE PIE

Time 10h20m
Yield 6 to 8 servings
Number Of Ingredients 12
Steps:
- For the pie: The day before making the pie, put the cherries and bourbon in an airtight container and let set overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line an 8-inch pie dish with the pie crust. Trim the excess off, crimp the edges and poke the bottom and sides with a fork. Place a piece of parchment or wax paper on the crust in the pie dish and fill three-quarters full with dried beans.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the beans and paper, return to the oven and finish baking until medium brown, another 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, sugar and cocoa powder and whip until light and fluffy. Add the cream, vanilla and salt and whip on low to combine. Turn to high and whip until light and fluffy and stiff peaks form.
- Drain the bourbon off the cherries (save the bourbon and make a nice cocktail for later). Reserve 5 to 6 cherries for decorating the top of the pie.
- Spoon half of the chocolate mousse into the cooled pie shell and spread evenly. Sprinkle half of the remaining cherries over the filling. Spoon the rest of the mousse over the cherries and smooth out. Top with the remaining cherries.
- For the topping: In the same mixing bowl, add the cream, sugar and vanilla and whip until stiff peaks form. Pipe or spoon on the topping and decorate with the saved cherries. Put in the fridge for at least an hour and up to overnight.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the mousse pie will be. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Make sure the cream is cold before whipping it. This will help it whip up faster and more easily.
- Don't overbeat the cream. If you overbeat it, it will become grainy.
- Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture gently. This will help to prevent the mousse from deflating.
- Chill the mousse pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help it to set and firm up.
Conclusion:
Chocolate mousse pie is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a chocolate mousse pie that will impress your friends and family.
