MINTY MOUSSE PIE AU CHOCOLAT
This is a recipe I adopted from the Recipezaar account. UPDATE May 30, 2006: This is great! The mint flavour somewhat dissipates but it is still lurking in there! As it was hot in my kitchen, the chocolate mixture never got to room temperature. Therefore, mine never really "set up" properly. So I froze it. That worked beautifully! It was like a fudgsicle in a pie shell. It was somewhat difficult to cut but it wasn't impossible. I look forward to making this again and again. It was a great treat on an unbearably hot day! Plus, it is nice to know that I have a special sweet treat hiding in my freezer just waiting for me! (Chilling time is not included)

- In a medium bowl, combine heavy cream with remaining 2 T sugar; beat until stiff.
- Remove plastic wrap from chocolate; beat well.
- Fold in whipped cream. (I left mine with some lumpy parts and we liked it like that.).

Steps:
- Melt chocolate in bain marie, set aside.
- Seperate egg yolks from egg whites.
- Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form, refrigerate.
- Whip cream until very stiff, refrigerate.
- Beat egg yolks with powdered sugar, gradually adding two tablespoons boiling water until you get a smooth light yellow cream.
- Slowly beat creamed egg yolks into molten chocolate. Don't worry if it makes a very stiff glob.
- Very quickly fold in the stiff egg whites - it might be some beating instead of gently folding in to get a smooth blend! But don't overbeat, just stir in the egg whites with enough vigour to combine choclate cream and whites.
- As soon as you have a smooth blend, fold in the whipped cream. This time it should be more of a gentle folding inches.
- As soon as everything is combined and smooth, refrigerate for about 4-6 hours.
- Serve with any garnish you like :-).
- Enjoy.
