Chocolate-Amaretto Mousse Pie image

My mother made this silky pie when I was a child. It was my father's favorite. The fluffy chocolate-almond filling is held in a thin chocolate shell. Be warned, it is so rich that you should only take a sliver.-Jamie Burkhart, Windsor, Missouri

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pie didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The mousse was a little too dense and the cookie crust was too crumbly.
