I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my midnight mint turned out more like a chocolate mousse than a pie. It was still delicious, but not what I was expecting.

I'm not a huge fan of mint, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. The mint flavor was subtle and refreshing, and the chocolate was rich and decadent.

This recipe was easy to follow and the results were delicious. I made a few minor changes, like using dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet, and it turned out great.

Meh. The flavor was okay, but the texture was a bit too dense for my liking.
