I discovered a fast recipe for a delectable chocolate mousse some years ago and thought it might make a good filling for a pie. The chocolate lovers in our family endorse this scrumptious dessert, saying that it melts in your mouth ! —Keri Scofield Lawson, Fullerton, California Ingredients:
2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips |
1-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, whipped, divided |
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar |
1 tablespoon vanilla extract |
1 chocolate cookie crust (8 or 9 inches) |
whipped cream and chocolate-covered peppermint candies, optional |
Directions:
1. In a microwave-safe dish, combine the chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of cream; cook on high for 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Cool to room temperature.
2. Stir in sugar and vanilla; set aside. In a small bowl, beat remaining cream until soft peaks form. Beat in chocolate mixture on high, one third at a time; mix well. Spoon into crust. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Garnish with whipped cream and candies if desired. Yield: 8-10 servings.
