Ingredients
-
6 ounces semisweet baking chocolate, chopped
-
3 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
-
3 large eggs, separated
-
½ teaspoon cream of tartar
-
¼ cup white sugar
-
½ cup cold heavy whipping cream
-
2 tablespoons white sugar
-
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 (9 inch) prepared chocolate cookie crumb crust
Chocolate Whipped Topping:
-
1 cup heavy whipping cream
-
⅓ cup white sugar
-
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
-
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
-
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 pinch salt
Directions
-
Chill a large bowl for about 1 hour.
-
Melt chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler over simmering water until smooth, about 5 minutes; remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Whisk egg yolks into chocolate one at a time, allowing each yolk to blend completely before adding the next.
-
Beat egg whites in another bowl until foamy. Beat in cream of tartar. Gradually beat in 1/4 cup white sugar until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the tip of the peak formed by the egg whites should curl over slightly.
-
Beat 1/2 cup heavy cream in chilled bowl until thickened. Add 2 tablespoons white sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract; continue to beat until soft peaks form.
-
Gently fold egg whites into chocolate mixture. Fold whipped cream into chocolate mixture until mousse is just blended. Spoon chocolate mousse into pie crust. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
-
Beat 1 cup heavy cream, 1/3 cup white sugar, 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, and salt in bowl until soft peaks form. Spoon over chocolate mousse before serving.
Cook's Note:
You do not have to garnish it with the raspberries and chocolate, it just makes it look a little nice, and the raspberries add a little something nice to the flavor.
