Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Crust

    In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Press the Crust

    Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely.

Mousse Filling Preparation

  1. 3

    Melt the Chocolate

    In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.

  2. 4

    Whip the Cream

    In a large mixing bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  3. 5

    Prepare Egg Yolks

    In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks until pale. Add the melted chocolate to the yolks and mix until well combined.

  4. 6

    Combine Mixtures

    Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate-egg yolk mixture until just combined.

  5. 7

    Whip Egg Whites

    In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually fold the egg whites into the mousse mixture, being careful not to deflate the mixture.

  6. 8

    Fill the Crust

    Pour the mousse filling into the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

Serving Preparation
