Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a measuring cup for an even press. Set aside.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 15-20 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream mixture until fully incorporated and no streaks remain. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Pour the mousse filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours, or until set.
Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings or a light dusting of cocoa powder, if desired.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your easy mousse pie!
