How to Make Chocolate Crème Mousse Pie
Heat ½ cup of the heavy cream gently until just warm (not boiling).
Pour warm cream over chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit 1–2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
Stir in vanilla and a pinch of salt. Let chocolate mixture cool to room temperature.
In a separate bowl, whip the remaining heavy cream with sugar until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the whipped cream until fully combined and silky.
Spoon mousse into the prepared crust and smooth the top.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) until set.
Top as desired and serve chilled.
Why This Dessert Works
Chocolate + cream create richness without heaviness.
Whipped cream gives the mousse its airy texture.
Chilling time allows the pie to set into perfect slices.
Simple ingredients, luxurious results.
Dessert Intention
As you fold the mousse, pause and think:
“I allow myself to enjoy sweetness fully.”
Because indulgence doesn’t need a reason.
Notes + Easy Swaps
Use dark chocolate for a richer, less sweet pie.
Add espresso powder for deeper chocolate flavor.
Make it extra decadent with a brownie crust.
For softer slices, let the pie sit at room temp 5–10 minutes before serving.
