This pie was very good! I used some 1 tsp amaretto in place of 1 tsp of the water (in the chocolate mixture) for an extra almond flavor. I also made a homemade Oreo crust to go with it.

This was pretty good - pretty rich, but good. I think it's one of those recipes where it comes down to the little things, i.e. the flavor of the instant coffee, whether or not you add the almond/vanilla extract. I didn't have the almond extract so I left it out - would have been interested to try it or even the mint flavored extract.

This pie is so good! I brought it to a 4th of July BBQ and everyone loved it! It is a bit rich, but still great. I defnitely reccomend chilling the pie overnight to get a nice firm (not soupy) consistency. When I made it I thought I had done something wrong because it looked so soupy, but after leaving it in the fridge overnight, it was perfect! Overall, easy to make and so delicious!

This is the most heavenly chocolate pie I have ever eaten. A little advice, if you are gonna make it to take to a family gathering, make two, cause everyone will want two pieces.

This tasted good, but I didn't find it to be firm enough for presentation.

I usually love all your reviews & recipes but this one was TOO TOO rich for myself & family. If only the whole pie was filled with the topping.

A really good version of this is to put it in the freezer instead of the fridge until completely frozen. The mousse ends up reminding you of ice cream but is still light and fluffy.

I made this for Christmas and it was awesome. I made my crust using crushed low fat honey graham crackers and did not put any of the topping on it. It was rich enough without.

i doubled the coffee, and i didnt add cocoa powder to the topping... i wanted a little something bland since the whole thing was so rich and sweet. i also added chopped walnuts on top. this is a great recipe and it was delicious!

This pie didn't get rave reviews like many other highly rated pies I've made from this site. It was pretty rich for our taste, but that may be the problem - we don't really like very rich desserts. Also, I'm not sure I did well with folding in the egg whites. I guess my overall review would be - if you like rich chocolate pie, then give it a try!

I wish I could give this a higher rating, but five stars is as high as it goes! This is the best chocolate mousse pie I've ever had! Even better than in any restaurant I've ever had anything mousse in! It was easy to make and store, and I even made mine non-dairy using Rich's whipping cream. Everybody raved about the pie. Thanks!!

Get ready to fall in love! This is THE best chocolate mousse pie I have EVER made. It was beyond good. Better than any I have had while eating out. Also this is SO easy to make!!! The only thing I would change is a little less almond in the whipped cream.

This is an excellent pie! I used ghirardelli cocoa and chocolate chips. I also made my own crust using graham crackers, cocoa, sugar & butter. I made this recipe twice. The first time I used less almond than it called for and it was very good. The second time I left out the almond & vanilla from the topping, and honestly, you just don't need them... the pie is so much on it's own:) I topped with drizzled fudge & small pieces of cut strawberries for decoration. Very decadent pie, a HUGE hit and a must try! Thanks!

Can you say YUMMY??? The only thing I would do differently is chill the chocolate part until VERY firm (maybe overnight) because my whipped cream topping (I used peppermint instead of almond) just kind of sunk into the chocolate, since the chocolate was still quite soft after 1 hour.

Good flavor, but I wish the choclate filling would've been a little firmer. I might try adding more gelatin next time. Overall, a bit time consuming, but really well received at Thanksgiving.
