I agree with some other reviews that this is not really a mousse texture but it is still an excellent eggless dessert. Was very easy to make. I followed the suggestion to do step 3 in a microwave which makes it completely hasslefree. I added a teaspoon of instant coffee powder to the chocolate mix when I made it the 2nd time which made it really 'wow' Also worked great as a layer between chocolate cake.

Can I give this 10 stars? First try, and it was a HUGE hit at a party!!!!!!! If you give this less than 5 stars because you think it is chocolate overload or too rich, then you obviously didn't read the title! I made the filling just as instructed, using Ghiradelli. I wouldn't double the crust as others suggested. I added an extra 5 oreos and another tablespoon of butter. I only pressed it up the side of the pan about an inch and the thickness was perfect all around. This will be my new solution to the question "Can you bring a dessert?"

WONDERFUL! However I didn't make the oreo crust because it sounded like over-kill. I tried it twice once with gheridelli chocolate and once with hershy's and gheridelli was much better!

I usually do not rate recipes on this site but I had to for this one. Let me begin by saying that I am not a baker. With this recipe, completed with no changes, it was delicious. I will definitely make it again.

This recipe is very good, but also quite rich. I doubled the cookie crust based on others' comments and it was a bit too thick, so I think 1 1/2 times the crust recipe would've been best. I flavored the whipped cream topping with 4 Tablespoons of Hazelnut Kahlua liqeur and reduced the sugar to 2 Tablespoons -- came out great. I topped it with fresh raspberries and lightly toased, finely chopped pecans. It wowed my guests. I will definitely make this again. This dessert tastes best when served closer to room temp (but still slightly chilled) -- the texture is more creamy and silky. (You can also find this recipe on epicurious.com -- it's called "chocolate mousse pie.")

I use high quality dark chocolate for this recipe and the double broiler method. It's become a family favorite.

This recipe is so easy and very tasty. I never review recipes, but this has been such a hit with my family and friends, I felt I must share. Every special occassion someone asks me to make this pie. I use ghirardelli chocolate and add just a touch of coffee to the chocolate when melting it. Turns out perfect everytime!

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out to be chocolate fluid! Very tasty chocolate fluid, but not having the consistency of mousse at all! I don't think I will be making this again...

This is incredibly good! It's rich, but I really didn't think it was overwhelmingly so. I had oohs and ahhhs when I served it to family members at our father's day parties (on two different occassions). I did the recipe exactly as written, too.

I made the filling only as a chocolate mousse in wine glasses, topped with whipped cream. It set up beautifully adn everyone loved it, even the kids that had no idea what it was and were very nervous of trying it. I am definitely going to make this again, and will likely try it as a pie next time.

This was so easy and so GOOD!! I made it even easier by doing step 3 in the microwave instead of a double boiler--just combine the chocolate and cream and heat at 1-minute intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted. Also, I made this for Thanksgiving and my mom doesn't like to eat a lot of sugar, so I used unsweetened chocolate (good quality, of course, is key) and Splenda (probably about 1/3 C). It turned out great. Oh, and also I used a regular pastry pie crust instead of the cookie crust. I think it was definitely the way to go. The filling is so rich, I think the cookie crust would have been too much. I think this recipe will become a new holiday tradition. Thanks!!

This was very good. I was thinking it may be a "chocolate overload", given the name of the recipe. It's really just an egg-less, whipped chocolate cream pie. For me, it didn't have the density of a mousse, even after refrigerating overnight. I did follow the recipe exactly, and used high quality (Ghirardelli) chocolate chips. Very good, but not overly rich, if that's what you're looking for. It was easy, so I'd make it again if I needed a chocolate desert in a pinch.
