Holy cow this was good. Made this for party yesterday and the whole thing was gobbled up. I think the addition of whipped cream on top is necessary when using semi-sweet chocolate. I took the advcie of another reviewer and used pie crust instead of cookie crust and loved that too.

This is my favorite dessert to bring to parties! It's easy and so, so good. I get compliments every time! At Christmas time, I like to add a couple of teaspoons of peppermint extract to the whipped cream that tops the pie and sprinkle crushed peppermint candies on top. I also use this chocolate mousse to fill and top cakes and other desserts, or just by itself!

slightly bitter for my taste which is probably explained because I added 1/4 cup of french roast coffee. but this tasted amazing paired with whipped cream and strawberries. with out the toppings though I would add a bit more sugar. I also used confectioner's sugar as recommended and got very smooth mousse.

Fantastic! I will probably make it in a 13x9 pan next time instead of a springform pan so I can cut it into smaller squares. I don't normally make my own cookie crusts but I had the Oreos so I made it in the food processor and kept it coarse - came out great. I used Ghirardelli chocolate. I used the second method for #3 but will probably make it in the microwave next time.

This was too easy to be so delicious! I love chocolate and this had the perfect amount of flavor and richness for me (and everyone who tried it!). I made a homemade graham cracker pie crust instead of using a chocolate one as I thought that might be too much for our guests. The amount of chocolate filling was enough to fill 2 9-inch pie pans so I may cut the recipe in half next time. I did not have a double broiler so I just melted the chocolate in a pan on low heat and that worked great. The smooth, creamy texture just makes you want to savor every bite! This will be my go-to chocolate pie from now on!

Super easy (I used the microwave for the heavy cream and choc. chips) and tastes delicious! I made in a pie pan and had some leftover mousse for the family members that have to eat gluten free. It was a hit with the kids and adults!

Really delicious. I did as another reviewer suggested and baked a chocolate cake (I used chocolate oil cake on this site) as a base and layered the mousse on top. Really good, and looked very impressive! Really rich though; next time I'm going to bring it to somebody else's house to they can take care of the inevitable leftovers!
