For an extra rich flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate chips. A graham cracker crust or Oreo cookie crust are delicious alternatives to a traditional pie crust. If you're short on time, you can use store-bought whipped cream, but homemade is always better! To make chocolate curls, run a vegetable peeler along the edge of a chocolate bar.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
2 mins
In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar and cornstarch until thoroughly combined. Gradually whisk in milk, ensuring a smooth consistency. (2 minutes)
02
Step
7 mins
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil. Continue stirring for 1 minute to ensure the cornstarch is fully cooked and the mixture has thickened. Remove from heat. (5-7 minutes)
03
Step
2 mins
Add chocolate chips and vanilla extract to the hot milk mixture. Stir until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy. (2 minutes)
04
Step
40 mins
Transfer the chocolate mixture to a large mixing bowl. Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Allow to cool to room temperature. (30-45 minutes)
05
Step
4 mins
While the chocolate mixture cools, prepare the whipped cream. In a large bowl, combine whipping cream and powdered sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip. (3-5 minutes)
06
Step
3 mins
Once the chocolate mixture has cooled, uncover it and beat with clean beaters until light and fluffy. (2-3 minutes)
07
Step
2 mins
Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture, being careful not to overmix. The goal is to incorporate the whipped cream while maintaining the airiness of the mousse. (1-2 minutes)
08
Step
3 mins
Spoon the chocolate mousse into the baked pie crust and spread evenly. Top with the remaining whipped cream, creating decorative swirls or peaks. (2-3 minutes)
09
Step
2 hrs 30 mins
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 to 3 hours, or until firm. This allows the mousse to set and the flavors to meld. (2-3 hours)
