Ouch! My teeth hurt from the sweetness level of this pie! Waaaay too much powdered sugar -- so much that you can actually identify a powdered sugar taste. And it's not chocolately enough. Every year at Thanksgiving I mourn not being able to make the best EVER frozen chocolate mousse pie recipe I have because of the raw eggs it contained and I look for a replacement. This isn't it, but I think it has potential. I will try it again but only use two cups of sugar for this recipe, and I'd replace part of the semi-sweet chocolate with dark or unsweetened chocolate. Also, this recipe makes enough for TWO 8" pies -- too, too much mousse. If it tasted good that wouldn't be a problem, but... Sorry Paula.

Delicious! I actually halfed the recipe since I didn't have quite enough morsels and whipping creme on hand. Halfing the recipe still made one pie with plenty of filling. I also did not have any chocolate creme liquier, so I threw in some cocoa powder.

I have made this pie for a few holidays, it is awesome. used oreo ready made crust in place of regular crust. i have read reviews, think some used wrong chocolate. i see this as using sweet cream to off set dark chocolate, really works well if done right. dark chocolate is a bit tart, cream sure sweetens it up. am going to make it this year for thanksgiving and maybe chirstmas too. this pie will disappear, loved by all/

Absolutly fabulous! I made this for Thanksgiving Dinner and the only thing I did different was substitute a graham cracker crust and it was still great!
