Frozen Chocolate Mousse Pie

This is made like an icecream pie in a pastry shell. What could be more amazing! If you wanted, you could make small individual pies with this mixture. Freeze the mixture on a tray then cut the frozen mixture into rectangles, which can each be sandwiched between wafer biscuits and you have your own "Eskimo Pies".



Ingredients:


2 cups semisweet chocolate chips


1 quart, plus 3 tablespoons heavy cream


1 tablespoon chocolate crème liqueur


1 teaspoon vanilla extract


3 cups powdered sugar


1 premade pie shell


Chocolate chips, for topping



Method:


Preheat oven to 180C.


Prick holes to bottom of pie shell. Bake in oven for 11 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool.


In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, add chocolate chips, 3 tablespoons heavy cream and chocolate liqueur. Cook until smooth, about 1 minute. Add Vanilla extract. Mix and let cool.


In a mixing bowl combine sugar and 1 quart heavy cream. Whip as if you were making Whipped cream. Slowly fold the chocolate sauce into the cream.


Next pour the mousse mixture into the pie shell. Add chocolate chips to the top of the pie. Wrap the pie in clingfilm and freeze for a few hours or overnight.
