Chocolate Mousse Pie
 
  Ingredients

Crust 

3 cups chocolate wafer crumbs
1/2 cup melted butter

Filling 
1 pound semisweet chocolate 
2 eggs 
4 egg yolks 
2 cups whipping cream
6 tablespoons powdered sugar
4 egg whites, room temperature

Directions
To make the crust, combine crumbs and butter. Press onto bottom and up sides of pie pan. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or place in freezer-until chilled.

For the filling, soften chocolate in top of double boiler over simmering water, or melt in a microwave for two to three minutes. Cool. Add whole eggs and mix well. Add yolks and mix until thoroughly blended.

Whip cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Stir a little of the cream and whites into chocolate mixture. Fold in remaining cream and whites until completely incorporated. Pour into crust and chill at least six hours or overnight.
