Ingredients
For the crust
- 250 g (9oz) chocolate cookies
- ⅓ cup butter melted
For the chocolate mousse filling
- 4 egg separated
- ¼ cup caster sugar
- 100 g (3.5oz) milk chocolate
- 100 g (3.5oz) dark chocolate
- 1 cup (250ml) heavy cream or whipping cream
- salt pinch
For the topping
- 2 cups heavy cream or whipping cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar Optional. For a less-sweet dessert, leave this out, aka icing sugar
Instructions
- To make the crust, place the cookies in the bowl of a food processor and blend until fine. Pour in the melted butter and pulse until the mixture resembles damp sand.
- Grease a 22cm/9inch springform pan then press the cookie mixture into the bottom of the pan. Place in the fridge to set.
- To make the chocolate mousse, place the egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment.
- Whisk the eggs and sugar together for 8-10 minutes until voluminous and pale yellow. Scrape the bowl down with a rubber spatula every 2-3 minutes to make sure the eggs are well incorporated.
- Break the chocolate up and place in a glass bowl. Place over a pot of barely simmering water and melt.
- Once completely melted, remove from the heat and allow to cool down for 5 minutes.
- In another clean bowl, whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
- Whip the cold cream until firm peaks form.
- Once the egg yolks are whipped, pour in the cooled chocolate and mix until combined. The mixture will stiffen up quite a bit, but that's fine.
- Stir in one third of the cream to loosen the chocolate then gently fold in the remaining cream with a metal spoon.
- Fold in the beaten egg whites, taking care not to lose the airy texture.
- Transfer the chocolate mousse to the cookie base then place in the fridge. Allow to set for at least 12 hours but ideally overnight.
- Once you're ready to serve, whip the remaining cream with powdered sugar (if using) until soft peaks form.
- Remove the pie from the pan then top with the whipped cream, slice and serve.
