Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Chocolate cookie crumbs
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1.25 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
• 1.5 teaspoons Instant espresso powder
• 2 tablespoons Hot water
• 3 Large egg yolks
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 1.5 cups Heavy whipping cream, cold
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0 Optional chocolate shavings for garnish

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.

Step 2

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form an even crust. Place in the freezer to set while preparing the filling.

Step 3

In a heatproof bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and instant espresso powder. Pour the hot water over the top and let sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth and melted. Let cool slightly.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Stir the melted chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture until well combined. Let it cool to room temperature.

Step 6

While the chocolate mixture cools, whip the cold heavy cream in a large bowl using a hand mixer or stand mixer. Start on low speed and gradually increase to high until soft peaks form. Add the vanilla extract and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.

Step 7

Fold half of the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture to lighten it. Then, gently fold in the remaining whipped cream until fully incorporated.

Step 8

Pour the mousse into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

Step 9

Before serving, let the pie sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften slightly. Garnish with chocolate shavings, if desired, and slice into wedges.
