For the Dark Chocolate Mousse:

• 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped

Recipe Directions

For the Crust:

1. In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until evenly moistened.

3. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while you prepare the mousse layers.

For the Dark Chocolate Mousse:

1. Place the chopped bittersweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
2. In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup of heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
3. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 1-2 minutes to melt the chocolate.
4. Gently whisk the mixture until smooth and well combined. Let it cool to room temperature.

For the Milk Chocolate Mousse:

1. Repeat the same process as the dark chocolate mousse, using the milk chocolate instead.

For the White Chocolate Mousse:

1. Repeat the same process as the dark chocolate mousse, using the white chocolate instead.

Assembly:

1. Once all three mousse layers have cooled to room temperature, whip the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of sugar until stiff peaks form.
2. Divide the whipped cream evenly among the three chocolate mixtures and gently fold until fully incorporated.
3. Starting with the dark chocolate mousse, spread it evenly over the prepared crust.
4. Repeat with the milk chocolate mousse, followed by the white chocolate mousse.
5. Smooth the top of the pie with a spatula and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
