Favorite part of any meal? Dessert. More specifically, PIE. Hands down. No questions asked. I’ll eat pie all the live-long-day.

Chocolate Mousse Pie. Ahhhhh. This particular pie was my favorite growing up – actually it still is. My mom would make it and my siblings and I would FIGHT over it. Literally. We’d eat it for breakfast – it disappeared at our house. It was coveted.

What makes this Chocolate Mousse pie so special? A couple of things. First of all? The graham cracker crust. (*brief pause while I sing my “ode to the crust”*) SUCH a sucker for the crusts. I love crusts SO that I DOUBLE my graham cracker crust. It’s amazing. Life-changing even.

The other thing that makes this Chocolate Mousse pie so special? Raw eggs. I know, I know… it sounds sketchy, but have a little faith and trust in Kaylynn. This is delicious. Don’t knock it until you try it. Just sayin.

Plus, the options here are endless. Notice “chocolate chips” up there? Puh-lease. Girl, if you wanted to do peanut butter chips (tried that) or half peanut butter, half chocolate chips (tried that too) you can’t go wrong. Feel free to experiment with the crust too. My fav is graham cracker – and again, I double it. But I’ve done Oreo and that’s a party too. No matter what, you’ll end up with deliciousness in your mouth. Get creative and have fun!

What concoction are you going to try first??
