Ingredients

For the cocoa crust

For the dark chocolate mousse filling

For the garnishes

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream whipped softly with 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • Chocolate shavings made by running a veggie peeler down the long side of a [url]Ghirardelli Bittersweet Chocolate 60% Cacao Baking Bar.

Instructions

To make the cocoa crust:

  • Place the flour, cocoa, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Stir in the oil, until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
  • Add the butter slices, tossing to coat.
  • Stir in the water, a tablespoon at a time, just until the dough gathers itself into a ball.
  • Flatten the dough into a disc shape, wrap tightly, and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • On a lightly floured surface, pat or roll the dough into a rectangle about ½-inch thick.  Fold it into thirds, like a letter.  Roll out again to a thickness of ½-inch.  Turn the dough 90 degrees and repeat two more times.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours minimum.
  • Dust the work surface with flour, and roll the dough out to an inch or two larger than your pie dish.
  • Roll the dough around the rolling pin, and transfer to the dish.
  • Trim off any excess, then roll and crimp the edge.
  • Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees F.
  • Cool completely before filling.

To make the dark chocolate mousse filling:

  • Place the chocolate, water, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl and microwave in 30 second increments, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until melted and smooth.
  • Fold in the whipped cream and vanilla until combined.
  • Transfer to the cooled pie crust, cover loosely, and refrigerate for two hours (or preferably overnight).
  • Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
