How to Make Chocolate Amaretto Mousse Pie

  1. Beat 3 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  2. Gradually beat in 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar until the mixture is stiff and glossy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 large egg yolks, 1/2 cup (120ml) milk, 1 packet (2 tsp) unflavored gelatin, 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Combine the yolk mixture with 6 ounces (170g) finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate over low heat.
  5. Heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is melted, the mixture is smooth, and slightly thickened. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons amaretto liqueur.
  7. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  8. Gently fold the chocolate mixture into the egg whites, being careful not to deflate.
  9. Allow the mixture to cool completely to room temperature.
  10. Once cooled, gently fold in the whipped cream.
  11. Pour the mousse into your prepared pie crust (9-inch) or individual serving dishes. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
