Ingredients:
-----Chocolate Mousse----- 6
Oz
Semisweet Chocolate Chips,
or chunks
5
Tbl
Boiling Water 4
Eggs,
separated
2
Tbl
Dark Rum,
(or coffee or liquer
-----Graham Cracker Crust----- 15
Graham Crackers 1
Tbl
Sugar 1/2
Tsp
Cinnamon 1/4
Cup
Butter,
melted
Directions:
Put the chocolate in a blender on high for 6 seconds (or so). Scrape the
sides of the blender with a knife. Add the water and blend on high for 10
seconds. Then add the yolks and liquer/coffee and blend until smooth.
Meanwhile, beat the egg ehites to stiffness.
Fold the chocolate into the egg whites. Pour mousse into cups or into the
graham crakcer crust. It makes about 4-6 servings.
Break the crackers into a blender and blend into crumbs. Place the crumbs
into a bowl. Stir in the sugar, cinnamon and add the butter and mix. Press
into a pie plate and chill before adding filling.
I cheated and bought a Keebler shell. I brushed it with egg white and baked
it at 350 for 5 minutes. I guess you could do that with this crust, never
tried.
Your standard toll-house chocolate works fine for the mousse but the
Ghirardelli chocolate made my knees weak! I also used anisette instead of rum.
You should have seen my kitchen! Flour and chocolate EVERYWHERE! At least I
got to lick the bowl
