Mocha Mousse Pie
By: Jeanne - Oxford, WI - 3rd Place Winner 2015
"My husband's family always got together for holidays. There were three boys, and all of us wives were told to provide a certain part of the meal. One Thanksgiving, I was supposed to bring pies. In addition to traditional apple and pumpkin pies, I decided on a whim to make this chocolate pie. To my surprise, the dish was more popular that Thanksgiving than any of the more traditional pies. It's been a favorite in our house ever since."
