Favorite Chocolate Recipe
What is your favorite chocolate recipe? Is it cake, cookies, pie, ice cream, mousse or triffle? Is it served in individual dishes, or is it everyone serve themself? Is it served at birthdays, or other special occasions? Is it an ethnic dish (i.e. Mazurek Czekoladowy--Chocolate Mazurek from Poland)? Let's share those wonderful desserts with each other.
Chocolate Mousse:

21 chocolate sandwich cookies crushed an flattened into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 5 min at 350.
The mousse

1/4 cup white sugar (not powdered)
1 cup cream, chilled
1/4 cup sugar
Combine 1 cup cream, chocolate, vanilla, and salt, in top of double boiler Heat until chocolate is fully melted and mixture is smooth.
Pour chocolate into a bowl and cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
In a large bowl, beat two cups chilled cream with 1/4 sup sugar. Beat into stiff peaks, then fold whipped cream into chocolate. Pour mixture into cool crust. Chill at least 6 hours before serving. Beat 1 cup cream with 1/4 cup sugar. Beat until it's stiff then Pipe onto dessert, or spoon a dollop on each piece.
