This luscious chocolate mousse pie is similar to a chocolate French silk pie, but without the egg. A cocoa-infused graham cracker crust is "glazed" with melted chocolate, filled with a fluffy chocolate mousse and garnished with whipped cream and a gilding of chocolate drizzle. A chocolate lover's pie indeed!

Chocolate Lover's Chocolate Mousse Pie

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Baking Cocoa
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted
