FALLING IN LOVE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE PIE: National Pi(e) Day

Today is Pi Day, and for this Chocolate Blog that means Pie Day! A few years ago I posted the recipe for Marshmallow Mermaid Pie from the movie Waitress. Waitress (2007) was written and directed by the late Adrienne Shelly. Jenna, played by Keri Russell (The Americans), is a woman trapped in a life she dreams of escaping. Jenna bakes this pie--Falling in Love Chocolate Mousse Pie -- for a friend before a date, and the friend winds up marrying her date! This pie is easy to make and delicious. It's a great one to celebrate Pi(e) Day!
