Ingredients

Pie Crust

  • 1 cup dates pitted
  • 1 cup pecans

Chocolate Mousse

  • 9 ounces dark chocolate
  • 6 ounces water

Decoration - optional

  • 9 raspberries
  • 9 blackberries

Instructions

  • First make the pecan-date crust by pulsing both in a food processor until it reaches a coarse consistency that will form a ball. You can pulse further until the pieces are smaller.
  • Grease a 6 inch pie pan or baking dish and press the pecan-date 'dough' onto the bottom and against the sides.
  • Place in the refrigerator while you make the chocolate mousse.
  • Make the chocolate mousse - the Herve This method (Molecular Gastronomy)
  • Prepare ice bath by filling a bowl with equal parts of ice cubes and water. Have another bowl ready that will fit into the one with the ice water.
  • In a saucepan heat water and finely chopped chocolate over medium-low heat and cook until melted.
  • Pour the chocolate into the empty bowl, while in the ice bath, whisk the chocolate by hand until the chocolate thickens into a mousse.
  • Transfer the mousse into the pie crust and allow the pie cool completely.
  • Serve with cream if you like (no longer dairy free) or with berries.

Notes

  1. The chocolate you have does not contain enough fat and does not become thicker.
    1. Melt the chocolate mixture again and add some more chocolate and whisk again.
  2. The chocolate mixture is not light enough
    1. Melt again and add some water and whisk again
  3. The chocolate mixture has become grainy
    1. Melt the mixture and whisk again. Do not add anything, just whisk a little shorter.
