Cupcakes revenge's Thoughts

Coconut mousse in a decadent chocolate crust!

I don't really know what a Mississippi mud pie is. The one time I went to eat one, they took way too long and we had to cancel the order to get where we needed to be on time.

But my friend in passing mentioned it was chocolate and coconut pie. I don't know if that's right, but it sounded pretty tasty.

I've been thinking about it for a while. My plans had to change a bit on account of my lack of nuts and agave.

5 out of 5

I just made this yesterday and wow!!! It was first, very easy to make and most importantly tasted amazing!! I did double the mousse recipe to fill my tart pans and then I added Vietnemese Cinnamin. yummm!! The mousse set up real quick and had a great texture. I love the crust, I will definitely use the crust for other mousses and desserts. I served my tarts with ginger ice kream. My SAD friends loved this dessert! A must try! :)
