I made this pie for my family party. By the time the frist ten people were through the line my pie was gone. This pie has a lot of choclate in it. Next year for the party im going to make 2 or 3 pies because of how fast everyone eat the pie. Paula you made one of the best pie i ever tasted in my life. Trust me if you like sweet treats you should make this pie.

I was very disappointed with the results of this pie...Now, I pretty much followed the recipe however the only thing I changed was the quantity of powdered sugar as I thought that quantity was outrageous! The mousse didn't settle nor did it get fluffy like it did or was shown on her cooking episode. I was so looking forward to baking this pie...
I am not sure what I did was wrong? I have tried her other dessert recipes and never had this bad moment.

I thought this pie was delicious. I wish I could have gotten mine to look like Paula's though because she made it look so easy and delicious. I will definitely try it again.

I love chocolate mousse but it was still a tad sweet even when I cut the sugar down to 1 and a 1/2 cup, so for those who can't handle sweet you might want to consider using only half a cup or a little less than a cup.

Hubby really liked this dessert. I added less sugar and less whipped cream than called for. I was nervous as to how sweet this may be. The flavor was good. I did not add he liquour, but added more cream instead. Had no problem folding the chocolate into the cream. Good texture. Will make again.

My 5-year-old son and I watched Paula make this on her show recently. Afterwards, he said, "I think I am gonna fall in love with that pie!" I decided to make it for our book club meeting this month, and had never whipped cream before, so I tested it out a few days ahead of time. I found this pie very easy to make and whipping cream to be easy with a hand mixer. On the show, Paula's mixture was speckled, so when the chocolate didn't incorporate to a smooth solid color, I didn't worry about it... It looks better speckled, anyway. I made sure to let the chocolate cool off before adding it to the whipped cream, as some of you recommended (to avoid a milkshake. The first time through, it made two smaller pies, using the shallow pie crust pans you find in the in the freezer section. I did semi-sweet chocolate ribbons on top, thinking it would look prettier. This is why I titled this, "Paula knows best." The pie needed more chocolate flavor, so the next time I put the semi-sweet chocolate chips on top like Paula tells you to do, and it was FANTASTIC! I also added some extra chocolate chips and heavy cream to the chocolate mixture just to have extra chocolate flavor. I did it in the Anchor Hocking glass pan and was able to use the entire filling in one giant pie. The girls at book club LOVED it. My kids love it so much that tonight, after eating a slice, my son said that the first thing he was going to do in the morning was marry the pie.

This is an easy, huge pie to make and great for a light summer dessert. LIke many of the others here, I also had trouble with the chocolate mixture being too thick to fold into the whipped cream. I think Nancy from Fla has the right idea about reserving some of the cream to wisk into the melted chocolate. I didn't find the filling too sweet, and I couldn't taste the chocolate liqueur at all. I did find the crust boring and tasteless. Next time I will make a graham cracker crust or a chocolate cookie crust. With these modifications, I think it will be an outstanding pie, so I will give this recipe five stars.

love Paula and love this recipe! I did modify some - I halved the recipe except for the chocolate chips which I used 3/4. I also used regular milk for making the chocolate sauce and barely heated it - just enough to heat the milk slightly then I whisked the mixture until the chips melted. This made it extra smooth and creamy and only took a few minutes to cool enough to add to the whipped cream. I would also probably use less sugar for the whipped cream next time. We initially froze the pie as Paula did but my hubby liked it better after we let it thaw in the fridge. will definitely make again.

My mouth was watering watching this episode, but when I tried it I was bummed. It is just way too sweet. I'd cut the powdered sugar down to 1 cup, if not 1/2 cup. I like mousse pie because it's not super sweet. My teeth hurt after eating this! And you could leave out the liquor all together, I think it added a goofy taste, not a true chocolate taste.
As for the review that said she had nothing but a milk shake when blending the heavy cream.. you have to beat it for a VERY long time. At least 20 minutes to get a nice thick mixture. Make sure you are using "heavy" whipping cream, not just whipping cream. It makes a difference.
I'm still a fan Paula!! Your Gooey Pumpkin Cake is still my all time favorite!
