Chocolate Mousse Pie

This pie had an amazing flavor! It was a little liquid-y; I may freeze it next time.

8 ounces Hershey's Special Dark chocolate
1/2 cup water, divided
2 tablespoons butter
3 egg yolks
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/4 cups whipping cream, whipped
1 chocolate pie crust

1. In a microwave, heat chocolate, 1/4 cup water and butter until the chocolate and butter are melted. Cool for 10 minutes.

2. In a small heavy saucepan, whisk egg yolks, sugar and remaining water. Cook and stir over low heat until mixture reaches 160 degrees F, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat; whisk in chocolate mixture.

3. Set saucepan in ice and stir until cooled, about 5-10 minutes. Fold in whipped cream. Spoon into crust. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
