  1. This was sweet, and rich (almost too much for me) but it made a lot of people at work very happy! I thought it was simple to put together but DEFINITELY took more than 30 minutes to prepare. Also I think that anyone making this might think about setting the pie, minus the chocolate mousse, out to soften a bit before serving, and then spreading the mousse over it before cutting it. When it's fresh from the fridge the caramel is really firm and a little hard to cut through.

I made this account back in 2001, when the site was called "Recipezaar". A lot has changed in my life since then. My kids are all grown and I try to eat a low-carb lifestyle now. Some of my older recipes were handed down from my grandmother. I hope you all enjoy them as much as I have. Current recipes that I post will mostly be low carb or keto.
