Ingredients

• 10 ounces angel food cake
• 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup milk
• 1 packet plain gelatin
• 3 tablespoons hot water
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons chocolate shavings (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the angel food cake by slicing it into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 20-30 second intervals until fully melted, stirring each time. Let it cool slightly.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whip 1 1/2 cups of the heavy whipping cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Set aside.

Step 4

Sprinkle the gelatin over the hot water in a small bowl, stirring until dissolved. Let it cool slightly.

Step 5

In another bowl, combine the melted chocolate, milk, and cocoa powder. Gradually stir in the gelatin mixture until smooth.

Step 6

Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in two additions, gently mixing until fully incorporated to form the chocolate mousse.

Step 7

In a 9-inch pie dish, create a bottom layer by spreading half of the angel food cake cubes evenly across the dish.

Step 8

Spread half of the chocolate mousse over the angel food cake layer, ensuring even coverage.

Step 9

Repeat with a second layer of angel food cake cubes and the remaining chocolate mousse.

Step 10

In a separate bowl, whip the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form, then spread it over the top of the pie as the final layer.

Step 11

Optionally, garnish with chocolate shavings for a decorative touch.

Step 12

Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the layers to set. Serve chilled and enjoy!
