with whipped cream and chopped nuts on top. Here’s a simple recipe for making it:
### Ingredients:
#### For the crust:
– 1 ½ cups crushed biscuits (such as digestive or graham crackers)
– ¼ cup melted butter
#### For the chocolate mousse filling:
– 200g dark chocolate (milk chocolate can be used for a milder taste)
– 2 cups heavy whipping cream
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– ½ cup powdered sugar
– 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (optional for a richer chocolate flavor)
#### For the topping:

### Instructions:
1. **Prepare the crust**:
– Mix the crushed biscuits with the melted butter until well combined.
– Press the mixture into the base of a pie tin to form the crust.
– Place the tin in the fridge for about 30 minutes to allow the crust to set.
2. **Prepare the chocolate mousse**:
– Melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler or microwave carefully, and let it cool slightly.
– In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the vanilla and powdered sugar, and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
– Slowly fold the whipped cream into the melted chocolate until the mixture is smooth and mousse-like.
– Pour the mousse over the chilled crust and smooth out the top.
3. **Topping**:
– Spread an extra layer of whipped cream on top.
– Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the whipped cream.
4. **Chilling**:
