Chocolate Mousse Pie

1 pkg Baker's Semi-Sweet chocolate (8 squares)
1/4 cup water
8 eggs, separated
1-1/2 tsp. vanilla
2/3 cup sugar

Butter a 9" pie plate, sprinkle with sugar. Melt chocolate with water in saucepan over very low heat, stirring until smooth. Stir in egg yolks; add vanilla. Beat egg whites, gradually adding sugar until mixture forms stiff peaks. Stir a small amount into chocolate mixture, then fold chocolate mixture into remaining meringue mixture. Pour 4 cups into pie plate. Chill remaining mixture.

Bake mixture in pie plate at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until just set. Cool slightly; chill 1 hour. (Center will fall, forming shell.) Spoon chilled mixture into shell. Chill at least 3 hours. Garnish with cranberries and mint.

I made this mousse when I was in High School for Christmas! I absolutely love chocolate mousse and it turned out so delicious! I can't wait to try it again!
