Yield: One 9-inch pie or tart

3 cups Almond Crust or Walnut Crust (recipes found in this chapter)
2 cups Chocolate Mousse (recipe found in Mousses, Puddings, And Sweet Sauces chapter)
1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced

Equipment:
measuring cups
pie plate, or tart pan with removable bottom, 9-inch
rubber spatula
cutting board
paring knife

Scoop the crust into a pie plate or tart pan. Use a light circular motion with your palm and fingers to distribute the crumbs uniformly along the bottom and up the sides of the pan. There should be a 3/4-inch lip of crumbs along the sides. After the crumbs are evenly distributed, press the crust down on the bottom of the pan using your fingers and palm. Be sure to press especially firmly where the bottom of the pan joins the sides. Then press the crust against the pan’s sides, shaping it so that the edges are flush with the rim. Put the crust in the freezer for 15 minutes.

Remove the crust from the freezer and spread the mousse over the bottom. Arrange the strawberries on top of the mousse. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Covered with plastic wrap and stored in the refrigerator, Chocolate Pie or Tart with Strawberries will keep for 3 days.

Chocolate Pie or Tart with Raspberries: Replace the strawberries with 2 cups of fresh raspberries.
