Waitress – Chocolate Mousse Pie

Jenna Hunterson is a small-town Southern waitress who has an extraordinary talent for creating delicious pies. They could be award-winning pies if it weren’t for her immature and controlling husband, Earl, who allows no freedom in her life and forces Jenna to give him all of the money she makes waitressing.

Jenna’s dream is to leave Earl and make pies for a living, and hopes to do so by winning a pie contest which offers a $25,000 prize. But Earl won’t let her enter, leaving her no way to escape her dreadful marriage. Overwhelmed by distraught and anger, Jenna’s world takes an unexpected turn when she discovers she is pregnant with Earl’s baby, the absolute last thing she could ever want.

“I don’t want no baby, I just want to make pies.”

She doesn’t want a baby, but her pregnancy changes her life as she begins an affair with her handsome (and married) gynecologist, Dr. Pometter, giving her confidence, a sex life, and a second chance at happiness.

With names like “Fallin’ in Love Chocolate Mousse Pie,” or “I Can’t Have No Affair Because it’s Wrong and I Don’t Want Earl to Kill me Pie” it’s easy to see how they can be irresistible. But for this recipe, we went with the one that sounded the most decadent. Test your pie-making skills with this rich Chocolate Mousse Pie recipe!
