3. Place the crumbs into a 10-inch springform pan and press evenly over the bottom and half way up the sides.

4. Bake 10–12 minutes until set.

Chocolate Mousse Filling

1. Add the espresso powder to the warm water and mix well.
2. Place the melted chocolate, espresso, Kahlua, and egg yolks into a spacious bowl and mix until smooth.
3. Pour the cream into the bowl of your electric mixer and whip until it forms stiff peaks.
4. Pour the chocolate mixture into a spacious bowl and use a large wire whisk to fold in the whipped cream. Fold gently but thoroughly, until no streaks remain.
5. Pour the mixture into the springform pan, place plastic wrap over the surface and refrigerate for 4–6 hours or overnight.
6. Remove the mousse pie from the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving.
