Remove from heat and whisk in semisweet chocolate, bittersweet chocolate, butter and vanilla. Place plastic wrap directly on warm filling. Let stand 30 minutes. Spread filling over cooled crust. Place plastic wrap directly ever filling and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• To prepare mousse, microwave milk chocolate chips and 3 tablespoons heavy cream in a medium bowl at 50% power for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until melted, stirring at 30-second intervals. Let stand 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Beat 1 cup heavy cream and 2 tablespoons sugar at high speed with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gently fold half of whipped cream into milk chocolate mixture until blended and smooth. Fold in remaining whipped cream. Spread mousse over chocolate filling. Cover and chill 8 to 24 hours or until set.

CHOCOLATE LAYER PIE

Steps:

• 1. For the crust: Mix the flour, 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, melted butter and nuts. Pat into a 13x9 pan. Bake until edges start to brown.
• 2. For the cream cheese layer: With a mixer, combine the powdered sugar and cream cheese. Mix well. Fold in 8 oz whipped topping. Refrigerate until pudding layer is ready. Spread on top of the cooled crust.
• 3. For the pudding layer: In a medium size saucepan add the sugar, cocoa, corn starch, salt, butter, egg yolks and milk. Before heating, stir until well mixed (corn starch won't desolve in hot liquids). Cook on medium heat, whisking constantly, until pudding has thickened. Stir in vanilla. Place on top of cream cheese layer. Cool.
• 4. For the top layer: Top the pudding layer with 8 oz whipped topping. Sprinkle with finely chopped pecans. Cool 4 hours or over night before serving.

FOUR LAYER CHOCOLATE CREAM CHEESE PIE

Steps:

• Mix the crust ingredients, pack into bottom of a 9x13 baking pan, bake at 325 degrees for about 25 minutes (until crust is light brown). Cool completely.
• Beat together the powdered sugar, cool whip and cream cheese. Set aside.
• Beat together the chocolate pudding and milk, let it set up in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes. Make sure you only put 3 c milk, instead of the amount specified on the back of the pudding box.
• When crust is cool, spread white layer evenly over crust. I find this is easier if you spoon big dollops in many places over crust, as opposed to spooning it all out in one spot. That way the crust isn't as likely to crumble when you spread it evenly.
• Spread the chocolate mixture evenly over the cream cheese mixture.
• Spread cool whip evenly over the chocolate layer. I try to put about as much cool whip on top to be as thick as the other layers.
• Top with chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or anything else that sounds scrumptious.

• Meanwhile, make the milk chocolate layer by placing the milk chocolate, miniature marshmallows, milk, and salt into the top of a double boiler over medium heat. Stir until chocolate melts, and mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat, and stir in the vanilla. Allow to cool, stirring occasionally.

Spread the remaining chocolate whipped topping over the milk chocolate layer. Spoon the whipped topping over the chocolate topping. If desired, garnish with miniature chocolate chips.
