Aces (Frozen Chocolate Mousse Pie) image

I have been using this recipe from the Best of Bridge series for many years. With a pecan chocolate wafer crust, creamy chocolate mousse filling, this frozen dessert is perfect for those easy, casual entertaining. This recipe could be cut in half and placed in 2 smaller springform pans. The recipe needs freezer time, so give yourself enough time to play
