Passover Chocolate Mousse Pie is a classic dessert during Passover, a Jewish holiday that commemorates the Israelites' Exodus from Egypt. The dessert combines two traditional Passover ingredients: chocolate and matzo meal. The chocolate mousse filling is made with semi-sweet chocolate chips, eggs, and sugar, creating a luxurious and creamy texture. Whipped cream provides balance and accentuates the chocolate flavor. This dessert is ideal for Passover, but it is also perfect for any time you crave chocolate.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2.	Place the chocolate wafers in a resealable plastic bag and crush them into fine, crumbly pieces with a rolling pin or the bottom of a glass.
3.	In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed wafers and melted butter. Press the mixture evenly into a pie dish.
4.	Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, or until it just starts to turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool.
5.	In a small saucepan, combine the chocolate chips, water, and sugar. Heat on low, stirring frequently, until the mixture has melted and become smooth.
6.	In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy. Gradually stir in the melted chocolate mixture.
7.	Pour the chocolate mixture into the cooled crust. Let the pie set in the refrigerator for at least three hours.
8.	Serve with generously whipped cream on top.
