Christopher Columbus is known for his discovery of the Americas. It was a surprise to him and everyone else. It was definitely unexpected, but had both good and bad consequences. Similarly, in the cooking world there are hundreds if not thousands of websites full of recipes and cookbook after cookbook. Once in awhile I discover a new recipe that I have to try. This particular dish was one of those instances. It is called Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake Pie and once I saw it on a cooking blog I view I knew I had to make it. So when my in-laws came over for dinner and dessert the other night I decided this would be our dessert. It took awhile to make since it is 4 layers including the crust, but man was it worth it. This pie had a little piece of heaven in every bite. Everyone who had it loved it and could not stop raving about it. It was so good, my husband and I decided it would become a Christmas tradition for us and we'll have it on Christmas Eve for years to come. It was certainly a worthwhile discovery and had many positive outcomes with it. However, it also has one negative effect--the calories. For every bite of this pie a person will need to run a mile. Ok that may be exaggerating, but to some extent it's true. This pie is full of calories, but for some people that may be a plus as well. I guess it all depends on you and what you do. I, however, think in both Columbus' case and mine the good consequences outweigh the bad and both have made me a very happy person. Everyone though has to try this pie sometime in their life because not discovering it for yourself will be a big mistake, which you will not want to make.
