Step 2

Make the cinnamon graham cracker crust: In a food processor, combine the graham crackers and McCormick® Ground Cinnamon. Process for 2 minutes, or until the crackers are completely ground. With the processor running, pour in the melted butter and continue blending until fully incorporated and the crumbs are moistened, about 3 minutes. Press the crumbs into the bottom of the pan in an even layer. Freeze for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the chocolate mousse: In a small bowl, combine the gelatin powder and cold water and stir until solid. Pour in the boiling water over and stir until the gelatin has dissolved. Let sit until ready to use.

Step 4

Add ½ cup of the heavy cream to a small saucepan and warm over medium heat until steaming, about 5 minutes. Add the chocolate chips to a medium bowl. Once the heavy cream is hot, pour over the chocolate chips and let it sit for 3–5 minutes, then stir until melted and smooth.

In a large bowl, combine the remaining 2 cups of cream, the sugar, vanilla, and salt. Using an electric hand mixer, whip on medium speed until medium peaks form, 5–7 minutes. Add the cocoa powder and continue to whip until stiff peaks form, 3–4 minutes more. Pour in the gelatin mixture and whip for another minute on high speed, until well-incorporated.
