Irish Chocolate Mousse Pie

When we lived in Ireland in the mid-eighties, desserts fell into the same category as beef: they both looked wonderful in the cases, but left much to be desired by an American's palate. The sweets were rarely sweet enough. The bakery items were beautifully presented but just needed some more sugar. I remember on a day trip we took when my parents were visiting, we stopped at a pastry shop, and my mom picked out what we thought were pastry-wrapped figs. It turned out they contained Irish sausage.
