I was making a lemon pie, and I'm the type that craves a sweet thing with a sour thing together, so I made this pie as well.

When you make a chilled pie, I recommend to use homemade pie crust. Because it will stay flaky even when cold.
When you make the chocolate mousse, double the amount of gelatin if you like it to be firm. It's a fluffy mousse with this recipe. Please adjust to your liking. Recipe by Shioaji
