VLOG: a no-bake vanilla mousse pie

Psst!  Wanna know something?  I love dinner parties.  Actually, I like cooking parties better.  The cooking party happens before the dinner party, so the dinner party is sort of like an after party?  Regardless, they are both fun parties.  Whenever you get invited to a cooking/dinner party, don't you always feel like you should bring something?  It's so easy to buy a bottle of wine but if you want to do something just as easy and has that wow factor, you should make this pie and share it!  This pie only has 10 minutes of baking tops!  A little mixing of ingredients is all you need to prepare this pie.    The hardest part is the waiting, of course, because the no-bake filling of this pie (i.e. the mousse) needs ample time in the fridge to set.  Desserts made with love take time, and luckily with this dessert you can do other things with your time while it does its thing in the fridge on its own time!  Watch the vlog and I'll show you how...
