National Pi Day

Every March 14, mathematics enthusiasts from all over the globe commemorate Pi Day and the International Day of Mathematics (IDM). The day aims to raise awareness about the importance of mathematics and its role in shaping our world and promote the relevance of mathematics to a broader audience.
In basic mathematics, pi is used to find the area and circumference of a circle. Pi can be used to find an area by multiplying the radius of the circle squared times pi. So, to find the area of a circle with a radius of 3 centimeters, the calculation would be π3^2 = 28.27 cm.

Bittersweet Chocolate Mousse Pie

Cook's Notes: It is a decadent pie that took a lot of willpower to pass on a second slice.  It was one of the easiest pies I've ever made. Lots of ways to customize your pie, including Oreo Cookie or graham cracker crust, semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips, Amaretto or Bailey's Irish Cream, adding mint flavoring, and topping the pie with crushed cookie crumbs or chocolate sprinkles. This is a great addition to your holiday cooking as it can be made a day before a get-together. Be sure to use good quality chips, e.g. Ghirardelli.
The recipe from cooks.com is below. I have made my customizations, and note that the ingredient list is not lengthy.

Filling Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 3/4 of one 10 oz. bag Bittersweet Chocolate Chips
• 1-1/2 cups milk (I used 2%)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar
• 3 tablespoons Bailey's Irish Cream

Oreo Pie Crust Ingredients:

• 2 rows of cookies from a regular package of Oreo cookies
• 2-1/2 tablespoons melted butter

Directions:

• Use a food processor and crush the cookies. Place the crumbs in a bowl and mix in melted butter. Press crumbs into a glass pie pan and pat firmly into dish.
• Chill in the freezer.
• Combine 1/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, and chips in a medium saucepan. Gradually whisk milk into the chocolate mixture over medium heat until the mixture boils, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minute add in Baileys. Whisk to mix and transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap. Cool to room temperature.
• In a small bowl, whip the cream. Add confectioner's sugar and beat until stiff.
• Fold whipped cream into the chocolate mixture. Spoon into prepared crust. Refrigerate several hours.
