Categories     Desserts

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
30 chocolate wafer cookies, crushed
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
8 oz dark chocolate, 70-80% cacao, coarsely chopped
16 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 large eggs
1 cup all purpose flour
¾ cup granulated sugar
⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, not dutch-processed, plus more for garnish
⅓ cup all purpose flour
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 large egg yolks
2 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream, chilled

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan with nonstick spray and line the sides with a strip of parchment paper, trimming it flush with the top of the pan.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the cookie crumbs and melted butter until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Transfer the crumbs to the prepared pan and use the bottom of a measuring cup to press them into an even layer over the bottom of the pan. Set the pan aside while you make the brownie layer.
  • Make the brownie layer: In a large glass bowl, combine the chocolate and butter and microwave on high power, 30 seconds or until melted and smooth.
  • In a separate large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, vanilla, and eggs until lightened in color and foamy, about 1 minute. Pour in the melted chocolate mixture and whisk until smooth. Add the flour and stir until just combined.
  • Pour the batter over the crust in the pan and smooth out the top with a rubber spatula. Bake until a toothpick inserted halfway between the center and the edge comes out clean, about 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the pudding layer: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, flour, and salt until combined. Add the egg yolks and a splash of the milk and stir until it the mixture forms a thick, smooth paste. Add the remaining milk and whisk until smooth. Set the pan over medium heat and cook, stirring continuously, until the mixture starts to bubble and thicken, 8-10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, and add the butter and vanilla and stir until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  • When the brownie layer is ready, transfer the pan to a wire rack, pour the warm pudding over the brownie layer, and smooth out the top with a rubber spatula. Let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or up to 1 day.
  • When ready to serve, whisk the chilled cream in a medium bowl until it forms stiff peaks.
  • Remove the pie from the refrigerator. Remove the outer ring of the springform pan, then peel away and discard the strip of parchment paper and set the pie on a serving plate. Spread the whipped cream over the top of the pie, and dust with additional cocoa powder. Serve the pie chilled.
  • Enjoy!

½ teaspoon espresso powder3
½ cup hot water3
4 large eggs

1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
chocolate curls (optional)
chocolate syrup (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Add graham crackers to a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs.
  • Transfer to a bowl and make a well in the crumbs, pour the melted butter into the well and mix to combine. Add the sugar and stir until combined.
  • Press crust mix into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan5. Using a straight-edge glass will help with this.
  • Place the springform pan on a large baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
  • While crust is baking, melt the butter in the microwave on 30-second intervals until fully melted and add to a large mixing bowl.
  • Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring between each one until melted. Add to the mixing bowl along with the sugars, vanilla paste, and salt and whisk to combine.
  • Stir together the hot water and espresso powder and then add to the mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Whisk in the eggs one at a time, making sure no yolk is visible after each addition.
  • Whisk in the cocoa until fully incorporated. The mixture will be slightly runny.
  • Carefully pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust.
  • Carefully transfer to the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Make sure the springform pan is still on the baking sheet in the oven.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temperature ( about 1 to 2 hours). Once cooled, prepare your whipped cream by beating together the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a chilled metal bowl until soft peaks form. Then top the pie with the whipped cream recipe and chocolate and serve.6,7,8

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Chocolate crumb crust
1 1/2 cups chocolate wafer cookie crumbs
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the pie pan
1 tablespoon sugar
Filling
3 cups half-and-half
2/3 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cornstarch
4 large egg yolks
5 ounces high-quality bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons chocolate wafer crumbs, for garnish

Steps:

  • 1 Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly butter a 9-inch pie pan.
  • 2 To make the crust, combine the crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a medium bowl until moistened. Press firmly and evenly into the pie pan. Bake until the crust is set and smells like warm cookies, about 12 minutes. Cool completely.
  • 3 To make the filling, in a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat 2 1/2 cups of the half-and-half, the sugar, and the salt, stirring often to dissolve the sugar, until simmering. Pour into a heatproof bowl. Rinse out the saucepan.
  • 4 In a small bowl, sprinkle the cornstarch over the remaining 1/2 cup half-and-half and whisk until dissolved. Whisk the yolks in a medium bowl, and gradually whisk in the cornstarch mixture. Gradually whisk in the hot half-and-half mixture and return to the rinsed-out saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a flat wooden spatula (to keep the mixture from scorching), until it comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture bubble, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Remove from the heat, add the chocolate, butter, and vanilla, and whisk until the chocolate melts completely. Strain through a wire sieve into a clean bowl.
  • 5 Pour the filling into the cooled crust and press plastic wrap directly on the filling to keep a skin from forming. Let cool completely. Refrigerate until the filling is chilled and set, at least 2 hours.
  • 6 To make the topping, whip the cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla in a chilled medium bowl with an electric mixer set on high speed until stiff. Uncover the pie. Spread and swirl the topping over the filling. (If you wish, transfer the whipped cream to a pastry bag fitted with a star tip, and pipe the cream onto the pie.) Sprinkle pie with cookie crumbs. Slice and serve chilled.

MUD PIE



Mud Pie image

This dessert, while really sophisticated but oh-so-very-good, is a godsend, in all sorts of ways. First of all, this recipe makes two pies, one of which you can store in the freezer, all ready to serve whenever you need it. Second, the pies are simple to make. Finally, in just this one dessert are three things most of us love when it comes to treats: Oreos, coffee ice cream and fudge sauce. What could be better than that?

Categories     dessert

Yield Makes two 9-inch pies

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound Oreo cookies, crushed
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
5 to 6 pints coffee ice cream, softened
10 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon strong brewed coffee (instant is fine)

Steps:

  • Combine the crushed Oreos and melted butter in a large bowl with a fork. Press the mixture evenly into two 9-inch pie plates.
  • Spread the softened coffee ice cream into the pies over the crusts so that you have at least 1 1/2 inches of ice cream. Place in the freezer.
  • Combine the fudge topping ingredients in a medium-size heavy saucepan. Stir over low heat until completely melted and combined. Remove from the heat and let cool.
  • When the ice cream is really solid (about 3 hours or overnight), pour the frudge topping evenly over each pie. Wrap with plastic wrap and freeze again until the topping is solid. To store them after they are frozen, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then aluminmum foil to keep them fresh.
