Categories     Bakery Goods

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1 package chocolate sandwich cookie
¼ cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
⅓ cup hot water
2 ½ tablespoons dark cocoa powder
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups Godiva® Signature Collection Dark Chocolate Mini Bars, chopped
3 cups heavy cream, cold, divided
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 bar Godiva® Signature Collection Dark Chocolate Mini Bars, cut into 10 squares
1 bar Godiva® Signature Collection Dark Chocolate Mini Bars

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray.
  • Make the crust: Add the chocolate sandwich cookies and granulated sugar to a food processor and process into fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse 4 times, or until the crumbs are moistened.
  • Press the crust mixture evenly against the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan, leaving ½ inch of space from the top of the pan.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, until the crust begins to puff slightly. Remove from the oven and transfer to the refrigerator to chill for 25-30 minutes.
  • Make the filling: In a small bowl, whisk together the hot water, cocoa powder, and vanilla until smooth.
  • In a medium, microwavable-safe bowl, combine the chopped Godiva® Signature Collection Dark Chocolate Mini Bars and ¼ cup of heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals until melted, 1 minute total. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
  • Add the cocoa mixture to the bowl of melted chocolate and whisk to combine.
  • In a large bowl, whip the remaining 2¾ cups of heavy cream with an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 5 minutes. Transfer 1⅓ cups of whipped cream to a separate bowl and set aside.
  • Add the granulated sugar and salt to the bowl with the remaining whipped cream and whip on low speed for 30 seconds, until fully combined. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the chocolate mixture, ⅓ at a time, until incorporated and smooth. With the hand mixer, beat once more for 30 seconds to stiffen.
  • Remove the crust from the refrigerator and pour the filling evenly on top. Freeze for 1 hour, until the filling is firm.
  • Meanwhile, add the powdered sugar to the reserved whipped cream and whip on low speed until smooth, 1 minute. Transfer the whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with an open star tip and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Remove the pie from the freezer and pipe 10 dollops of whipped cream around the edges. Place a square of Godiva® Signature Collection Dark Chocolate Mini Bar on each of the whipped cream dollops.
  • Cut the pie into 6-8 slices and use a vegetable peeler to shave curls of the remaining Godiva® Signature Collection Dark Chocolate Mini Bar on top of each slice.
  • Enjoy!

CHOCOLATE ICEBOX PIE



Chocolate Icebox Pie image

Came across this recipe in a magazine a few years ago....since then it has become a family favorite.

Provided by Macrayla Evans

Categories     Chocolate

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2/3 c milk
3/4 c semisweet chocolate morsels
1/4 c cold water
2 Tbsp cornstarch
14 oz sweetened condensed milk
3 large eggs, beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 Tbsp butter
6 oz ready-made chocolate crumb piecrust
1 c whipping cream
1/4 c sugar
1/2 c chopped pecans, toasted
2 Tbsp melted butter
1 (1.55-ounce) hershey milk chocolate candy bar, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Heat milk until it just begins to bubble around the edges in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat (do not boil). Remove from heat, and whisk in chocolate morsels until melted. Cool slightly.
  • 2. Stir together cold water and cornstarch until dissolved.
  • 3. Whisk cornstarch mixture, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, and vanilla into chocolate mixture. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly. Boil 1 minute or until mixture thickens and is smooth. (Do not overcook.) ***Should be the consistency of thick pudding.
  • 4. Remove from heat, and whisk in 3 tablespoons of butter. Spoon mixture into pie crust. Cover and chill at least 8 hours.
  • 5. To toast pecans, heat oven to 350 deg., melt 2 tablespoons butter, place pecans on a parchment lined baking sheet, drizzle the melted butter over the pecans (stir them up a little to coat), place in oven for 5 minutes. Cool completely before using.
  • 6. For the whipped cream: It helps if you use a metal bowl and the equipment is cold -- put the beaters and bowl in the freezer before using. Beat whipping cream at high speed with an electric mixer until foamy; gradually add sugar, beating until soft peaks form. Spread whipped cream evenly over pie filling, and sprinkle with toasted pecans and candy bar pieces.

Tips:

  • To ensure a creamy and smooth texture, use good quality chocolate and heavy cream. Opt for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% for a rich flavor.
  • Bring the cream to a simmer, not a boil, to prevent the chocolate from seizing.
  • Make sure the chocolate is finely chopped or grated before adding it to the cream. This helps it melt evenly and quickly.
  • Stir the chocolate and cream mixture constantly until it is smooth and glossy. Avoid over-stirring, as this can cause the chocolate to seize.
  • If the chocolate mixture starts to seize, remove it from the heat and stir vigorously until it smooths out. Alternatively, you can add a small amount of warm cream.
  • Let the chocolate mixture cool slightly before adding the whipped cream. This helps prevent the whipped cream from melting.
  • Use a whisk or electric mixer to whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks. This ensures that the pie has a light and airy texture.
  • Layer the pie in a graham cracker crust. This provides a sturdy base for the pie and adds a delicious crunchy texture.
  • Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly.
  • Garnish the pie with grated chocolate, whipped cream, or fresh berries before serving.

Conclusion:

This classic chocolate icebox pie is a delightful dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy chocolate filling and crunchy graham cracker crust, this pie is sure to be a hit. The best part about this pie is that it is no-bake, making it a quick and easy dessert to prepare. Whether you are a chocolate lover or just looking for a refreshing summer treat, this chocolate icebox pie is the perfect choice.
