Time 9h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ cups crushed chocolate wafer cookies
¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup butter, softened
¼ cup cold water
1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
1 cup milk
3 egg yolks, lightly beaten
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 egg whites
1 cup heavy whipping cream
⅔ cup crushed peppermint candy
½ (1 ounce) square bittersweet chocolate, grated

Steps:

  • Stir crushed chocolate wafer crumbs, 1/4 cup white sugar, and softened butter together in a bowl. Press into an 8-inch pie plate. Refrigerate until set, at least 15 minutes.
  • Pour water into a bowl and sprinkle gelatin over the top; let sit until gelatin softens, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat until bubbling. Beat egg yolks and 1/2 cup white sugar together in a bowl. Pour hot milk into egg yolk mixture in a steady stream, whisking constantly. Return egg mixture to saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens slightly, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Stir gelatin mixture into egg-yolk mixture until gelatin melts and custard is well-combined; cool to room temperature. Stir in peppermint extract and vanilla extract.
  • Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks.
  • Beat heavy cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl until medium-soft peaks form. Fold egg whites and whipped cream into custard. Pour custard into prepared crust. Sprinkle with crushed peppermint candy and grated chocolate. Chill pie in the refrigerator until set, 8 hours to overnight.

Categories     Dessert

Time 5h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
3 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup crushed peppermint candies
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 cup whipping (heavy) cream
3 tablespoons sugar
Red food color

Steps:

  • Sprinkle gelatin on cold water to soften.
  • Mix eggs, 1/4 cup sugar, the candies and salt in 2-quart saucepan. Gradually stir in milk. Cook over medium heat 7 to 10 minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and just begins to boil; remove from heat.
  • Stir in softened gelatin until dissolved. Place saucepan in ice and water about 15 minutes or in refrigerator about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture mounds when dropped from spoon. (If mixture is too thick, place saucepan in warm water; stir mixture until smooth. Refrigerate about 10 minutes or until mixture mounds when dropped from spoon.)
  • Beat whipping cream and 3 tablespoons sugar in chilled medium bowl with electric mixer on high until stiff. Fold gelatin mixture into whipped cream. Gently fold in a few drops food color just until streaked with color. Pour into 4-quart mold. Cover and refrigerate 5 hours or until set. Quickly dip mold into hot water; unmold on serving plate. Immediately refrigerate any remaining bavarian after serving.

Tips:

  • For the perfect graham cracker crust, use a combination of graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • When making the Bavarian cream filling, be sure to use heavy cream that is at least 35% fat. This will help the filling set properly.
  • To make sure the gelatin dissolves completely, sprinkle it over the hot milk and whisk until dissolved. Do not boil the milk, as this will cause the gelatin to lose its thickening power.
  • When folding the whipped cream into the Bavarian cream filling, do so gently to avoid deflating the whipped cream.
  • For a smooth and creamy filling, strain the Bavarian cream filling through a fine-mesh sieve before pouring it into the pie crust.
  • To prevent the pie from cracking, chill it for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.
  • Garnish the pie with fresh mint leaves or whipped cream before serving.

Conclusion:

Peppermint Bavarian cream pie is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy filling, chocolate ganache, and minty flavor, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
