Time 8h35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (6 ounce) chocolate sandwich cookie crumb crust (such as an OREO® crust)
1 quart coffee ice cream
1 (12 ounce) package miniature chocolate chips
1 (12 ounce) jar hot fudge topping
½ (18 ounce) package crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, divided
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
¾ cup chocolate syrup

Steps:

  • Freeze the crust until firm, about 30 minutes. Place half the coffee ice cream into a bowl, and let it stand about 10 minutes to soften. Return remaining ice cream to the freezer. Mix softened ice cream with the mini chocolate chips. Spread the ice cream and chips in an even layer over the frozen crust. Cover with plastic wrap, and freeze for 2 hours.
  • Heat the topping in the microwave on low until warm and easy to pour, 30 seconds to 1 minute (do not let the sauce get very hot). Pour into a bowl. Set aside 2 tablespoons cookie crumbs for garnish; stir remaining cookie crumbs into the fudge topping. Remove the pie from the freezer, and layer the cookie crumbs and fudge topping mixture over the ice cream with chips. Cover with plastic wrap, and return to freezer for 2 hours.
  • Take the remaining frozen coffee ice cream out of the freezer, and allow to stand for about 10 minutes to soften. Layer the ice cream over the layer of cookie crumbs and fudge topping. Cover with plastic wrap, and return to freezer for 2 more hours.
  • Remove pie, and frost the top of the pie with the whipped topping. Top with the reserved cookie crumbs. Cover with plastic wrap, and return to freezer for 2 more hours to freeze the whipped topping layer. Cut the pie into serving pieces, and drizzle each serving with about 1 tablespoon of the chocolate syrup.

Provided by Rie McClenny

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!

SALTY PLUFF MUD PIE



Salty Pluff Mud Pie image

Community-supported agriculture takes many forms these days, but only in Charleston, S.C., will you find a C.S.A. for pie. Amy Robinette, who grew up in Spartanburg, S.C., is committed to adapting Southern desserts, which have often come to rely on supersweet and artificial ingredients, back to real food. In her kitchen, the chocolate chess pie her grandmother always made - filled with white sugar, evaporated milk, and cocoa powder - has been adapted to local ingredients. The pie gets its name from "pluff" mud, the sticky, sulfurous sediment that lines the bottom of the South Carolina tidal marshes; some say it is the true source of Lowcountry flavor. (Don't let making your own pie crust intimidate you: our pie guide has everything you need to know.)

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups/354 milliliters honey
4 1/2 tablespoons/32 grams dark cocoa powder
6 tablespoons/85 grams butter, cubed
3/4 cup/180 milliliters heavy cream
4 eggs
1 chilled, unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pan (see recipe)
2 tablespoons/30 milliliters milk
Flaky sea salt, for topping

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Combine honey, cocoa, butter and cream in a large heavy-bottom saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted and mixture is just starting to simmer.
  • Meanwhile, lightly beat 3 eggs in a medium bowl. Very slowly add 1/2 cup of hot honey mixture, whisking constantly. Pour tempered egg mixture back into the pot, whisking constantly to keep the eggs from scrambling. Continue to cook, stirring, until mixture is smooth and thick, 3 to 4 minutes; remove from heat.
  • Remove pie crust from refrigerator and flute edges. Whisk together remaining egg and the milk until well combined. Brush egg wash over edge of pie dough, making sure to cover the ins and outs of the fluting.
  • Pour filling into pie shell and lightly tap pie plate on the counter to release any air bubbles. Bake pie for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until filling is no longer soupy when jiggled. Allow pie to cool for at least 3 hours, then sprinkle with sea salt.

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.

Tips:

  • Chill the pie crust before baking. This will help prevent the crust from shrinking and becoming too hard.
  • Use a glass pie plate. This will allow you to see the layers of the pie as it bakes.
  • Don't overbeat the eggs. Overbeaten eggs will make the pie filling tough.
  • Use a double boiler to melt the chocolate. This will prevent the chocolate from scorching.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the pie to be easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Carolina Mud Pie is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate filling, creamy peanut butter layer, and fluffy whipped cream topping, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Whether you are a fan of chocolate, peanut butter, or both, you will love this pie. So next time you are looking for a special dessert to make, give Carolina Mud Pie a try.
