CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE
Duff Goldman knows better than anyone that kids can do incredible things in the kitchen. In eight seasons judging and hosting Kids Baking Championship, he has seen contestants as young as 9 tackle tricky macarons and towering Napoleons. So when he started writing a kids baking book, Duff didn't take the easy way out. "I wanted recipes that would really challenge and excite them," he says. In Super Good Baking for Kids, he encourages young chefs to measure by weight, as professional bakers do, and to attempt not-so-basic projects like churros, pies and pâte à choux. Some of the recipes, like Rainbow Unicorn Brownies, are inspired by kids on the show, and others are just Duff favorites, like chocolate cream pie. "There's nothing that sounds more delicious than those three words!" Duff says.

Steps:
- Make the crust: In the bowl of a food processor with a blade attachment, pulse the cookies until you get cookie crumbs. Put the crumbs in a medium bowl, add the melted butter and toss with a fork to combine. Press the cookies into a 9-inch pie pan and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until you're ready to use it, whichever comes second.
- Make the ganache: Put the chocolate chips in a medium bowl and set aside. Pour the cream into a small saucepan and, over medium-high heat, bring the cream to a boil. Turn off the heat and pour the cream over the chocolate. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let it sit for 3 minutes. Remove the towel and whisk the ganache until it's shiny. Pour half of the ganache into the pie crust and spread evenly all the way up the sides. Pour the rest of the ganache into a piping bag and set aside at room temperature.
- Make the chocolate whipped cream: In a medium bowl using a rubber spatula, blend the cream cheese, powdered sugar and cocoa powder together until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the heavy cream and whisk until medium-stiff peaks form. (Make sure it doesn't get too stiff.) Place the whipped cream in the fridge until you're ready to use it. In another medium bowl, whisk together the instant pudding and the milk until it thickens. Using a rubber spatula, fold half of the chocolate whipped cream into the bowl of pudding. Return both bowls of creamy pudding and remaining whipped cream to the fridge.
- Make the filling: In a microwave-safe bowl with the microwave on high, heat the chocolate chips in 10-second increments, stirring each time, until they're all melted. Add the cream cheese and sugar and mix together.
- Finish the pie: Take the pie crust from the refrigerator. Using an offset metal spatula, spread the pie filling evenly into the pie crust. Return the pie crust and filling to the fridge for 15 minutes to set. Take the filled pie crust and the pudding-and-whipped-cream mixture from the fridge. Spread the mixture evenly over the pie filling. Refrigerate for another 8 to 10 minutes.
- Remove the pie from the fridge and spread the remaining chocolate whipped cream over the pie. Spray canned whipped topping all over the pie in a fun design. Pipe the remaining ganache all over the pie (optional). Top with the chopped Oreos, shaved chocolate (shaved from a bar with a vegetable peeler) and chocolate sprinkles. Wake up in 30 years from the deliciousness of your chocolate coma.

Steps:
- First, make the base. Blitz the biscuits to fine crumbs in a food processor, or tip into a sandwich bag and bash with a rolling pin. Add the melted butter and pulse to combine. Tip into a 22cm pie dish and press into the base and up the side using the back of a spoon. Keep chilled.
- Tip the sugar and milk into a medium saucepan over low-medium heat, and whisk until the milk is steaming and the sugar has dissolved. Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks and cornflour together in a bowl to make a smooth paste.
- Add a few spoonfuls of the hot milk to the yolk mixture, whisking to loosen. Slowly whisk this back into the saucepan of hot milk. Continue to whisk until the mixture begins to thicken to a custard-like consistency, about 3-5 mins.
- Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the butter, dark chocolate and vanilla until the chocolate and butter have melted and the mixture is completely smooth. Pour this over the chilled base and smooth the surface with a spatula. Cover with a circle of baking parchment to prevent a skin forming and chill until set (about 3-4 hrs). Will keep chilled for up to 24 hrs.
- Just before you're ready to serve, whip the cream, icing sugar and vanilla together to soft peaks using an electric whisk. Spoon this over the middle of the pie and gently spread to the edge using the back of the spoon. Sprinkle with chocolate shavings. Or, you could also try sprinkling with crushed candy cane pieces for a mint-chocolate flavour.

Steps:
- Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 10x16-inch rimmed sheet pan with 1 tablespoon room-temperature butter and set aside.
- Place the Oreos in the bowl of a food processor and pulverize until fine. Add the melted butter and continue to process until the crumbs hold together when squeezed, about five (1-second) pulses. Turn the cookie crumbs out onto the prepared sheet pan and, with the bottom of a measuring cup, press them to the edges of the prepared pan in an even layer. (Don't worry about working the crumbs up the sides of the pan.) Bake the crust until it is set, about 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Add the chocolate and 1 1/4 cups cream to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely melted, about 1 1/2 minutes. Whisk until glossy and smooth. Whisk in the remaining tablespoon of room-temperature butter and pour the chocolate mixture over the baked crust, spreading it evenly with an offset spatula. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the filling is completely set, about 2 hours.
- Combine the remaining 1 1/4 cups cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla in a medium-size bowl. Beat with a handheld mixer or a whisk (or using a stand mixer fitted with a whisk) at medium-high speed until the mixture forms stiff peaks. Spread the cream over the chocolate filling. Slice into 20 bars and serve. The bars will keep in an airtight container (or in the sheet pan covered with plastic wrap) in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Tips:
- For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate or semisweet chocolate instead of milk chocolate.
- If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can brown the meringue by placing the pie under the broiler for a few minutes. Just be sure to watch it closely so that it doesn't burn.
- For a creamier filling, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- If you don't have a pie crust, you can use a graham cracker crust or a store-bought pie crust.
- To make the pie ahead of time, bake the crust and filling according to the recipe. Then, let the pie cool completely and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, top the pie with the meringue and brown it with a kitchen torch or under the broiler.
Conclusion:
Chocolate cream pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor, creamy filling, and fluffy meringue topping, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give chocolate cream pie a try.
