CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE



Chocolate Cream Pie image

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.

Time 1h30m

Yield One 9-inch chocolate cream pie

Number Of Ingredients 17

25 Oreo cookies
6 tablespoons (85 grams) unsalted butter, melted
8 ounces (227 grams) semisweet chocolate chips
8 ounces (227 grams) heavy cream
4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese, at room temperature
1/3 cup (40 grams) powdered sugar
2 tablespoons (12 grams) cocoa powder
1 cup (225 grams) heavy cream
1 3.4-ounce box (96 grams) instant chocolate pudding
1 cup (240 grams) whole milk
4 ounces (112 grams) bittersweet chocolate chips
8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese
1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
6 1/2-ounce can whipped cream topping
10 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
Shaved white, milk and/or dark chocolate
Chocolate sprinkles

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.

BASIC CREAM PIE FILLING



Basic Cream Pie Filling image

This recipe came from a lady from Kaysville, Utah who came to our women's group to teach us how to make pies. All I can remember is that she was called the Pie Lady. This pie will make any kind of cream pie but I particularly like the banana cream variation. This makes enough for two pies.

Provided by Kathy

Categories     Pie

Time 30m

Yield 2 pies, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 cups milk
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 (3 ounce) package jello brand pudding (this cannot be the instant kind)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (if making any kind except chocolate)
1/2 cup cornstarch

Steps:

  • Whisk all of your ingredients together in a pan.
  • Cook on high until it is almost to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to medium and take off when it has started to boil again.
  • Cool thoroughly with plastic wrap placed directly on top of filling.
  • Spoon into 2 pre-baked and cooled pie shells.
  • Note: Use the flavor of jello pudding to correspond to the pie you are making, banana for banana cream, chocolate for chocolate cream etc. Sliced bananas, coconut, grated chocolate etc. can be added to the filling or the bottom of the shells before adding cream filling.
  • Bonus note: Mix 1 cup Coolwhip with 1 pint of whipping cream after whipping to stabilize the cream. It will taste like fresh cream and will not get watery. You can cover your cream pies in this whipping cream and it will stay nice for as long as the pie lasts.

OLD FASHIONED CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE



Old Fashioned Chocolate Cream Pie image

This recipe was given to me by a neighbor when I was a young bride 47 years ago. I have passed it on to my daughter-in-law, and it is a favorite of her five brothers and sister. Warning: The filling is very rich, almost gooey--that's what makes it so good. You can mix the filling ingredients in the standard way for cream pies and cook them over low heat, stirring constantly as I did until microwaves were invented. Now, I prefer to cook mine in the microwave.(I do not have lumps in microwaved cream pies as I sometimes do when I use the standard cooking method).

Provided by BDH9556

Categories     Pie

Time 50m

Yield 1 pie, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups sugar
6 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3 egg yolks (beaten)
1/4 cup butter (or 2 Tbs works)
1 cooked pastry shells
3 egg whites (reserved above)
6 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Whisk dry ingredients with milk in a large glass heat-proof bowl and cook on high in the microwave.
  • Whisk every 3 or 4 minutes.
  • Separate eggs and beat egg yolks in a medium bowl while the liquid cooks.
  • When the liquid begins to thicken, wisk ladle-fulls of the hot liquid into the beaten egg yolks.
  • Strain the egg mixture back into the microwave bowl, whisking again to keep it smooth.
  • Continue to microwave until the filling begins to look sort of "cakey" around the edges.
  • Whisk to return it to the creamy texture.
  • After cooking it this way once, you will become accustomed to consistency and appearance at certain stages.
  • When the pie filling is quite thick, remove it from the microwave and add butter and vanilla.
  • Pour into the baked pie crust and cover with meringue.
  • Prepare meringue while the filling cools: Beat egg whites until "peak" stage.
  • Add sugar gradually, beating constantly.
  • Add vanilla.
  • Spread meringue on pie and bake in a 400° oven 8 to 10 minutes until the meringue has toasty peaks.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your pie filling. Look for a semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overcook the pudding: Overcooked pudding will be thick and rubbery. Cook it just until it has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Let the pie filling cool completely before assembling the pie: This will help to prevent the pie from becoming runny.
  • Use a stabilized whipped cream: A stabilized whipped cream will hold its shape better than regular whipped cream. This is important for pies that will be served at room temperature or in warm weather.

Conclusion:

Chocolate cream pie is a classic dessert that is always a hit with chocolate lovers. With its rich, creamy filling and flaky crust, it's the perfect pie for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make a chocolate cream pie that is sure to impress your family and friends.
