Provided by Tori Avey

Categories     Dessert

Time 8h15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/3 cups graham cracker crumbs
5 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup + 2 tbsp granulated sugar, divided
1/8 tsp salt
5 tbsp flour
1 3/4 squares unsweetened chocolate
12 oz evaporated milk or ½ cup heavy whipping cream ((1 can))
2 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
2 cups small marshmallows
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Semisweet chocolate for grating
2 tbsp chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a small mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, butter, and sugar. Stir to blend ingredients until all crumbs are evenly moistened by the butter.
  • Pat the graham cracker mixture evenly into a pie plate or dish using the back of a spoon, covering the bottom and sides of the dish completely to form a crust.
  • Bake the crust for 8 minutes in the oven till crust hardens. Cool before filling.
  • Combine 2/3 cup of sugar, salt, and flour in a small saucepan. Melt chocolate squares (the easiest way is to melt it in a small dish in the microwave), then add the melted chocolate to the dry mixture along with the evaporated milk or cream. Whisk together to blend ingredients.
  • Add 1 cup of water and beaten egg yolks, whisk again. Turn heat to medium low and continue to whisk for 10-15 minutes. The mixture will heat slowly and take on a thicker consistency and become a custard. Don't leave the pan alone for very long or the custard will burn/congeal to the bottom of the pan. Continue whisking until the custard thickens and begins to stick to the whisk in small lumps. Remove from heat.Melt in the butter, then whisk in the marshmallows, which will melt into the custard. Let mixture return to room temperature.
  • Fill cooled graham cracker crust with the custard.Place pie uncovered in the refrigerator and chill for at least 6 hours till set (preferably overnight).
  • At least 1 ½ hours before serving, combine 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and 2 tbsp sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Whip on medium high for a few minutes until the cream is light and fluffy.Spread the freshly whipped cream on top of the pie with a spatula. If you have more time and want a more elegant presentation, you can pipe the cream across the top of the pie with a star tip.
  • Grate semisweet chocolate into 2-3 tbsp of chocolate shavings.
  • Sprinkle the chocolate shavings onto the top of the pie, along with 2 tbsp chopped pecans.
  • Chill for at least 1 hour longer before serving.

Provided by Godiva

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!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the pie will taste. Use real butter, heavy cream, and semisweet or bittersweet chocolate.
  • Make sure the chocolate is finely chopped. This will help it melt smoothly into the cream mixture.
  • Don't overbeat the cream. Overbeaten cream will become stiff and grainy. Beat it just until it holds soft peaks.
  • Use a graham cracker crust that is firm and sturdy. A soft or crumbly crust will not be able to hold up to the filling.
  • Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly.
  • Garnish the pie with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries before serving.

Conclusion:

Chocolate icebox pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make, delicious, and can be tailored to your own preferences.
