Categories     dessert

Time 2h20m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons water or coffee
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, or a mix of both, melted and cooled slightly
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 baked 9-inch pie crust
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
Chocolate shavings, for garnish

Steps:

  • Fill a medium pot with 1 inch water over medium heat. Whisk the eggs with 1/2 cup of the sugar and the water or coffee in a large heatproof bowl that will fit over the pot without touching the water. Place the bowl over the simmering water and continue whisking constantly until the eggs become thick and fluffy, and a drizzle of the mixture will hold its shape and sit on top of the custard, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool, whisking occasionally so the eggs do not scramble.
  • Combine the butter, salt and remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a large bowl and beat in a stand mixer or with hand beaters on medium-high speed until fluffy. Pour in the chocolate and 1 1/4 teaspoons of the vanilla and continue to beat, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until combined. Add the custard and continue to beat until the filling is thick, fluffy and smooth, about 5 minutes.
  • Spread into the pie crust and cover with plastic wrap. Chill until cold and set, 2 to 3 hours. Before serving, whip the cream with the confectioners' sugar and remaining 1/4 teaspoon vanilla until it forms soft peaks. Spread over the pie filling and garnish with chocolate shavings.

Categories     Bakery Goods

Time 30m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 ¼ cups all purpose flour
½ cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon espresso powder, optional
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
¾ cup light brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 cup whole milk, room temperature
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
14 oz marshmallow cream
2 ½ cups powdered sugar, plus more as needed
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
40 crushed peppermint candies

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Make the cakes: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder, if using.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Add the egg and peppermint extract and beat until smooth and lightened in color, about 1 minute.
  • Add about a third of the dry ingredients and mix on medium-low speed until combined, then add half of the milk and mix until incorporated. Continue alternating additions of the dry ingredients and milk, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
  • Use a 1½-ounce ice cream scoop to portion out the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing at least 2 inches apart.
  • Bake the cakes for 12-14 minutes, until firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
  • Make the marshmallow filling: Add the butter and marshmallow creme to a large bowl and beat with an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed until fully combined, 2-3 minutes. Sift in the powdered sugar and salt, then beat for another 2-3 minutes, until combined. The mixture should be stiff; if not, add a few more tablespoons of powdered sugar. Transfer the filling to a piping bag or zip-top bag. Place the piping bag in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before assembling the whoopie pies.
  • When ready to assemble, cut a 1-inch (2.5 cm)-wide opening from the corner of the piping bag.
  • Pipe a thick spiral of the filling (¼-⅓ cup) onto the flat sides of half of the cakes, leaving a ¼-inch (½ cm) border around the edge. Place the remaining cakes on top of the filling, domed sides up, and press down lightly to adhere.
  • Add the crushed peppermint candies to a bowl. Roll the sides of each whoopie pie into the peppermint candies to coat. (For a more polished look, use a spoon to tilt the crushed peppermints onto the exposed filling).
  • Refrigerate the whoopie pies until ready to serve, then remove from the refrigerator at least 10 minutes prior to serving.
  • Enjoy!

SILKIEST CHOCOLATE TART RECIPE BY TASTY



Silkiest Chocolate Tart Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: unsalted butter, powdered sugar, large egg, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, water, butter, instant coffee, dark chocolate, sugar, vanilla, salt, large eggs, fresh raspberry, powdered sugar

Provided by Rie McClenny

Categories     Desserts

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

½ cup unsalted butter, 1 stick, softened
½ cup powdered sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup water
½ cup butter, 1 stick
1 teaspoon instant coffee
1 cup dark chocolate, chopped
⅓ cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 pinch salt
3 large eggs
1 pt fresh raspberry, for serving
powdered sugar, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the tart dough: add the butter to a medium bowl and sift in the powdered sugar through a fine-mesh sieve. Using an electric hand mixer, beat until smooth.
  • Beat the egg and add half at a time to the butter mixture, beating well to incorporate between additions.
  • Sift in the flour and cocoa powder, and add the salt. Using a rubber spatula, mix the dough until the cocoa powder is evenly distributed. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or overnight (if you chill the dough overnight, let it sit at room temperature for 15-30 minutes before rolling out).
  • Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
  • Grease a 9-inch (23-cm) tart pan and roll out the chilled dough to an 11-inch (28-cm) circle. Roll the dough around the rolling pin, then unroll the dough over the pan.
  • Press the dough against the bottom and sides of the pan, then use the rolling pin to roll over the top of the pan, cutting off any excess dough (re-roll any excess dough and bake into cookies, if desired). Press the dough gently against the pan once more. Using a folk, prick some holes in the bottom of the crust so it doesn't puff up.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the tart shell from the oven and reduce the temperature to 300˚F (150˚C)
  • Make the filling: in a medium saucepan, heat the pan over high heat. Combine the water and butter, and bring to a boil. Add the instant coffee and stir until dissolved.
  • Add the chocolate, sugar, and vanilla to a medium bowl and pour the hot butter mixture over. Whisk until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is glossy.
  • Add the eggs and whisk well to combine. Pour the filling into the par-baked shell. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until chocolate is mostly set but the center jiggles slightly.
  • Cool the tart for at least 30 minutes, or until cool to touch. Garnish with raspberries and sift powdered sugar over the top. Slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your pie will taste. Use real chocolate, not chocolate chips or cocoa powder. Use fresh peppermint extract, not imitation. And use heavy cream, not milk.
  • Make sure your pie crust is fully baked. A soggy pie crust will ruin your pie. Bake the crust for the full amount of time specified in the recipe. You can also blind-bake the crust before filling it, which will help to prevent sogginess.
  • Let your pie chill before serving. This will help the pie to set and firm up. Chill the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Serve your pie with fresh whipped cream or ice cream. This will add a delicious finishing touch to your pie.

Conclusion:

Chocolate peppermint silk pie is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be made ahead of time. So next time you are looking for a special dessert to impress your friends and family, Chocolate peppermint silk pie is a great option.
