NO-BAKE DARK CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE



No-Bake Dark Chocolate Cream Pie image

This pie is demanded from my family for every holiday. I found the recipe online back in the late 90's. To many disappointed family members' dismay, I temporarily lost my handwritten copy after moving, I couldn't find online, and I wasn't able to make it for one holiday. I'm adding it here so I will always have it. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does.

HEALTHY DARK CHOCOLATE TORTE (PIE)



Healthy Dark Chocolate Torte (Pie) image

***Inspired by Alton Brown's Moo-less Chocolate Pie.*** Happy New Year! I am happy to present this decadent and (yes!) healthy recipe for an awesome dessert which I made for Christmas dinner 2011, not knowing what it would taste like. "Oh my!" I would never have guessed it wasn't totally sinful if I didn't already know. You rarely can go wrong w/an Alton Brown recipe, so I knew it'd be good, just not *this* good! Silken tofu: where have you been all my life?!? Note: I have made a few minor adjustments to ingredients and order of incorporation, which worked better for me, and hopefully will for you, too. Prep time includes 2 hours for chilling in the refrigerator post-assembly. (The original recipe can be found here: http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/alton-browns-dairy-free-chocolate-pie)

Provided by Susiecat too

Categories     Tarts

Time 2h20m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups cranberry juice
1 cup dried cranberries
12 ounces fresh cranberries or 12 ounces frozen cranberries
1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 5 1/4 ounces )
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar or 1/4 cup glazing sugar
6 tablespoons melted butter
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or 1 cup chopped semisweet chocolate
2/3 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup diced walnuts or 3/4 cup pecans, toasted in a 350 F oven for 8 to 10 minutes

Steps:

  • For the Cranberry topping: Bring the sugar, salt, and cranberry juice to a boil. Stir in the dried cranberries, then the fresh or frozen berries. Simmer gently for 10 to 12 minutes, or until about half the berries have popped. Remove from the heat, and cool to room temperature. Yield: 4 cups.
  • You'll need about 15 ounces (a scant 2 cups) sauce for the pie; enjoy the remainder on its own.
  • For the crust: Process the crackers, sugar, and melted butter in a food processor till crumbly and well combined. Press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9" pie pan. Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for about 7 to 8 minutes, until it's set, but not brown. Remove from the oven and cool.
  • For the filling: Put the chips and cream in a microwave-safe container, and heat for about 90 seconds. Remove from the microwave, and stir till the mixture becomes smooth and dark brown. You're simply making a basic ganache.
  • Assembly: Spoon the hot ganache into the cooled crust, and sprinkle the toasted nuts on top. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, probably 2, till the ganache has firmed up. Once the ganache is set, top with the cranberry sauce.

  • 4. Remove bowl from pan of water. Add brandy and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, stirring constantly so they don't become cooked. Pour chocolate mixture into crust. Bake for 35 minutes Transfer pie to wire rack and let cool for 30 minutes. Before serving, sprinkle top of pie with powdered sugar. Serve at room temperature and store in refrigerator for up to two days.
  • 5. Perfect Pie Dough: 2 sticks very cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes (8 oz) 1/4 cup powdered sugar 1 egg 1 T. cold water 1/2 t. salt 2 1/2 cups flour Put butter and powdered sugar in food processor fitted with metal blade.

Remove ball of dough from food processor, cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour before use. Well wrapped, this dough can be stored in freezer for up to two months and thawed in refrigerator. This is a great dough for any pie. It is especially important not to overwork the dough while preparing it. Make sure that all your ingredients are cold and turn off the food processor after each step.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will have a big impact on the final flavor of your pie. Use a good-quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Use a food processor to make the pie crust: This will make the process much easier and faster.
  • Chill the pie crust before baking: This will help to prevent it from shrinking.
  • Don't overbake the pie: The custard should be set, but still slightly wobbly in the center.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to firm up.
