Chocolate Cheesecake Pudding Pie With Brownie Crust Food

BROWNIE BOTTOM CHOCOLATE PUDDING PIE

Steps:

• Make the pudding first, since it will need to chill for up to three hours. Chop the bittersweet chocolate into fine flakes with a serrated knife.
• In a large, heat-proof bowl, whisk together the cocoa, corn starch and salt. Gradually add the cream, whisking as you go until it's smooth. Whisk in the egg yolks.
• In a 3-quart or larger saucepan, add the milk. Stir in the brown sugar and warm it over medium heat. Bring the pot to a simmer. You will see tiny bubbles covering the surface of the liquid.
• When it has reached a simmer, pour most of the hot liquid into your bowl with the cocoa and corn starch mixture. Whisk until it is blended well. This will temper the eggs, so they don't scramble.
• Pour everything from your bowl back into the pot and increase the heat to medium high. Whisk constantly as you bring the pot to a full boil. The pudding will be thicker.
• Cook the boiling pudding for two minutes, whisking constantly and vigorously, making sure to reach the corners of your pot.
• Remove the pudding from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Add the chopped chocolate and whisk the pudding well until the chocolate is blended.
• To chill the hot pudding more quickly, spread it evenly onto a sheet pan with sides. Cover the entire surface of the pudding with wax paper, pressing it onto the pudding to prevent skin from forming. Let the pudding cool off for a bit in the pan before refrigerating it for three hours. (You can check it after 1 1/2 hours to see if it's ready.)
• While the pudding is chilling, make the brownie crust. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch or 10-inch pie dish with cooking spray or butter. (The 9-inch pie dish will give you a taller pie, which looks nicer.)
• In a glass bowl or other microwaveable bowl, add the 4 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate and the butter. Heat this, covered, in the microwave for 1 minute and 50 seconds, or until the butter is melted. Stir to combine.
• Whisk in the sugar and salt. Then whisk in the eggs and vanilla. Finally, whisk in the flour.
• Transfer the brownie batter to your pie dish and bake it for 20 minutes, or until a cake tester or toothpick inserted in the center of the brownie comes out with fudgy crumbs. Don't over bake it. Let the brownie crust cool on a wire rack.
• To make the whipped cream, beat the whipping cream and confectioners sugar with a mixer in a clean, medium stainless steel or glass bowl, until the cream is about half way to being stiff. Add in the vanilla extract and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate the whipped cream until the pudding is chilled enough to assemble the pie.
• To assemble the pie, make sure the brownie crust is at room temperature. Add the chilled pudding on top of the brownie crust. Top the pudding with the whipped cream.
• To make chocolate curls or flakes for the garnish, use a vegetable peeler to peel along a straight edge of your chocolate square. Make as many curls/flakes as you wish and scatter them on top of the pie.
• Refrigerate the pie for at least an hour before serving, to allow it to set. Then store the pie in the refrigerator for up to three days, covered with a domed bowl or domed foil so that it doesn't touch the whipped cream topping. I don't recommend freezing this pie.

CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE PUDDING DESSERT RECIPE

Steps:

• Crush the graham crackers in a resealable bag with a rolling pin, or in a food processor, if not already crushed. Transfer to a medium mixing bowl and set aside. In a small microwave safe dish, melt the butter and sugar together. Stir to dissolve completely. Pour over the graham cracker crumbs and combine thoroughly. Firmly press the crumbs into a 13x9-inch pan. In a stand mixer or with a hand-held blender, beat the cream cheese, pudding mix, and milk until well combined. Pour onto prepared crust and smooth into an even layer. Add the whipped topping in an even layer and garnish with additional graham cracker crumbs. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

BROWNIE BOTTOM CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• For the brownies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 10-inch springform pan with nonstick baking spray.
• Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder and salt in a medium bowl. Melt the butter and chocolate in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently, until completely melted, then let cool for 10 minutes. Stir in the sugar and eggs. Add the flour mixture, and stir to combine. Pour brownie batter into the prepared pan and tap the pan gently to ensure the batter is even. Bake until the top is set and the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a baking rack.
• For the cheesecake: Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the sour cream and mix until just incorporated. Stir in the eggs and vanilla extract by hand, one by one, taking care not to overmix or your cheesecake will turn into a souffle.
• Wrap the bottom of the pan and up the sides with foil and place in a roasting pan. Pour the cheesecake batter on top of the brownie layer and spread it evenly on top. Fill the roasting pan with water until it reaches halfway up the side of the springform pan. Bake until the center is jiggly but the surface is set, about 1 hour. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 30 minutes.
• Remove the cheesecake from the oven and run a sharp knife around the edges of the cake to release from the pan. Let rest on a baking rack until completely cool. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or up to overnight before serving.
• Slice and garnish each slice with chocolate syrup and whipped cream.

MILK CHOCOLATE PUDDING PIE WITH BROWNIE CRUST

Steps:

• For the crust: Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Coat the inside of a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick cooking spray.
• Melt the chocolate and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously. Stir both of the sugars and the vanilla and salt into the chocolate mixture with a whisk. Remove from the heat and let cool for a few minutes. Stir in the egg and beat vigorously until fully incorporated. Add the flour and cocoa powder and stir just until combined; the batter should be sticky and fairly stiff.
• Spoon the batter into the middle of the pie plate and cover the batter with a piece of plastic wrap big enough to cover the pie plate. Smooth the batter across the bottom of the pie plate and 1/2 inch up the sides using your fingers. Remove the plastic wrap and bake until the top is crispy and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 15 minutes. (Check the batter after 10 minutes; if the sides are slumping or the bottom puffs up, use the rounded back of a large metal spoon to push the sides back up the pie plate and the bottom back down.) Set aside on a wire rack to cool, at least 15 minutes.
• For the pudding: Whisk the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch and salt together in a medium saucepan. Vigorously whisk in the yolks, then the milk until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to thicken and simmer, about 4 minutes. Stir in the chopped chocolate and vanilla until melted, then remove from the heat. Pour into the pie shell and cover with plastic wrap pressed gently against the pudding's surface (only if you don't want a skin to form). Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
• Shave some milk chocolate with a vegetable peeler or grater and scatter the pieces over the pie.
