CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE II

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, cream together egg yolks and sugar. Mix in cornstarch, cocoa powder, and salt. Add milk and stir gently.
• Pour mixture into a large saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until boiling. Remove from heat. Stir in butter or margarine and vanilla extract. Cool slightly, then pour mixture into pastry shell. Chill before serving. Garnish with whipped topping.

CHOCOLATE CREAM CHEESE PIE II

Steps:

• Add two inches of water to a med-sized saucepan; bring the pot to a bare simmer.
• Combine chocolate, 1/2 cup heavy cream, and the corn syrup in a stainless-steel bowl big enough to rest on top of the saucepan.
• Place the bowl over the simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
• Heat, whisking occasionally, until the chocolate is completely melted.
• Remove bowl from the heat and set the mixture aside; let cool until just warm, 5-10 minutes.
• With an electric mixer, beat in the softened cream cheese until the mixture is smooth.
• In a mixing bowl, whip the remaining 1 cup heavy cream (use electric mixer) until it just holds stiff peaks.
• Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture.
• Scrape the filling into the prepared crumb crust, smoothing the top with a rubber spatula.
• Cover pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the filling is completely set, 4 hours to 1 day.

CHOCOLATE PIE

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Pulse the cookies in a food processor until finely chopped. With the processor running, add the butter. Press the crumbs into the bottoms of four 4 1/4-inch disposable aluminum pie pans. Bake until set, about 5 minutes. Let cool.
• For the filling: Whisk together the sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the milk and egg yolks. Stir over medium heat until the mixture just barely comes to a boil and becomes thick, 6 to 8 minutes. The second it starts to bubble and thicken (it should be thick like pudding), remove it from the heat. Add the chocolate, butter and vanilla, then stir until everything is beautifully combined. Pour the pudding into the pie crusts and place in the fridge, uncovered, to chill for 4 hours. Serve topped with whipped cream.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the crust: Pulse the graham crackers in a food processor or crush in a resealable plastic bag until they are fine crumbs. Add the crumbs to a bowl and stir in the melted butter and sugar. Press the mixture into a pie pan and bake until set, about 4 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool completely.
• For the filling: Stir together the cornstarch, sugar and salt in a large saucepan over medium heat. Pour in the milk and beaten egg yolks. Cook, stirring, until the mixture comes to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate, butter and vanilla. Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled shell until it's filled to the brim. (You may have some left over.) Smooth the top of the pie, then gently press a piece of wax paper over the filling and chill until set, 3 to 4 hours. Store any leftover filling covered in the fridge for another use or snacking.
• For the meringue: Add the sugar, corn syrup, 2 tablespoons water and a pinch of salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved completely. Remove from the heat.
• Add the egg whites to the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat the egg whites on medium speed until frothy, about 1 minute. Add the cream of tartar and the remaining pinch salt and continue beating for 30 seconds. With the machine running on medium speed, drizzle the hot syrup mixture into the mixing bowl in a constant stream, then turn the speed to high and whip until the mixture forms stiff peaks (about 3 minutes).
• Remove the chilled pie from the fridge and discard the wax paper. Spread the meringue over the top of the chilled pie, making sure to get it to the edges. With the back of a spoon, lightly press into the meringue, lifting the spoon away, to create peaks. Toast the meringue with a brulee torch to the desired color. Slice and serve.

MOO-LESS CHOCOLATE PIE II

• Melt the chocolate and coffee liqueur in the bowl.
• Stir in vanilla.
• Combine the tofu, chocolate mixture, and honey in the blender jar.
• Liquefy until smooth.
• Blend in nuts.
• Pour the filling into the crust and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until the filling is set.

• Slowly pour egg yolks into cocoa mixture, whisking rapidly until yolks are incorporated. Stir in vanilla extract and butter or margarine. Pour filling into baked pie shell. Chill before serving. Store in refrigerator.
