No Bake Gluten Free Chocolate Cream Pie Food

NO BAKE GLUTEN FREE CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Mix the crushed pretzels, sugar, and melted butter until it is evenly blended. Firmly press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a lightly oiled pie plate (I used a 9 1/2-inch plate). Using the flat bottom of a cup or measuring cup helps ensure an even crust.
• Refrigerate the crust while preparing the filling.
• Use an electric mixer to beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and melted chocolate until smooth.
• Add the sweetened condensed milk and beat until no lumps remain.
• Using a rubber scraper, stir about 1 cup of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Once that has been stirred in, fold in the remaining whipped cream.
• Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. The pie may also be frozen for a refreshing ice cream pie, just remove from the freezer 10 minutes before serving.
• Garnish with additional whipped cream and chocolate sauce before serving (optional)

GLUTEN-FREE CREAMY CHOCOLATE PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Grease 9-inch glass pie plate with shortening or cooking spray. In medium bowl, place Bisquick mix. Cut in butter with pastry blender or fork (or pulling 2 table knives through mixture in opposite directions) until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in water; shape into ball with hands. Press dough in bottom and up side of pie plate.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, mix granulated sugar and cornstarch. Gradually stir in milk; cook over medium heat until mixture boils, stirring constantly. Reserve 1 tablespoon chocolate chips for topping; coarsely chop. Add remaining chocolate chips and vanilla, stirring until melted and smooth. Pour into medium bowl; cover surface with plastic wrap. Refrigerate about 30 minutes to chill.
• In large bowl, beat whipping cream and powdered sugar with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Reserve 1 cup for topping. Beat cooled chocolate mixture with electric mixer on medium speed about 2 minutes or until smooth and creamy; fold into whipped cream in large bowl. Spoon evenly into cooled baked crust. Pipe reserved whipped cream around edge of pie; sprinkle with reserved chopped chocolate chips. Refrigerate 6 to 8 hours or until set before serving. Cover and refrigerate any remaining pie.
