BEST MUD PIE

Steps:

• Freeze the crust until firm, about 30 minutes. Place half the coffee ice cream into a bowl, and let it stand about 10 minutes to soften. Return remaining ice cream to the freezer. Mix softened ice cream with the mini chocolate chips. Spread the ice cream and chips in an even layer over the frozen crust. Cover with plastic wrap, and freeze for 2 hours.
• Heat the topping in the microwave on low until warm and easy to pour, 30 seconds to 1 minute (do not let the sauce get very hot). Pour into a bowl. Set aside 2 tablespoons cookie crumbs for garnish; stir remaining cookie crumbs into the fudge topping. Remove the pie from the freezer, and layer the cookie crumbs and fudge topping mixture over the ice cream with chips. Cover with plastic wrap, and return to freezer for 2 hours.
• Take the remaining frozen coffee ice cream out of the freezer, and allow to stand for about 10 minutes to soften. Layer the ice cream over the layer of cookie crumbs and fudge topping. Cover with plastic wrap, and return to freezer for 2 more hours.
• Remove pie, and frost the top of the pie with the whipped topping. Top with the reserved cookie crumbs. Cover with plastic wrap, and return to freezer for 2 more hours to freeze the whipped topping layer. Cut the pie into serving pieces, and drizzle each serving with about 1 tablespoon of the chocolate syrup.

NO-BAKE PEANUT BUTTER GANACHE MUD PIE

Steps:

• Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by turning the base so the lip is on the underside and latching the pan in place. Spray the pan lightly with nonstick spray and line bottom with parchment.
• For the crust: Place the butter and chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl or cup and microwave until melted, 30 to 40 seconds. Stir in the espresso and salt. Place the cookie crumbs in a medium bowl. Drizzle in the butter mixture and toss until evenly moistened. Pour the crumbs into the prepared pan. Use your fingertips to press the crumbs about 1 inch up the side of the pan. Use the bottom of a measuring cup or flat-bottom glass to press the crumbs securely over the base of the pan place. Place the crust in the freezer.
• For the ganache: Combine the chocolate chips, cream, peanut butter and salt in the top of a double boiler or in a metal bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water. Heat, stirring once the chocolate begins to melt, until the mixture is smooth. Pour half of the ganache into the crust and use a spoon to spread it evenly. Set the crust aside while you prepare the filling.
• For the mousse: Whip 1 cup of the heavy cream together with 1/4 cup of the confectioners' sugar with an electric mixer until medium peaks form. Transfer to a medium bowl and set
• aside. In the same mixer bowl, combine the remaining 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons confectioners'
• sugar and remaining 1/4 cup cream with the cream cheese, salt and vanilla. Beat on low to
• combine, then raise the speed to medium and beat until completely smooth. Add the peanut
• butter and vanilla and beat until smooth.
• With a rubber spatula, fold 1/3 of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture to lighten
• it. Gently fold in the remaining whipped cream just until combined; a few streaks of whipped
• cream are okay. Gently spoon 1/2 the mousse into the crust, smoothing it out towards the edges of the pan and mounding it slightly towards the center. Drizzle the remaining ganache over the mousse. Spoon the rest of the mousse into the pan and spread it to the edges of the crust. Smooth the mousse with an offset spatula, creating swoops in the mousse if desired. Sprinkle with the chocolate chips and peanuts around the edges of the pie. Refrigerate overnight before slicing and serving.
