Cinnamon Chocolate And Mocha Pie Recipes

CHOCOLATE CINNAMON CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Make crust:
• Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
• Stir together all crust ingredients. Press over bottom and up side of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake until set, 12 to 15 minutes, then cool.
• Make filling:
• Melt chocolate in a large bowl.
• Stir together cornstarch and 2 tablespoons brown sugar in a small bowl.
• Whisk together whole eggs and yolks in another bowl, then whisk in cornstarch mixture.
• Stir together milk, cream, salt, and remaining brown sugar in a heavy medium saucepan and bring just to a boil over medium heat. Pour half of milk mixture into egg mixture in a slow stream, whisking, then pour egg mixture into remaining milk mixture. Bring to a boil over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, then boil, whisking, 1 minute. Remove from heat and whisk in butter and vanilla. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into melted chocolate and whisk to combine.
• Transfer hot filling to crust and chill, its surface covered with parchment, until filling is cold, about 3 hours.
• Make whipped cream:
• Beat cream with confectioners sugar and cinnamon using an electric mixer until it holds stiff peaks. Spoon over chilled filling.
• Make chocolate curls:
• Hold chocolate in your hands (or microwave on low power in 10-second intervals) until surface softens slightly. Using a vegetable peeler (preferably Y-shaped), "peel" large chocolate curls onto a paper towel. If curls are too brittle or don't form easily, rewarm chocolate just until surface softens.
• Sprinkle curls on pie.

• Crust preparation:
• Pulverize cookies in food processor until fine crumbs. Add almonds, salt and butter. Press into 9-inch pie plate. Put in freezer for about 10 minutes to set.

Melt baking chocolate in microwave. Stir into cheese/espresso mixture with spatula until just incorporated. Fold in whipped heavy cream. Pour into frozen/cold pie shell. Freeze for at least 20 minutes.
• Ganache preparation:
• Bring heavy cream to low simmer with rose petals; remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes; strain out rose petals. Pour heavy cream over chocolate chips in small bowl
• Stir until melted and glossy. Set aside to cool. When pie is frozen enough pour ganache evenly over top and smooth with spoon. Refrigerate until ready to garnish.

MOCHA MADNESS BISCOTTI PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Coat a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray and set aside.
• In an electric mixer, combine the flour, 1/4 cup cocoa, sugar, baking soda, salt, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, coffee grounds, walnuts, chocolate morsels, and butterscotch morsels and mix until combined.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant coffee and warm water. Add the eggs and 2 tablespoons of Kahlua and mix until thoroughly combined. Add egg mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until fully incorporated, forming a thick dough. Transfer dough to the springform pan, press to cover the surface evenly, and bake until firm and set, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and with a fork poke holes all over it. With a pastry brush, brush the remaining 2 tablespoons Kahlua over the warm crust. Repeat the same process with the chocolate sauce. Allow the crust to cool completely. Once cool, top with the ice cream and smooth out. Top with the whipped topping and smooth out. Place in the freezer and allow to freeze completely. Serve dusted with cinnamon and cocoa and a tiny drizzle of chocolate sauce.

CHOCOLATE MASCARPONE PIE WITH MOCHA SAUCE RECIPE - (4.8/5)

Steps:

• Crust: Preheat oven to 325° F. In a food processor, pulse cookies and cinnamon until cookies are a fine crumb. Place crumbs into a mixing bowl, add butter and mix until well-incorporated. Add milk and continue to mix until the crumbs clump together. Press crumbs into a pie pan, working up the sides and across the bottom until the pan is covered and thickness is unform. Reefrigerate 10 minutes. Bake crust for 6 minutes at 325° F. Let cool on a wire rack and refrigerate 10 minutes before filling. OR TAKE THE EASY WAY - buy the crust already done. Filling: Dissolve the instant coffee in the hot water and set aside. In a medium mixing bowl, stir the mascarpone (and cream cheese if used) to soften. Add the coffee, melted chocolate and vanilla and stir gently until evenly blended. Keep at room temperature while making the whipped cream. Beat the cream with an electric mixer until it holds soft peaks. Add confectioners' sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Gently fold 1/3 of the whipped cream into the chocolate-cheese mixture, then spoon into the crust. Top with remaining whipped cream. Refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight before serving. Sauce: Bring cream, coffee and butter to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat and add chocolate chips and let the mixture sit 2 minutes. Add corn syrup and vanilla and whisk until smooth. The sauce will thicken as it cools and is best served slightly warm.
