CAPPUCCINO PIE

Steps:

• For Chocolate Cookie Crust: Place cookies in food processor and blend until fine cookie crumbs are formed. Add melted butter, and pulse food processor 3-4 additional times. Spray a 9-inch deep dish pie plate with baking spray and press the cookie crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate. Place pie plate in freezer to chill for 10-15 minutes.
• For Cappuccino Pie: Chill a large metal or glass bowl and wire whisk in the freezer for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together milk, coffee, pudding mix and ½ cup heavy cream. Set aside.
• Add remaining 1½ cups heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla to chilled bowl. Using a large hand-held whisk or an electric mixer, whip cream until it begins to thicken. Continue to whip cream until soft peaks begin to form. Use caution and do not over mix.
• Fold half of the whipped cream mixture into the pudding mixture, being careful not to over mix. Pour pie filling into prepared pie crust and store remaining whipped cream in refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Place pie in freezer and freeze for 4-6 hours, or until frozen. When ready to serve, remove pie from freezer and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place 8-10 chocolate sandwich cookies in food processor and blend until large cookie crumbs are formed.
• Right before slicing, spread remaining whipped cream on top of pie and top with large cookie pieces. Slice and serve immediately.

LAYERED ICE CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Combine the cookie crumbs and butter and mix well. Firmly and evenly press the mixture over the bottom of a 3-inch-deep 10-inch springform pan. Bake for 8 minutes, then cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes, until it's no longer warm to the touch.
• Spread the caramel sauce over the cooled crust, leaving a 1-inch border. Freeze for about 30 to 60 minutes, until set.
• Spread the chocolate ice cream over the caramel sauce in an even layer, then freeze for about for 30 to 60 minutes, until firm. (Freezing time depends on the quality of the ice cream and the freezer temperature.)
• Combine the vanilla ice cream and crushed candy bars. Spread over the chocolate ice cream in an even layer, then freeze for about 30 minutes, until firm.
• Spread a thin layer of chocolate sauce evenly over the vanilla ice cream, then freeze for about 30 minutes, until firm.
• Spread the coffee ice cream over the chocolate sauce in an even layer, then return to the freezer for about 30 to 60 minutes, until firm. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 8 hours before slicing.
• Remove from the freezer about 10 minutes before serving. Remove the springform pan sides, and slice into 12 wedges. If you like, serve additional caramel and chocolate sauce on the side.
• Time Management Advice from Pie Tester Kate Antea
• This pie will take about 4 hours to make. While one layer is freezing, the next ice cream is out softening, and a sauce can be made and cooled. My suggestion is to start by making the caramel sauce (which can be done a day ahead). While the sauce cools, make the crust. While the caramel is freezing, take the chocolate ice cream out to soften. When the chocolate layer goes in to freeze, take out the vanilla ice cream to soften and chop the candy bars. When the vanilla layer goes in to freeze, make and cool the chocolate sauce. When the chocolate sauce layer goes in to freeze, take out the coffee ice cream to soften.

COFFEE CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Whisk together granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan. Whisk in milk and 2 tablespoons espresso powder, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until bubbling and thick, about 7 minutes (about 2 minutes after it comes to a boil).
• Whisk egg yolks in a medium bowl until combined. Whisk in milk mixture in a slow, steady stream until completely incorporated. Return mixture to saucepan, and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, just until it returns to a boil, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Strain through a fine sieve into a large bowl, and stir in coffee liqueur and vanilla. Add butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking until each piece melts before adding the next one. Let custard cool, whisking occasionally, about 10 minutes.
• Pour custard into baked and cooled crust. Press plastic wrap directly on surface of custard. Refrigerate until filling is firm, 4 hours (or wrapped tightly with plastic, up to 1 day).
• With the flat side of a chef's knife, crush espresso beans, 1 at a time. Reserve 1 tablespoon large pieces for garnish.
• In a chilled bowl, beat cream, confectioners' sugar, and remaining 1 teaspoon espresso powder until stiff peaks form. Fold small espresso-bean pieces into whipped cream mixture, and spread over pie. Sprinkle with reserved espresso-bean pieces or chocolate curls, and serve immediately.
