I am not much of a dessert person but I absolutely love no bake chocolate pie. How could I not include a great recipe like this for a great southern novel, The Help by Kathryn Stockett. The only difference is my secret ingredient in my pie is love.
Crust:
2 cups oreo cookie crumbs about 24 cookies
Pie Crust Preparation:
1. In a blender pulse crushed Oreos until mixture is fine
2. In a bowl mix Oreo mix with ¼ cup melted butter
3. Press mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie pan and put in the fridge to chill.
Filling:
8 ounces Semi sweet chocolate chopped
⅔ cups heavy whipping cream
¾ teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoons instant espresso powder
1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream whipped to stiff peaks
2 Tablespoon granulated sugar
Filling Preparation:
1. Chop chocolate into small pieces and put in a heat-proof bowl.
2. Heat 2/3 cup of cream for about 45 seconds in the microwave, until steaming. Pour over the chopped chocolate and allow to sit for several minutes.
3. Add vanilla and espresso powder to the chocolate and cream. Whisk together to make a thick ganache. Allow to cool completely.
4. While the ganache is cooling, add your 1 ½ cup cream and granulated sugar to a clean mixing bowl and whip until stiff peaks form. Be careful to not over whip your cream! Peaks should stand on their own and not flop over at all.
5. When the ganache is cooled completely, add to the bowl of whipped cream. Gently fold the chocolate into the cream until it just incorporated, with no streaks of dark chocolate or white cream.
6. Pour into chilled pie shell and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
7. Top with whipped cream and enjoy! (mix in a little vanilla in whipped cream to make it taste great and silky)
