I created this dessert for my daughter’s birthday; everyone loved the taste and texture of the crunchy crust and flavorful creamy filling. It’s elegant and easy to put together. Layers of dipped mini chocolate chip cookies and crème combine to make a showstopping presentation. Serve with pride!
INGREDIENTS
YIELDS 1 PIE APPROXIMATELY 10 SERVINGS
- 1 graham cracker pie crust
- 2 oz (55 g) bittersweet chocolate melted
- 2 8-oz (225 g) containers pareve whipping cream
- 1 pkg (3 oz/80 gram) white-chocolate-flavored pudding mix
- ¾ cup soy milk (regular or vanilla)
- 13–15 oz mini chocolate chip cookies (I used Osem)
- chocolate curls for garnish
PREPARATION
Pour melted chocolate on the bottom of the pie crust and smear gently taking care not to break the crust. Place in the freezer for a few minutes until chocolate hardens.
Meanwhile beat pareve whipping cream with pudding mix until stiff.
Pour the soy milk into a wide shallow bowl. Dunk a handful of mini cookies into the soy milk. Remove immediately shaking off excess soy milk. You want it to be a quick dip so they don’t get too soggy. Place cookies in a single layer on the bottom of the chocolate-coated crust. (I start at the outer rim making a circle followed by an inner circle until it’s all covered.) Follow with a layer of flavored whipped cream. Repeat this layering twice more. The top layer of cream should be a little thicker.
Hold a thick piece of baking chocolate in your hand and using a vegetable peeler create chocolate curls by peeling down the side of the chocolate square. Pile in the center of the pie. Alternately you can grate chocolate all over the top. Place in freezer until ready to serve. Remove from freezer at least ½ hour before serving. Pie should be soft but not mushy.
Note You will have a little whipping cream left over. Freeze for later use and serve with warm apple pie scoop on top of brownies or with fruit salad.
Variation For a dairy meal use dairy whip topping (heavy cream) and milk chocolate. Divine!
