MILK CHOCOLATE PUDDING PIE WITH BROWNIE CRUST

Steps:

• For the crust: Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Coat the inside of a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick cooking spray.
• Melt the chocolate and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously. Stir both of the sugars and the vanilla and salt into the chocolate mixture with a whisk. Remove from the heat and let cool for a few minutes. Stir in the egg and beat vigorously until fully incorporated. Add the flour and cocoa powder and stir just until combined; the batter should be sticky and fairly stiff.
• Spoon the batter into the middle of the pie plate and cover the batter with a piece of plastic wrap big enough to cover the pie plate. Smooth the batter across the bottom of the pie plate and 1/2 inch up the sides using your fingers. Remove the plastic wrap and bake until the top is crispy and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 15 minutes. (Check the batter after 10 minutes; if the sides are slumping or the bottom puffs up, use the rounded back of a large metal spoon to push the sides back up the pie plate and the bottom back down.) Set aside on a wire rack to cool, at least 15 minutes.
• For the pudding: Whisk the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch and salt together in a medium saucepan. Vigorously whisk in the yolks, then the milk until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to thicken and simmer, about 4 minutes. Stir in the chopped chocolate and vanilla until melted, then remove from the heat. Pour into the pie shell and cover with plastic wrap pressed gently against the pudding's surface (only if you don't want a skin to form). Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
• Shave some milk chocolate with a vegetable peeler or grater and scatter the pieces over the pie.

GLUTEN-FREE DOUBLE CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER PUDDING PIE

• Meanwhile, in large heatproof bowl, mix cocoa and remaining chopped chocolate; reserve. In 1-quart heavy saucepan, heat half-and-half over medium-high heat until almost boiling. In medium heatproof bowl, beat sugar, egg and egg yolks with whisk until pale yellow. Slowly beat in half of the hot half-and-half, then stir egg mixture back into remaining half-and-half in saucepan. Reduce heat to medium. Heat mixture just to boiling. Cook, beating with whisk, about 1 minute or until thickened. Pour through sieve into reserved cocoa mixture; beat with whisk until smooth. Pour into crust; refrigerate 30 minutes.

• Mix cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar and vanilla and blend until smooth using a mixer on medium speed.
• Gently spread the peanut butter mixture in an even layer into the prepared pie shell, including the sides of the pie crust. A rubber or silicone spatula works well.

• Cook the pudding mix according to box directions, cool five minutes and then pour into pie shell over the bananas.
• Smooth the pudding, cover with plastic wrap, and chill at least 3 hours before serving.
• Serve topped with whipped cream or whipped topping.

5-LAYER CHOCOLATE BANANA PUDDING PIE

Steps:

• Prepare crust: combine pretzels, cookies, and brown sugar in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until blended. Drizzle in melted butter slowly, and pulse to combine. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch dish.
• Prepare chocolate ganache: heat cream in the microwave in 1-minute increments until boiling. Add chocolate and whisk until combined and melted. Spread ganache over the crust and place in the refrigerator until needed.
• Prepare cream cheese layer: mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and a small amount of cream in a bowl with a wire whisk to add air to the cream cheese. Add remaining cream and mix until well whipped; spread over the crust.
• Slice bananas lengthwise, then cut in half. Arrange over the cream cheese mixture and return to the refrigerator.
• Prepare pudding layer: Whisk milk and pudding mix in a bowl until pudding begins to set, 3 to 4 minutes. Spoon over the bananas and return to the refrigerator.
• Prepare topping: beat cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until frothy. Add powdered sugar gradually, continuing to beat until soft peaks form. Spread on top of pudding layer and sprinkle with grated chocolate.

OLD-FASHIONED CHOCOLATE PUDDING PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly spray a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the graham crumbs and sugar. Drizzle in the oil or melted margarine. Use a spoon to blend the mixture thoroughly to moisten the crumbs, then drizzle in the soy milk and stir again to form a crumbly dough.
• Pour the crumbs into the pie plate. Press crumbs into the sides of the plate first, then work your way down to the bottom. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until firm. Let the crust cool before filling.
• In a small (2-quart) saucepan off the heat, combine 1 cup of the almond milk and the cornstarch. Use a fork to whisk until the cornstarch is good and dissolved. Whisk in the remaining almond milk, the sugar, cocoa powder and salt. It's O.K. if the cocoa is a bit clumpy at first; it will dissolve eventually.
• Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking occasionally. Keep a close eye because once boiling, you want to lower the heat and bring it to a slow rolling boil. Whisk consistently until the mixture is thickened, which should be about 7 minutes.
• Add the chocolate chips and mix to melt. Stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the pudding into the prepared pie shell and let cool for about 15 minutes on the counter, just until it stops steaming like mad. To keep a skin from forming, place a circle of parchment paper over the filling. Refrigerate and let set for at least 3 hours.

Transfer to a bowl and let cool slightly, stirring a few times to prevent a skin from forming. Pour the filling into the crust, smoothing it out so that it reaches the edges of the pie crust. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface and chill until set, at least 4 hours.

TOFU CHOCOLATE PUDDING/MOUSSE/PIE FILLING

Steps:

• Note 2: I use the Mori Nu brand of tofu for this (since it's from their box), but you can use any brand, just make sure it is the"silken" type and not regular.
• Melt choc chips in a double boiler over low heat or in microwave (if you know what you're doing).
• Put tofu, sweetener, and melted chocolate into a blender and process until very smooth.
• Pour into a serving bowl or bowls and refrigerate, covered, for at least a couple of hours.
