Best Chocolate Whipped Cream Pie Recipes

HAZELNUT AND CHOCOLATE PIE WITH VANILLA WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the lower 1/3 of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
• Put 1/2 of the chocolate chips, hazelnuts, and flour in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the hazelnuts are coarsely chopped. Pour the hazelnut mixture into a small bowl and set aside. Combine remaining chocolate chips and sugar in the food processor. Blend until the mixture is finely ground. With the machine running, gradually add the hot water until the chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Add the eggs, butter, vanilla and cinnamon. Pulse until mixture is blended. Return the hazelnut mixture to the food processor and pulse to incorporate. Pour the mixture into a buttered and floured 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 35 minutes. Place the pie on a cooling rack and cool for 1 hour. (Top may crack during cooling.) Refrigerate for 2 hours. (Pie can be made 1 day in advance and stored in the refrigerator). Allow the pie to return to room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream until it forms soft peaks. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Continue to beat until cream holds stiff peaks.
• To serve: Cut the pie into slices and dollop with the Vanilla Cream.

NO-BAKE CREAM CHEESE PEANUT BUTTER PIE WITH CHOCOLATE WHIPPED CREAM

FRONTERA GRILL'S CHOCOLATE PECAN PIE WITH COFFEE WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Make the crust:
• In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, butter, and shortening. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal with some small (roughly pea-size) lumps of butter. Transfer to a large bowl.
• In a small bowl, stir together the sugar, salt, and 4 tablespoons ice water. Using a fork, gradually stir the ice-water mixture into the flour mixture-the dough will be in rough, rather stiff clumps. If there is unincorporated flour in the bottom of the bowl, drizzle in more ice water, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, and use the fork to gently incorporate it. Do not overwork the dough, or the pastry will be tough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface, gather into a ball, and flatten into a roughly 1-inch-thin disk. Wrap in plastic and chill at least 1 hour. DO AHEAD: The dough can be made ahead and stored, wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator, up to 2 days or frozen, up to 1 week; defrost in the refrigerator before proceeding.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 12-inch round then transfer to a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Trim the edge, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang, then fold the overhang under and crimp the edge decoratively. Using a fork, prick the bottom and sides of the pie shell all over then chill for 30 minutes. DO AHEAD: The pie shell can be assembled to this point and stored, wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator, up to 2 days, or frozen, up to 1 week; defrost in the refrigerator before continuing.
• Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 400°F.
• Lightly butter a 15-inch round of foil and lay it, butter-side-down, inside the chilled pie shell then gently press to line the shell snugly. Fill the pie shell with pie weights or dried beans and bake until the pastry is set and pale golden along the edge, about 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F. Carefully remove the weights or beans and the foil and bake the shell until pale golden all over, 8 to 10 minutes more. Brush the entire pastry surface with the lightly beaten egg yolk, and cool completely.
• Make the filling:
• Arrange a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350°F.
• In a large bowl, combine the pecans, chocolate, and flour, and toss to combine.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter and brown sugar and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add the corn syrup, molasses, coffee-flavored liqueur, vanilla, and salt and beat until incorporated (if the mixture appears to be separating or isn't combining, swap the paddle attachment for the whisk attachment and whisk until incorporated). Pour over the chocolate-pecan mixture and stir well to combine. Pour the mixture into the cooled pie shell and bake until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. DO AHEAD: The pie can be baked, cooled, and stored, wrapped in a double-layer of plastic and refrigerated, up to 3 days.
• Make the coffee whipped cream:
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or a large mixing bowl with a handheld mixer, whip the cream, sugar, and coffee-flavored liqueur until the cream holds soft peaks.
• To serve:
• Just before serving, cut slices into the pie then warm the whole pie in a 325°F oven until just heated through, about 8 minutes. Serve slices topped with dollops of coffee whipped cream.

CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE WITH WHIPPED PEANUT BUTTER CREAM

Steps:

• Make the filling: In a medium saucepan, heat the milk, cream, and chocolate over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate has fully melted. Turn the heat up to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
• Meanwhile, whisk the sugar, cornstarch, and espresso powder together in a medium heatproof bowl. Whisk in the egg yolks until well combined.
• When the chocolate mixture has come to a simmer, pour about half of it into the egg yolk mixture in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly. Then pour the egg yolk mixture into the saucepan and cook the pudding over low heat, whisking constantly, until it gets very thick and comes to a first boil (a single large bubble comes up to the surface in the center of the pudding), 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the butter and vanilla until well combined with a silicone spatula.
• Strain the warm pudding into the cooled piecrust and cover with plastic wrap pressed directly against the surface of the pudding. Let cool at room temperature until the filling is completely set, 35 to 45 minutes.
• Make the peanut butter cream: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or in a large bowl, using a hand mixer), whip the peanut butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cream and continue whipping until the mixture reaches medium peaks. Add the vanilla and mix to combine.
• Finish the pie: Dollop the peanut butter cream on top of the cooled pie and swirl it around with an offset spatula (easier), or transfer it to a pastry bag and pipe it on (fancier-see Pro Tip). Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• To mix the dough by hand: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the butter cubes, tossing them through the flour until each piece is well coated. Cut the butter into the flour by pressing the pieces between your palms or your fingers, flattening the cubes into big shards and continuing to toss them through the flour, recoating the shingled pieces.
• For a flaky crust, continue cutting the butter into the flour just until the pieces of butter are about the size of walnut halves. Or, for a mealy crust, continue to work the mixture together until the pieces of butter are about the size of peas. To mix the dough in a food processor: See Pro Tip.
• Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add 3 tablespoons ice water for a single crust or 6 tablespoons for a double crust and mix to incorporate. Then add more ice water 1 tablespoon at a time and continue mixing just until the dough comes together. As it begins to come together, you can knead it a few times to make sure it's fully combined. It's important not to add too much water to the dough, which should never be sticky- it should hold together easily in a ball but still feel almost dry to the touch.
• Form the dough into an even disk if making a single crust; or divide in half and shape into 2 equal disks if making a double crust. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
• For a single-crust pie: Lightly flour the work surface. Roll out the dough to a circle 1/4-inch thick: Start in the center of the disk of dough and push away from you using even pressure. Return to the center and repeat, this time moving toward you. Continue, rotating the dough occasionally and reflouring as needed to prevent the dough from sticking. This produces a more even result than just rolling back and forth, which can often yield thin edges and a thick center.
• To transfer the dough to the pie pan, roll the dough up onto the rolling pin, starting at the far edge of the round. With the pie pan in front of you, start at the edge closest to you and gently unfurl the dough into the pan. Press gently to make sure the crust settles all the way to the bottom, but be careful not to poke any holes in the dough. Trim away the excess dough, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang all around. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes or freeze for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Tuck the excess dough under at the edges, pressing lightly to help seal the dough to the outer rim of the pie pan. Crimp the edges of the piecrust as desired. Return the dough to the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes or to the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Mix the egg with about 1 tablespoon water and whisk. Brush the crimped edges of the dough with a thin layer of the egg wash. The crust is now ready to be blind-baked.
• Peanut Butter Pie Dough: Cut a piece of parchment about 5 inches square. Spread 68 g (1/4 cup creamy peanut butter) in a 1/2-inch-thick layer on the paper and freeze until fairly firm, about 1 hour. Cut into cubes and use in place of 57 g (2 oz) (4 tablespoons) of the butter.
• To Blind Bake A Single Pie: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C), preferably with a baking stone on the bottom rack. Cut a square of parchment paper slightly larger than the pie pan.
• Prick the chilled dough all over with a fork. Place the parchment over the crust and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
• Bake the crust on the stone or bottom rack just until the edges barely begin to turn golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Take the pan out of the oven and remove the parchment and weights.
• Return the pie pan to the oven and bake for another 12 to 17 minutes, until the dough is evenly golden brown. Cool the crust completely before filling it.
