How to make Brownie Brittle Peppermint Chocolate Pie

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 15

Crust
2 cups Brownie Brittle crumbs (about 8 oz)
5 tbsp butter, melted
Filling
2 cups milk
2 tbsp + 2 tsp cornstarch
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 tsp peppermint extract
Chocolate Ganache
6 oz semi sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy cream
Topping
Peppermint crunch baking chips
Whipped cream
Chocolate sauce, if desired

Steps:

  • Grease a 9 inch pie pan.
  • Add melted butter to brownie brittle crumbs and mix until combined.
  • Press brownie brittle mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch pie pan, then set aside.
  • Whisk the cornstarch and 1/4 cup milk together in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Add chocolate chips and remaining milk to a sauce pan and melt on med-low heat until smooth, whisking to keep from burning.
  • Once melted, add cornstarch mixture and peppermint extract and whisk together.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking constantly. It will begin to thicken.
  • Once boiling, whisk continuously for about 2 minutes, until fully thickened.
  • Pour mixture into crust.
  • Refrigerate for about an hour, then make ganache.
  • To make the ganache, put chocolate chips into a metal bowl.
  • Put heavy cream into a microwave safe bowl, or glass measuring cup. Microwave until it begins to boil, then remove and pour over the chocolate.
  • Immediately cover tightly with clear wrap and let sit for about 5 minutes.
  • Remove wrap and whisk until smooth.
  • Grap pie from refrigerator and pour ganache over top of the pie, spreading into an even layer.
  • Refrigerate pie until completely set, another hour or two.
  • Once ready to serve, top pie with whipped cream, peppermint crunch baking pieces and chocolate sauce.
