Chocolate Cereal Pie Crust Recipes

Steps:

• Make the crust: Add the crispy rice cereal to a zip-top bag, seal, and crush into crumbs with a rolling pin. Transfer the crumbs to a large bowl.
• In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until melted and smooth, about 1 minute total.
• Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal crumbs and stir to combine.
• Grease 9½-inch (24-centimeter) pie dish with nonstick spray. Pour the crust mixture into the dish and press into an even layer against the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
• Chill in the refrigerator while you make the mousse.
• Make the chocolate hazelnut mousse: Microwave the chocolate hazelnut spread for 30 seconds. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, beat the cold heavy cream with an electric hand mixer until soft peaks form. Add the sugar and beat to incorporate.
• Using a rubber spatula, fold the warm chocolate hazelnut spread into the whipped cream until incorporated.
• Remove the crust from the refrigerator and pour in the mousse. Spread in an even layer.
• Cover the pie with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
• Make the crispy rice topping: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Add the sugar to a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook without stirring for 1-2 minutes, until the sugar begins to caramelize. Swirl it around in the pan to help caramelize evenly.
• Once the sugar is light amber in color, reduce the heat to low and add the butter. Use a rubber spatula to stir until the butter is melted, then turn off the heat. Add the crispy rice cereal and toasted hazelnuts and quickly stir to coat.
• Transfer the topping to the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with the salt. Use two forks to separate the mixture into smaller chunks, being careful not to touch the hot sugar with your hands. Let cool completely, about 15 minutes. The topping can be made 1 day ahead. Store in an airtight container once cooled.
• When ready to serve, remove the pie from the freezer. Decorate the top with the crispy rice topping. Let the pie sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing with a sharp knife. Warm the blade in hot water and wipe between each cut for clean slices.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
• Add the marshmallows and stir until melted. Add the crispy rice cereal and stir to coat.
• While the crispy rice cereal mix is still warm, transfer them to a greased 10-inch (25 cm) springform pan.
• Using a greased measuring cup, press down into the cereal to form to the pan. Press the edges against the springform pan to create walls. Set aside.
• Place the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl and pour the heavy cream on top. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted, about 1 minute.
• In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
• Pour in the melted chocolate and stir to incorporate.
• Add 1½ cups (90 g) of whipped cream to the chocolate mixture and fold with a spatula until combined.
• Pour the cheesecake mixture into the crispy rice base and smooth the top with a spatula.
• Refrigerate for 3-4 hours or overnight, until the cheesecake is set. Release the springform.
• Put the remaining cup of whipped cream in a piping bag fitted with a star tip and decorate the top of the cheesecake.
• Use a vegetable peeler to shave the chocolate into the middle of the cheesecake.
• Slice and serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Roll or grind the breakfast cereal. There should be 1 1/2 cups after crushing.
• Combine with the melted butter, sugar (if using), and cinnamon.
• An easy way to form the crust is after mixing to press another pie pan of the same diameter firmly into the dough. When the top pan is removed a crust of even thickness is underneath.
• Trim any excess that is forced to the top edge.
• Crumb crusts need not be baked before filling, but if used unbaked, must be first chilled thoroughly or the filling will immediately disintegrate the crust.
• If baked before filling, they require a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes. It is best to cool the empty baked shell before filling.
• Fill a prebaked shell with chiffon fillings, bavarian creams, or gelatin whips topped with sweetened whipped cream, or with custard or fruit filling, which may be covered with a high meringue.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Place cereal in resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag and finely crush with rolling pin or meat mallet until it resembles graham cracker crumbs (or finely crush in food processor).
• In medium bowl, mix crust ingredients until blended. Press crust mixture evenly and firmly in bottom and up sides of 9-inch glass pie plate.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until firm. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, cook milk and pudding mix over medium heat 5 to 8 minutes or until mixture comes to a full boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add chips; stir until chips are melted and smooth. Pour into medium bowl; cover surface of pudding with plastic wrap. Refrigerate about 2 hours or until cold.
• Spoon and spread pudding evenly into crust. Refrigerate at least 4 hours until set. Top each serving with whipped topping and chocolate curl.

Steps:

• Make the crust: Heat oven to 350 degrees with a rack in the middle position. Combine cornflakes, sugar and salt in a food processor and process until finely ground. (You should have about 1 1/2 cups). Add butter and pulse until the mixture looks like wet sand.
• Transfer cornflake mixture to a standard 9-inch pie plate. Using the bottom of a flat-bottomed measuring cup, press the mixture up the sides and into the bottom of the pie plate. Bake on the middle rack until dry and deeper golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. (If the crust slumps or puffs while it bakes, gently press it back into place while still warm with the measuring cup and proceed.) Let cool completely.
• Make the filling: Whisk the egg yolks, egg, honey, sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium saucepan. Whisk in milk and cream and place over medium-high heat. Cook, whisking continuously, until mixture thickens and starts to bubble, 4 to 7 minutes. Continue to cook, whisking continuously, for 1 minute more. Pour mixture into the cooled crust and spread in an even layer. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding and refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours and up to overnight.
• To serve: Beat cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Dollop cream on top of pie, top with plums and drizzle with honey if desired.

Steps:

• For crust:.
• melt butter in saucepan over medium heat.
• Add chips and melt.
• add rice cereal and mix til well coated.

• remove from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla.
• transfer to a bowl.
• place a piece of cling wrap on surface to pervent a skin from forming.
• cool pudding
• pour into cooled pie shell and refrigerate for 2 hours or until set.
• top with whipped cream.
• Cook time includes the 2 hour chill time.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Add Oreos to the bowl of a food processor and process until fine crumbs form. Add melted butter and salt, and process until crumbs are evenly moistened. Tip mixture out into a 9-inch pie plate, and press crumbs evenly into bottom and sides of pan. Bake until crust is fragrant and set, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool.
• Set a fine mesh sieve over a medium bowl. In a medium saucepan, whisk together granulated sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder and salt. Pouring just a little at first, whisk the milk into the sugar mixture until you have a smooth paste. Gradually add remaining milk, whisking constantly. Whisk in egg yolks. Cook mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it has thickened and just come up to a low boil, about 8 to 9 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
• Pour custard through sieve, pushing it through with a rubber spatula. Discard any solids. Stir in chocolate, butter and vanilla, and let it stand for 1 minute. Stir until smooth. Pour mixture into prepared crust. Let cool slightly, then cover loosely with plastic wrap and chill until firm, at least 6 hours.
• To serve, whip cream and confectioners' sugar until soft peaks form. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with crushed Oreos, if using.

Steps:

• Heat marshmallows, syrup and butter until marshmallows have melted.
• Pour mixture over cereal and stir until coated.
• (Save 1/2 cup mixture to sprinkle over top of an ice cream pie, if desired.) Press cereal into greased 9" pie pan.
• Freeze.
• Fill shell with filling of your choice.
