Chocolate Covered Strawberry Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Place 2 ounces chocolate and 2 tablespoons butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in the microwave on 30% power for 2 1/2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Spread over the bottom and up the sides of the pie crust. Place crust in the freezer.
• Beat cream cheese using an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in sour cream, sugar, and vanilla bean paste. Remove crust from freezer and pour in filling.
• Combine strawberries and jam in a bowl and spread on top of the cream cheese layer.
• Combine remaining chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave until melted, about 1 minutes. Drizzle over the pie using a spoon. Refrigerate pie for about 30 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Make the crust: Heat oven to 350 degrees with a rack in the middle position. Place cookies, 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 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 set, 20 to 25 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: Place 3 tablespoons cold water in a small bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over top and let stand until softened, about 5 minutes. In a large bowl, whisk together sour cream and vanilla until smooth. Combine cream, sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Whisk in gelatin mixture until completely dissolved, then whisk cream mixture into sour cream. Pour filling into cooled crust and refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours and up to 2 days. (If making ahead, wrap tightly once set).
• Toss strawberries with sugar, if needed, and let sit for 10 minutes. Pile strawberries and any accumulated juices on top of pie just before serving.
