Chocolate Pumpkin Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Combine sugar, light brown sugar, cornstarch, salt, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and cloves in a large saucepan. Stir in the pumpkin, evaporated milk, and egg yolks until well combined.
• Heat saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, 8 to 9 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate pieces, butter, and vanilla extract until butter and chocolate have melted and are well incorporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour filling into prepared crust and chill in the refrigerator until firm, at least 4 hours.
• Garnish with whipped cream.

Steps:

• Make the crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine graham cracker crumbs, butter, sugars, salt, and cinnamon in bowl. Firmly press mixture into bottom and up sides of a deep, 9 1/2-inch pie dish. Bake until firm, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove from oven, and sprinkle bittersweet chocolate over bottom of crust. Return to oven to melt chocolate, about 1 minute. Spread chocolate in a thin layer on bottom and up sides. Let cool on a wire rack. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees.
• Make the filling: In a large heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt semisweet chocolate and butter, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat.
• Mix pumpkin, milk, brown sugar, eggs, cornstarch, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and a pinch of cloves in a medium bowl. Whisk 1/3 pumpkin mixture into chocolate mixture. Whisk in remaining pumpkin mixture until completely incorporated.
• Transfer pie dish to a rimmed baking sheet, and pour pumpkin mixture into crust. Bake until center is set but still a bit wobbly, 55 to 60 minutes. Let cool in pie dish on a wire rack. Refrigerate until well chilled, at least 8 hours (preferably overnight). Before serving, drizzle melted milk chocolate on top. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl add the eggs, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla and whisk well.
• Put 1 cup of cream and the pumpkin puree in a saucepan and bring to a simmer on low heat, stirring constantly. Once the cream has begun to simmer, spoon about 1 cup of the pumpkin mixture into the egg mixture and whisk until incorporated. Pour the egg mixture into the pumpkin mixture, whisk together and simmer for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
• Arrange a layer of chocolate wafers in the bottom of a 9-inch springform cake pan. Overlap the cookies a bit.
• Whisk the mascarpone into the cooled pumpkin cream. Pour about 1 cup of pumpkin cream over the cookie layer in the pan. Spread the cream evenly with a spatula. Add another layer of cookies over the cream and more cream over the cookies. Repeat until all of the cookies and cream are used. You should end up with a layer of cookies on top.
• Whip the remaining 1 cup heavy cream with 1 tablespoon sugar with a whisk or an electric mixer, until you have stiff peaks. Spread the cream over the pie. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
• Remove the ring from the cake pan, sprinkle the top of the pie with toasted pumpkin seeds and serve.

Steps:

• For the pie crust: Combine the flour, sugar, salt and butter in a food processor and pulse until coarse, with small marbles of butter remaining. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the ice water, then pulse until crumbly and the dough holds together when squeezed. (If too dry, add another sprinkle of water, but do not over mix.) Transfer the dough to a plastic bag, press into a disk and refrigerate for one hour.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Roll out the dough on floured surface, then press it into a deep 9-inch pie plate. Trim the edges to leave 1 inch of overhang, fold it under and flute the edges. Cut a piece of parchment or nonstick foil to the size of the pie plate and use it to line the pie crust. Fill with pie weights and bake until golden, about 15 minutes. Remove the pie weights and return the pie dough to the oven to dry out, about 8 minutes.
• Lower the oven to 325 degrees F.
• For the filling: In a double boiler, melt the semisweet chocolate, bittersweet chocolate and butter, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from the heat.
• In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, light brown sugar, eggs, cornstarch, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and salt. Fold in the melted chocolate mixture. Set the pie plate on a baking sheet and pour the filling into the crust. Bake until the center of the pie has just about set but still has a slight jiggle, about 1 hour. Let cool completely before serving. Top with chocolate shavings.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and place rack on lower 3rd of the oven. Transfer pie dough to a 9-inch pie plate and crimp edges. Refrigerate until firm and well chilled, at least 30 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, melt chocolate and butter, stirring until smooth. Whisk in 1/2 cup maple syrup, cocoa powder and 1 egg until well combined; set aside.
• In a separate bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, heavy cream, pumpkin pie spice blend, 1/4 cup maple syrup, vanilla extract, pinch salt and remaining 3 eggs until well combined. Spoon about 1/4 cup pumpkin mixture into chocolate and whisk to combine.
• Pour half of the pumpkin mixture into the prepared pie crust, then pour in the chocolate mixture. Top with remaining pumpkin and use the back of a knife to make swirls through the layers.
• Bake for 50-60 minutes until filling has a slight jiggle when moved and crust is browned. Cool pie on a wire rack completely before slicing.
• In a small saucepan, heat caramel sauce and pecans over medium low heat. Drizzle over slices of pie to serve.

Steps:

• FOR THE CRUST ~ Whisk together the flour & salt, then with a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the flour & butter mixture resembles coarse meal.
• Toss mixture with a fork, sprinkling on just enough of the ice water to form a cohesive dough, then flatten the coudh into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, & chill in refrigerator for 45 minutes.
• When dough has chilled, roll it out to an 11-inch circle & fit it into a 9-inch pie plate, trimming & crimping the edges.
• Refrigerate the pie plate while making the filling.
• FOR THE PUMPKIN FILLING ~ Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl with an electric mixer, beat brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, ginger & cloves until well mixed.
• Add in the egg, egg white & vanilla, mixing until smooth, then beat in the pumpkin & then the light cream.
• Pour this filling into the chilled pastry shell & bake 40 minutes or until the center is set.
• Remove from the oven & cool the pie on a wire rack until it is room temperature.
• FOR THE CHOCOLATE TOPPING ~ Place chocolate in a small bowl.
• In a small saucepan, bring heavy cream & granulated sugar to a simmer, then stir until sugar is dissolved.
• Pour hot cream over the chocolate, then cover & let stand for 5 minutes, before stirring until smooth.
• Chill the chocolate topping mixture about 30 minutes or until thickened but still pourable.
• Pour chocolate over the pumpkin & chill pie about 1 hour or until chocolate is set, then serve & enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Mix pumpkin puree, eggs, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, ginger, and salt in a large bowl until well combined. Set aside.
