Cocoa Crispy Rice Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse Pie Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C). Line a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with parchment paper and grease with nonstick spray.
• In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat until browned, 2-3 minutes. Using a plastic spatula, stir in the marshmallows and vanilla until completely melted. Turn off the heat, add the puffed rice cereal, and stir until well coated in the melted marshmallows.
• Spread half of the cereal mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Chill in the freezer for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, keep the remaining cereal mixture covered in a warm place.
• Spread the chocolate-hazelnut spread evenly across the first layer of crispy rice treats, then sprinkle the mini marshmallows on top. Place the pan in the oven for 2-3 minutes, until the tops of the marshmallows are golden brown. Transfer to the freezer to set for 5-10 minutes.
• Spread the rest of the cereal mixture evenly over the toasted marshmallow layer. (If the crispy rice mixture becomes too stiff, microwave in 2- second intervals until malleable.)
• Let the treats cool completely, about 20 minutes, then invert onto a cutting board and cut into 2-inch squares.
• Enjoy!

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.
