Double Chocolate Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a 2-quart saucepan. Stir in milk gradually. Add chocolate chips and unsweetened chocolate. Place over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute.
• Place egg yolks in a medium heatproof bowl. Gradually pour half of chocolate mixture into egg yolks, whisking constantly.
• Whisk egg yolk mixture back into mixture in saucepan. Place over medium heat and bring back to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla extract.
• Pour mixture into baked pie shell. Press a layer of plastic wrap onto filling. Refrigerate at least 4 hours but no longer than 48 hours. Remove plastic wrap before serving and top with whipped topping.

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Pulse the cookies in a food processor until finely chopped. With the processor running, add the butter. Press the crumbs into the bottoms of four 4 1/4-inch disposable aluminum pie pans. Bake until set, about 5 minutes. Let cool.
• For the filling: In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the chocolate until melted. Set aside to cool a bit.
• In a mixer with a whisk attachment, beat together the sugar and butter until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Drizzle in the melted chocolate and add the vanilla. Beat thoroughly until combined.
• Turn the mixer to medium speed and add in the eggs 1 at a time, leaving about 5 minutes between each egg addition. Once the pie filling is well mixed, pour it into the baked pie shells, scraping every last speck of it out of the bowl. Smooth out the filling and place the pies in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours, preferably longer. When ready to serve, top with whipped cream.

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk 3/4 cup milk and chocolate pudding mix for 2 minutes or until thickened. Fold in 1-3/4 cups whipped topping. Spread into crust. , In another bowl, whisk the remaining milk and the white chocolate pudding mix for 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Fold in remaining whipped topping. Spread over chocolate layer. Refrigerate for 4 hours or until set. Garnish with chocolate curls if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the crust: Pulse the graham crackers in a food processor or crush in a resealable plastic bag until they are fine crumbs. Add the crumbs to a bowl and stir in the melted butter and sugar. Press the mixture into a pie pan and bake until set, about 4 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool completely.
• For the filling: Stir together the cornstarch, sugar and salt in a large saucepan over medium heat. Pour in the milk and beaten egg yolks. Cook, stirring, until the mixture comes to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate, butter and vanilla. Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled shell until it's filled to the brim. (You may have some left over.) Smooth the top of the pie, then gently press a piece of wax paper over the filling and chill until set, 3 to 4 hours. Store any leftover filling covered in the fridge for another use or snacking.
• For the meringue: Add the sugar, corn syrup, 2 tablespoons water and a pinch of salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved completely. Remove from the heat.
• Add the egg whites to the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat the egg whites on medium speed until frothy, about 1 minute. Add the cream of tartar and the remaining pinch salt and continue beating for 30 seconds. With the machine running on medium speed, drizzle the hot syrup mixture into the mixing bowl in a constant stream, then turn the speed to high and whip until the mixture forms stiff peaks (about 3 minutes).
• Remove the chilled pie from the fridge and discard the wax paper. Spread the meringue over the top of the chilled pie, making sure to get it to the edges. With the back of a spoon, lightly press into the meringue, lifting the spoon away, to create peaks. Toast the meringue with a brulee torch to the desired color. Slice and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray.
• In a food processor, process the graham crackers until finely ground. Add butter and water and process until the crumbs clump together. Press the crumb mixture into bottom of pie plate and about 1-inch up the sides. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.

• Remove from the heat. Add the chocolate and stir until melted. Stir in the vanilla and reserved gelatin. Pour the mixture into the pie crust and let set for 3 hours in the refrigerator.
• Whip the cream and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of sugar. Before serving, garnish the pie with the whipped cream.
