Mocha Pecan Pie With Coffee Whipped Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Combine crushed crackers and 2 tablespoons sugar with melted butter. Using the bottom of a glass, press cracker mixture onto bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-in. deep-dish pie plate. Bake until set, 12-15 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack., Meanwhile, mix cold water and coffee granules until blended. Sprinkle gelatin over coffee mixture; let stand 5 minutes. Microwave chocolate chips and 1/4 cup cream on high until chips are melted; stir until smooth. Stir gelatin into chocolate mixture until smooth. Cool slightly. , Beat cream cheese and remaining sugar until smooth. Gradually beat in remaining cream. Beat in chocolate mixture until blended. Transfer filling to crust. Refrigerate, covered, until set, about 2 hours., If desired, drizzle with caramel and chocolate syrups.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 F.
• For the crust, cut the butter into the flour with a pastry knife until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
• Add about 3 Tbsp water and combine until dough forms a ball.
• Roll it out on lightly floured board.
• Place crust in 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges.
• To make filling, place all of the filling ingredients, except the pecans, into a blender or food processor and puree until the chocolate chips are completely ground up and everything is smooth.
• Pour the filling over the pecans in a bowl, and stir just enough to coat the nuts.
• Pour the filling into the pie shell.
• Bake at 400 F for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 F and bake another 30 minutes or until the filling is set but still moist.
• Cool completely before cutting.

Steps:

• For Crust:
• Combine first 4 ingredients in processor. Using on/off turns, cut in butter and shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal. Blend in orange juice and enough water by tablespoonfuls to form moist clumps. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic and chill 1 hour. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated. Soften dough slightly at room temperature before rolling.) Preheat oven to 350° F. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 12-inch-diameter round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Trim edges and crimp decoratively. Freeze 15 minutes. Line crust with foil; fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake 15 minutes. Remove foil and beans. Bake crust until pale golden, about 10 minutes. Cool on rack.
• For Filling:
• Melt butter in heavy small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in cocoa, then cream and espresso powder. Pour into large bowl. Add corn syrup, sugar, eggs, vanilla and salt; whisk until well blended. Stir in pecans. Pour filling into pie crust. Bake until puffed and set, about 1 hour. Transfer to rack and cool completely. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and let stand at room temperature.)
• Cut pie into wedges. Transfer to plates. Serve with dollops of Coffee Whipped Cream.

Steps:

• Make the crust:
• In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, butter, and shortening. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal with some small (roughly pea-size) lumps of butter. Transfer to a large bowl.
• In a small bowl, stir together the sugar, salt, and 4 tablespoons ice water. Using a fork, gradually stir the ice-water mixture into the flour mixture-the dough will be in rough, rather stiff clumps. If there is unincorporated flour in the bottom of the bowl, drizzle in more ice water, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, and use the fork to gently incorporate it. Do not overwork the dough, or the pastry will be tough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface, gather into a ball, and flatten into a roughly 1-inch-thin disk. Wrap in plastic and chill at least 1 hour. DO AHEAD: The dough can be made ahead and stored, wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator, up to 2 days or frozen, up to 1 week; defrost in the refrigerator before proceeding.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 12-inch round then transfer to a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Trim the edge, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang, then fold the overhang under and crimp the edge decoratively. Using a fork, prick the bottom and sides of the pie shell all over then chill for 30 minutes. DO AHEAD: The pie shell can be assembled to this point and stored, wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator, up to 2 days, or frozen, up to 1 week; defrost in the refrigerator before continuing.
• Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 400°F.
• Lightly butter a 15-inch round of foil and lay it, butter-side-down, inside the chilled pie shell then gently press to line the shell snugly. Fill the pie shell with pie weights or dried beans and bake until the pastry is set and pale golden along the edge, about 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F. Carefully remove the weights or beans and the foil and bake the shell until pale golden all over, 8 to 10 minutes more. Brush the entire pastry surface with the lightly beaten egg yolk, and cool completely.
• Make the filling:
• Arrange a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350°F.
• In a large bowl, combine the pecans, chocolate, and flour, and toss to combine.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter and brown sugar and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add the corn syrup, molasses, coffee-flavored liqueur, vanilla, and salt and beat until incorporated (if the mixture appears to be separating or isn't combining, swap the paddle attachment for the whisk attachment and whisk until incorporated). Pour over the chocolate-pecan mixture and stir well to combine. Pour the mixture into the cooled pie shell and bake until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. DO AHEAD: The pie can be baked, cooled, and stored, wrapped in a double-layer of plastic and refrigerated, up to 3 days.
• Make the coffee whipped cream:
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or a large mixing bowl with a handheld mixer, whip the cream, sugar, and coffee-flavored liqueur until the cream holds soft peaks.
• To serve:
• Just before serving, cut slices into the pie then warm the whole pie in a 325°F oven until just heated through, about 8 minutes. Serve slices topped with dollops of coffee whipped cream.

Steps:

• Cut cookie dough in half widthwise; let one half stand at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften (save the other half for another use). , Press dough onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-in. pie plate. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 11-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack., In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and milk until smooth. Beat in marshmallow creme. Dissolve coffee granules in water. Fold the coffee, whipped topping and 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup into the cream cheese mixture. Pour into cooled crust. Chill for 1 hour. , Just before serving, sprinkle with nuts and drizzle with remaining chocolate syrup.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Process cookies, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor until fine crumbs form, 15 to 30 seconds. Add butter and pulse to combine, 5 to 10 times. Press cookie mixture in the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake, on a baking sheet, until crust is dry and set, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool on a rack.
• Place chocolate chips in a bowl. Whisk together cornstarch, egg yolks, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Whisk in half-and-half and coffee. Cook over medium low heat, whisking constantly, until thickened and the whisk holds a trail, 6 to 8 minutes. Strain over chocolate chips.
• Transfer pudding to a cooled crust and smooth top. Press plastic wrap directly on surface of pudding. Chill, at least 4 hours.
• Discard plastic wrap. Whip cream and 2 tablespoons sugar to medium peaks and dollop over chilled pie.
• Serve topped with shaved chocolate.
