Here's another delicious recipe inspired by this year's Academy Awards. If you've seen Best Picture nominee "The Help" then you'll know there is a very special pie in the film. Don't worry, this version eliminates Minny's 'special ingredient'. Instead, you'll love the added crunch of the Heath bar. Mmmm...
Ingredients
Makes 1 9" (23 cm) pie
Crust:
3 cups (240 g) vanilla wafers, lightly crushed
¼ cup (60 g) unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons (25 g) sugar
Filling:
8 ounces (230 g) semisweet chocolate chips
¼ cup (60 mL) milk
8 ounces (230 g) cream cheese, softened
¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon (5 mL) vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups (595 mL) heavy cream, divided
2 tablespoons (25 g) sugar
Garnish:
1 Heath Bar, chopped
Directions
Place vanilla wafers and butter into a food processor and process until an even crumb mixture forms.
Press mixture into the bottom of a 9" (23 cm) pie dish and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, to set.
For the filling: Place the chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons (30 mL) milk into a double boiler or microwave safe bowl and melt until smooth. (If using microwave, do so at 60% power for about 3 minutes, stirring every 20 seconds)
In a stand mixer or electric hand mixer, beat together the cream cheese, melted chocolate, remaining milk, sugar, and vanilla. Beat until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl using an electric mixer, beat together the heavy cream and sugar until stiff peaks form.
Fold ⅔ the whipped cream into the chocolate cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and smooth. If desired, allow pie to chill in refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Pour and spread mixture into the prepared pie crust and top with remaining whipped cream. Sprinkle the top with chopped heath bits and serve.
