love a good chocolate pie. And this looks like a keeper. I'll try it this
weekend. With the graham cracker crust.
Thanks,

Unless you have an allergy to nuts, why not try crushed walnuts or
pecans instead of graham cracker crumbs? I'm thinking that I might try
it that way myself.

Default Warp Drive Chocolate Pie

Er- just what did the Lords comment? Sounds delicious. Of course, over here
in choc-chip-free territory, I'd be forced to use something like Valrhona or
the Lindt 75%.
Poor me.

Warp Drive Chocolate Pie

12 oz bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips
5 egg yolks (no whites)
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons brandy or other liquor (try Gran Marnier)
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 Graham cracker or Oreo Cookie pie crust - 8"

Put first 4 ingredients in a blender. Blend on low 1 minute. Heat the 1
1/2 cups heavy cream just to boiling. Pour into blender. Blend on high
for 1 minute. Pour into crust. Chill for at least 3 hours uncovered in
the refrigerator.
The hot cream melts the chocolate and cooks the eggs. This recipe is VERY
rich. The slices should be about 1" wide. Can't eat much more than that.
Try drizzling with a raspberry sauce right before serving. I gave this
recipe to a friend of mine in the UK. He served it to several members of
the House of Lords. He said it was the first time any of them commented
on anything he'd ever served them.

Merry Xmas to all.

Default Warp Drive Chocolate Pie

The filling sounds gorgeous, but I need a translation about the pie
crust.

At first I thought it was a pastry shell, but on re-reading think it
must be one of thos wizzed up biscuits and butter ones.

I know Oreos are chocolate flavoured biscuits, but have never met
Grahams Crackers. Here cream crackers are a very dry biscuit for
cheese - ooops, have just realised that your biscuits are called
crackers, and your biscuits are a sort of scone, so now I'm even more
confused! It can't be a 'for cheese' variety.....

Or am I completely confused and its some ready made shell you buy?

We can get choc chips but they work out much much more expensive than
'proper' chocolate. Incidently, for those of us with Tescos their (I
think 75%) cooking chocolate is much cheaper than anyone elses (about
79p and was recommended by by a local chef who'se speciality is
desserts.

Oh my! This is going to be difficult. A graham cracker is a cross
between a cookie and a cracker. It is slightly sweet but is made with
graham flour and so has a grainy texture and taste. It makes an
excellent pie shell for most cream type pies. So, yes a graham cracker
crust is a wizzed up biscuit and butter one but is not so sweet as a
sugar biscuit crust would be. In the case of this pie, I just can't get
my head around the combination of the intense chocolate and the graham
crackers. I am going to try it with "wizzed up" walnuts and butter.

If I remember correctly there really is no equivilant to the graham
cracker :/ To give you a better idea of what might replace it (or to
allow you to make it yourself) here is a recipe

Hope that helps some

We don't have them either. But basically any "plain" sweet biscuit (biscuit
as the British Commonwealth would know it - LOL) will do.

I often use a crumb base for my unbaked cheesecakes and pies but I usually
make it up on the day. Biscuits and butter is the basic mix. But I
normally cut down on the butter and add some copha to get a nice hard set
shell. This is easier to cut in slices without crumbling, and it holds firm
outside the fridge better. It also cuts down on the rich buttery taste. I
add nuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, icing sugar and/or coconut - depending on the
filling. And for my fabulous creme de menthe pie I add cocoa and coconut
for a beautiful dark choc base with the lovely light green creamy filling.

There is nothing politically or medically correct about my desert cooking!!!

Rich tea biscuits. Put them in a big plastic bag and bash with a
rolling pin. Works for me.

Shredded brazil nuts with a couple tablespoons of sugar form easily,
and if you bake it for a few minutes it will hold shape sufficiently
to serve fairly well. Brazil nuts are oily enough that you don't have
to add any extra fat to make it work.

Default Warp Drive Chocolate Pie

This is similar to the dessert I make my DH for his birthday every year::
12 oz. bag chocolate chips
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
4 beaten egg yolks
Combine in a double boiler and cook for 2 minutes--cool:
Add:
4 beaten egg whites
1 pt. cream-whipped
Break an angel food cake into pieces Layer cake and chocolate mixture.
Refrigerate.
I don't layer-just mix it all together.
