Chocolate Crisp Pie Crust Recipes

Steps:

• Mix crumbs and melted butter or margarine until well blended. Press into an 8 or 9 inch pie plate. Chill until firm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the butter and a third of the coconut in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Process until mixture forms a ball, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Sprinkle remaining coconut over mixture, and combine with your fingers.
• Place an 8-inch tart pan with a removable bottom on a baking sheet. Press coconut mixture into bottom and up sides of pan to form a crust, leaving top edges loose and fluffy. Place a ring of aluminum foil over edge to prevent burning. Bake until center begins to brown, 10 to 15 minutes; remove foil, and cook until edges are browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Place chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. Bring cream just to a boil in a small saucepan, and pour over chocolate. Let sit 10 minutes, and stir until chocolate is melted and combined. Let cool, and pour into coconut crust. Cover with plastic wrap, and transfer to refrigerator until filling is set, at least 1 hour. Cut into wedges, and serve.

• 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.
• Enjoy!
