Hot Chocolate Pie Bars Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray.
• Make the crust: Add the chocolate sandwich cookies and granulated sugar to a food processor and process into fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse 4 times, or until the crumbs are moistened.
• Press the crust mixture evenly against the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan, leaving ½ inch of space from the top of the pan.
• Bake for 10 minutes, until the crust begins to puff slightly. Remove from the oven and transfer to the refrigerator to chill for 25-30 minutes.
• Make the filling: In a small bowl, whisk together the hot water, cocoa powder, and vanilla until smooth.
• In a medium, microwavable-safe bowl, combine the chopped Godiva® Signature Collection Dark Chocolate Mini Bars and ¼ cup of heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals until melted, 1 minute total. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
• Add the cocoa mixture to the bowl of melted chocolate and whisk to combine.
• In a large bowl, whip the remaining 2¾ cups of heavy cream with an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 5 minutes. Transfer 1⅓ cups of whipped cream to a separate bowl and set aside.
• Add the granulated sugar and salt to the bowl with the remaining whipped cream and whip on low speed for 30 seconds, until fully combined. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the chocolate mixture, ⅓ at a time, until incorporated and smooth. With the hand mixer, beat once more for 30 seconds to stiffen.
• Remove the crust from the refrigerator and pour the filling evenly on top. Freeze for 1 hour, until the filling is firm.
• Meanwhile, add the powdered sugar to the reserved whipped cream and whip on low speed until smooth, 1 minute. Transfer the whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with an open star tip and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Remove the pie from the freezer and pipe 10 dollops of whipped cream around the edges. Place a square of Godiva® Signature Collection Dark Chocolate Mini Bar on each of the whipped cream dollops.
• Cut the pie into 6-8 slices and use a vegetable peeler to shave curls of the remaining Godiva® Signature Collection Dark Chocolate Mini Bar on top of each slice.
• Enjoy!
