I first posted this last September and since Summer is right around the corner I thought it was worth reposting. I made this again this past weekend. Instead of the semi-sweet chocolate chips I used Valrhona chocolate (66% cacao) and melted that for the crust. I also made two sauces, one being a caramel and the other a homemade sweetened condensed milk. I drizzled both all over the plate, place a slice on top and then topped it with homemade whipped cream. Talk about a crowd pleaser! Even people who normally do not eat dessert, gobbled this one up. And it is almost criminal how easy this pie is to make. The best part is, no one will ever know. Shhhhhhh!
My family is still debating which is better, the dulce de leche version or the chocolate raspberry pie (pictured above.) The second time I made it, I filled the shell with vanilla bean ice cream. And then I made a raspberry sauce using raspberries, sugar and framboise liqueur. Then I strained out the seeds and chilled the sauce. When I served the pie, I drizzled the sauce on top and garnished with some fresh raspberries. Out-of-this-world-delicious! The best part is that it couldn't get any easier!
I am telling you, save the above recipe for the basic chocolate crust and you will not be sorry. The possibilities are endless. I cannot wait for peppermint stick ice cream to come out during the holidays. The saliva is already filling my mouth!
