Almond Chocolate Ganache Pie AND Almond Chocolate Ganache Dulce de Leche Cheesecake Squares, or Bars! Yum! #ChocolateGanache #Chocolate #Pie #PieCrust #PieShell #Almonds #EasyRecipes #CookingWithAilsa!

Almond Chocolate Ganache Pie
AND
Almond Chocolate Ganache Dulce de Leche Cheesecake Squares, or Bars! Yum!

Haha! This is the very fancy, and VERY delicious Almond
Chocolate Ganache Pie that I made for myself, for my own birthday - lol! The other name for it was my Concoction Pie, thinking of what to put in it, as I went along - haha! I should write the recipe down! Lol! 😉😋😍🍫🥧

Okay, here I am to finally write down the recipe, formerly only in my head - lol! 


Almond Pie Shell 
Easy Schmeasy Pie Crust! #LowCholesterol Pie Crust🥧⚕️ Make this right in the plate – no rolling! 1 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour 2 tbsp. Sugar Quick Dash of Salt
Liquid Ingredients - pour into a glass or jar, give them a good shake, then mix into Dry Ingredients, right in the Pie Plate or Dish : )

½ cup Vegetable Oil 2 Tbsp Milk
2 Tbsp Vodka (Obviously optional, but the Vodka makes for a very flakey pie crust - Yay!)
2 Tsp Almond Extract (Don't worry if you don't have any Almond Extract - is just a nice option!)

Just Press the pastry pie crust into your pie plate, or 9" X 13" Pan if you want to make Bars or Squares - all good, baby, no worries! You'll love it all!

Pop your pie Crust into the oven to bake, while you're getting the rest of the pie ready : )

Remember to poke the Pie Pastry with a fork, so air can escape - just random poking with a fork, or, make a little pattern - whatever you like, Baby-Cakes! lol!





I make up little baggies of the Base Mix for the Pie Crusts - makes it super fast and easy, the next time you want to make some pies! Yahoo! #Lifehack!


This is how this whole Almond Chocolate Ganache Dulce de Leche Pie came into being - I had to use up this other little treat that I had made, and couldn't get it to set as neatly as I wanted it to set... and then a whole new Pie was born - lol!



I think I just poured the Chocolate Ganache on an Oatmeal Cookie Base - is all good - you can't go wrong with a Chocolate Ganache poured over anything - cake, brownies, cheesecake, pies that like chocolate - lol! 


You're just gonna rough-chop your chocolate - any chocolate will work, including chocolate chips, if that's what you have in the house, but I really like the Suisse Chocolate Nougat, like the Toblerone Bars - kind of a Toblerone knock-off, so, if you got it like that, go ahead and use the real Toblerone - haha! 


Pie Filling

1 can Evaporated Milk

Cheesecake Filling (Optional, Very Nice!)
1 pkg Cream Cheese (8 oz, 250g each) 1/2 Cup Sugar 1 Tbsp Cornstarch 2 Tsp Vanilla 2 Tsp Lemon Juice 2 Eggs  

So you can straight up just go with a can of Evaporated Milk, pour that straight on your pie shell (take it out the oven, it'll already have started baking, then pour on the Condensed Milk, then back in the oven while you make the Chocolate Ganache and, if you like, the cheesecake filling - that is optional, but VERY nice - ah'yum!

Pour onto the Pie Shell and pop back in the oven - for the Cheesecake, bake the Cheesecake for about 45 Minutes at 350 - the top will crack, and you want that! 


How To Make The Chocolate Ganache! Yay! So Easy! 

Chocolate Ganache Recipe

8 Pieces of Chocolate

1 Cup Heavy Cream (Whipping Cream)

3 Pads of Butter (3 Tbsp Butter)

Directions: 
Rough Chop about 8 pieces of Chocolate - any chocolate you like - I like Suisse Chocolate

Heat up the Whipping Cream on the stove, along with the 3 pads of Butter, then stir in your Chocolate - the chocolate will melt pretty quickly - stir until completely melted and smooth - so good!

Pour your Chocolate Ganache over the Pie, Cake, Squares - anything you like - is super easy! Yay! 

Pop in the fridge until set : ) 

If you want to add Almond Slices, you can sprinkle the Almond slices  each layer, like, op of the Condensed Milk, then pour on the Chocolate Ganache, then re Almond Slices of the Chocolate Ganache - then pop in the fridge, let it set, completely - will take at least a few hours - is good to make this delightful Almond Chocolate Pie the night before, then it will definitely be set, and easy to cut neatly! Yum!

Baked Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Squares😋

1 pkg Cream Cheese (8 oz, 250g each) 1/2 Cup Sugar 1 Tbsp Cornstarch 2 Tsp Vanilla 2 Tsp Lemon Juice 2 Eggs  
Chocolate Chips (Pour in about a cup - I just pour them in - lol!)
White Chocolate Chips (Will give it a caramel taste! Yum!)

Pour onto a Shortbread Base
1 Cup Flour
1/2 Cup Corn Starch
1/2 Cup Icing Sugar
3/4 Cup Margarine or Butter, melted 

Press into pan 😊 (Bake at 350 for 15 minutes, take out the oven, pour on the Cheesecake Mix)





Press down with your fingers (fingees! haha!), 'fork it', pop in the oven at 350 for about 15 minutes : )

You can make pin pricks in the Shortbread 'Pastry' with a fork🍴 

Double Batch of Shortbread (You might as well make a lot, then you can make some delicious Shortbread Cookies, too! Yay!! lol!)
2 Cups Flour

1 Cup Icing Sugar


1 Cup Corn Starch


1 1/2 Cups Margarine or Butter, or a mix of both (3 bricks of margarine, melted, 1 minute in the microwave, baby!)


Some Sugar to sprinkle on top of the cookies


This Chocolate Chip Cheesecake is insanely easy to make - you can skip the Chocolate Chips, if you like, or add in some Cranberries, that's always a delightful mix, the Chocolate Chips and Dried Cranberries - ah'Yum!

Most Baked Cheesecakes call for sooo much Cream Cheese, or soo many eggs... anyway, this Baked Cheesecake is super fast and easy, won't use up too many ingredients, and is a no-fail recipe - yippee! 

No one wants to waste expensive ingredients in the kitchen, right? Or waste their time - you just want a great recipe that works every time, and tastes amazing - that's not too much to ask for - lol! 

Some more pics of the process - the Shortbread will look 'crumbly', but comes together very easily when you mold it in your hands, then press it into the pan for the base, and if you have any left, roll it into fat 'snakes', cut in slices, sprinkle with sugar, then bake on Parchment Paper for about 10-18 minutes, until very lightly golden on the bottom : ) 

Then you'll have delicious Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Squares AND Shortbread! Yay!!!





I think I bake the Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Squares for about an hour - just bake until it's golden, like most things you bake - lol! 




 




 Fruit Pie Cheesecake Squares - Ah'Yum!

This is another alternative to making the Cheesecake Squares - the other day, I made a large batch of the Shortbread, for the base, used half, popped the other half in the fridge, for later... 

So, on top of the Shortbread Base, baked at 350 for 15 minutes, first...

Take your Cheesecake Base:

1 pkg Cream Cheese (8 oz, 250g each) 1/2 Cup Sugar 1 Tbsp Cornstarch 2 Tsp Vanilla 2 Tsp Lemon Juice 2 Eggs  

Add whatever Fruit you have in the house - we had the bottom of the bag of Frozen Berries, so we just tossed that in, beat it to mix well, pour that right on the crust - will be soooo delicious! 

Bake about 50 minutes, leave it the oven, after you turn the oven off, if you like, let it cool, then pop into the fridge : )

Cut into bite-size pieces - yum! Is heavenly!
