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