This is a slightly more healthful version of a chocolate mousse pie. I give you two options for the crust and a variety of garnishing ideas. I tested it both ways because I had to, but I think it prudent for me not to have this pie around! Anything with chocolate and/or peanut butter is just too tempting. I kept telling myself — it’s not so bad because the filling has real chocolate and no whip… Then again, even I can indulge on Purim. V’nahafoch hu!
1 Glicks Prepared Graham Cracker Crust or 5 cups pretzels plus 1 cup peanut butter
2 large eggs, separated (optional – plus 1 additional egg white)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup Glicks Chocolate Chips or 175 grams chocolate
3–4 tablespoons Gefen Honey
1/2 cup non-dairy sour cream
8 ounces (225 grams) Kineret Non-Dairy Whipped Topping
2 tablespoons vanilla pudding mix
crushed pretzels
peanut butter chips
mini chocolate chips
candied peanuts
parave caramel syrup
chunks of leftover crust
sprinkles
sugared nuts
If not using prepared graham cracker crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
Place pretzels in the food processor with the knife attachment and process to a fine powder (no pieces). You should have one and half cups of pretzel “flour.”
Pour into a large bowl. Add peanut butter and mix together thoroughly to form a dough-like mass.
Press onto bottom and sides of a 10-inch (25-centimeter) pie pan. (If you have too much, save for topping.)
Bake for eight to 10 minutes or until it sets and turns golden. Set aside to cool.
To prepare the filling, have the separated eggs ready to use.
Place chocolate and honey in a double boiler and stir occasionally until chocolate is melted. Remove from heat and add the yolks, whisking vigorously so they don’t curdle.
Return to heat and continue whisking for about 30 seconds or until mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Remove from heat and stir in parve sour cream until incorporated. Cool slightly.
Beat egg whites and salt until stiff peaks form.
Gently and gradually fold into chocolate mixture.
Spoon the mixture into prepared crust and spread to the edges. Place in freezer until set and firm.
Beat whipped topping and pudding mix until stiff.
Pipe stars all over the top of the pie, or just spread evenly over the frozen chocolate layer.
Sprinkle with toppings of your choice, the more the merrier.
