ULTIMATE MUD PIE

Steps:

• 1 Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly butter a 9-inch pie pan.
• 2 To make the crust, combine the crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a medium bowl until moistened. Press firmly and evenly into the pie pan. Bake until the crust is set and smells like warm cookies, about 12 minutes. Cool completely.
• 3 To make the filling, in a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat 2 1/2 cups of the half-and-half, the sugar, and the salt, stirring often to dissolve the sugar, until simmering. Pour into a heatproof bowl. Rinse out the saucepan.
• 4 In a small bowl, sprinkle the cornstarch over the remaining 1/2 cup half-and-half and whisk until dissolved. Whisk the yolks in a medium bowl, and gradually whisk in the cornstarch mixture. Gradually whisk in the hot half-and-half mixture and return to the rinsed-out saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a flat wooden spatula (to keep the mixture from scorching), until it comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture bubble, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Remove from the heat, add the chocolate, butter, and vanilla, and whisk until the chocolate melts completely. Strain through a wire sieve into a clean bowl.

• 6 To make the topping, whip the cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla in a chilled medium bowl with an electric mixer set on high speed until stiff. Uncover the pie. Spread and swirl the topping over the filling. (If you wish, transfer the whipped cream to a pastry bag fitted with a star tip, and pipe the cream onto the pie.) Sprinkle pie with cookie crumbs. Slice and serve chilled.

NO-BAKE PEANUT BUTTER GANACHE MUD PIE

Steps:

• Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by turning the base so the lip is on the underside and latching the pan in place. Spray the pan lightly with nonstick spray and line bottom with parchment.
• For the crust: Place the butter and chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl or cup and microwave until melted, 30 to 40 seconds. Stir in the espresso and salt. Place the cookie crumbs in a medium bowl. Drizzle in the butter mixture and toss until evenly moistened. Pour the crumbs into the prepared pan. Use your fingertips to press the crumbs about 1 inch up the side of the pan. Use the bottom of a measuring cup or flat-bottom glass to press the crumbs securely over the base of the pan place. Place the crust in the freezer.
• For the ganache: Combine the chocolate chips, cream, peanut butter and salt in the top of a double boiler or in a metal bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water. Heat, stirring once the chocolate begins to melt, until the mixture is smooth. Pour half of the ganache into the crust and use a spoon to spread it evenly. Set the crust aside while you prepare the filling.
• For the mousse: Whip 1 cup of the heavy cream together with 1/4 cup of the confectioners' sugar with an electric mixer until medium peaks form. Transfer to a medium bowl and set
• aside. In the same mixer bowl, combine the remaining 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons confectioners'

• With a rubber spatula, fold 1/3 of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture to lighten
• it. Gently fold in the remaining whipped cream just until combined; a few streaks of whipped
• cream are okay. Gently spoon 1/2 the mousse into the crust, smoothing it out towards the edges of the pan and mounding it slightly towards the center. Drizzle the remaining ganache over the mousse. Spoon the rest of the mousse into the pan and spread it to the edges of the crust. Smooth the mousse with an offset spatula, creating swoops in the mousse if desired. Sprinkle with the chocolate chips and peanuts around the edges of the pie. Refrigerate overnight before slicing and serving.

INDIVIDUAL MUD PIES

Steps:

• Roughly chop the cake trimmings and put them in a mixing bowl with the espresso. Mash them together with a fork until the cake has completely crumbled and the liquid is evenly distributed. Set aside.
• To make the chocolate mousse: Heat 3/4 cup heavy cream in a heavy saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. While the cream is heating, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl for 1 minute, then add the hot cream in a slow stream, whisking vigorously until combined.
• Pour the custard back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, until the custard registers 160˚F on a kitchen thermometer. (It is important to stir constantly and scrape the bottom and sides of the pan, because you don't want the eggs to cook through and solidify. If you do notice some solids, strain the custard when you remove it from the heat.)
• Remove the custard from the heat and pour it into a bowl. Stir in the vanilla and set aside.
• Heat the chocolate in a bowl over a double boiler. Stir constantly with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until the chocolate is melted. Add a large spoonful of custard to the chocolate, mix it together, then pour the chocolate into the custard, stirring constantly as you pour.
• Whip the remaining 1 1/4 cups cream in a standing mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium-high speed until it forms firm peaks. Whisk a large spoonful of whipped cream into the chocolate custard to lighten the consistency, then gently but thoroughly fold in the remaining cream.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and let the mousse chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight.
• To make the fudge sauce: Heat the chocolate, cream, corn syrup, and butter in a bowl over a double boiler. Stir constantly with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until the chocolate has melted entirely and the ingredients have combined. Remove the bowl from the heat, and let the fudge sauce sit at room temperature to cool.
• Scoop a large spoonful of cake crumbs into each of 6 serving glasses (martini glasses, wineglasses, or small tumblers work well) and press the cake with your fingers to form a dense layer over the bottom of the glass. (Save about half the crumbs to make a second layer.)
• Distribute the chocolate mousse evenly among the 6 glasses. Shake each glass slightly so that the mousse settles.
• Add another spoonful of cake crumbs to cover the mousse.
• Pour the fudge sauce in a thin layer (about 1/4 inch thick) to coat the crumbs, then put the glasses in the refrigerator until the dessert sets, about 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
• Once the dessert has set, top each with whipped cream and any other toppings you have chosen. Serve the desserts immediately or within 2 hours.
• The espresso or liqueur adds another element of flavor to the dish, but for a noncaffeinated, nonalcoholic version, you can use simple syrup instead. To make the simple syrup, put 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir and continue to boil until the sugar has fully dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and cool the syrup to room temperature before using.

Steps:

• Lightly grease a 9 1/2-inch deep dish pie plate with cooking spray; set aside.

Transfer cookie mixture to the prepared pie dish and press evenly onto the bottom and up the sides of dish to form a crust. Place in a refrigerator until ready to use.
• Microwave fudge topping, 30 seconds to 1 minute, until runny. Set aside and let cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
