RED WINE CHOCOLATE PUDDING PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a medium sized bowl, stir together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
• Firmly press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9 or 10 inch pie pan.
• Bake for 6-8 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let cool before filling with the chocolate pudding mixture.
• Place bittersweet chocolate and butter into a large bowl. Set aside.
• Heat the heavy cream and Merlot in a small saucepan over medium heat until hot (about when it starts to bubble around the edges). You don't want to mixture to boil.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the coffee, cocoa, sugar, and salt until smooth.
• Pour hot mixture over chocolate/butter and whisk until smooth.
• Pour mixture into cooled pie crust.
• Cover with plastic (the plastic will stick to the top of the pudding - that's good) and chill until the pie has set, at least 6 hours.
• Garnish with whipped cream, maraschino cherries, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, and shaved bittersweet chocolate.
• Serve and enjoy!

BOTTLE OF WINE CHOCOLATE PIE

Steps:

• For the crust: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F.
• Toss together the cookie crumbs, butter, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Press into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan. Bake until dry and set, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
• For the filling: Combine the cornstarch and 1 1/4 cups of the sugar in a medium saucepan and very slowly whisk in the wine to prevent lumps from forming. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it has come to a simmer and is very thick, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate, butter and salt until smooth. Pour the filling into the cooled crust and refrigerate until chilled and set, about 4 hours and up to overnight.
• Right before serving, whip the cream with the remaining 3 tablespoons sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Top the pie with the whipped cream. Scatter the chocolate curls or sprinkles over the top, if using.
