Leprechaun pie
Attract all the leprechauns in your neighbourhood with this heavenly green pie filled with white chocolate mousse. Flavoured with mint or vanilla, its absolutely delicious for St. Patrick's day, or for dessert any day.
Ingredients
5 squares (1-oz./28 g each) white chocolate
1/4 cup (50 mL) whipping cream
4 oz. (125 g) cream cheese, softened
1/2 tsp. (2 mL) liquid green food colouring
1/2 tsp. (2 mL) vanilla or peppermint extract
1/2 cup (125 mL) icing sugar
1 cup (250 mL) whipping cream, whipped until stiff
1 9-inch (23 cm) graham cracker or chocolate crumb crust
1/2 cup (125 mL) mint chocolate chips or green melting wafers (the kind for candy-making)
additional candies or sprinkles, if desired
Cooking Instructions
1. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate and 1/4 cup (50 mL) of the whipping cream. Microwave on high power, 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each time, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
2. With an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese, the vanilla or peppermint extract, the green food colouring and the icing sugar into the chocolate mixture until everything is evenly blended.
3. Gently fold in the whipped cream, taking care not to deflate the cream, until no white streaks remain.
4. Spoon into the prepared crumb crust, cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
5. Melt the chocolate chips or green melting wafers in a double boiler over hot water, stirring until smooth. Drizzle over top of the chilled pie, then return to the refrigerator until set. If you wish, you can decorate the top of the pie with additional green candies or sprinkles before serving.
How kids can help Spoon the filling into the pie shell. Decorate the pie with drizzled chocolate and other decorations.
Makes 6 to 8 servings.
