Caramel Mudslide Pie Recipes

MUDSLIDE PIE

Steps:

• Lightly grease a 9 1/2-inch deep dish pie plate with cooking spray; set aside.
• Combine dark chocolate sandwich cookies, butter, and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped and mixture sticks together when pinched with your fingers, about 20 times. 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.
• Remove crust from the refrigerator and spread softened coffee ice cream evenly over the bottom. Drizzle 1/4 cup fudge topping over ice cream. Place in a freezer until firm, about 45 minutes.
• Combine cream, coffee liqueur, Irish cream liqueur, and vanilla extract in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat until stiff peaks almost form, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Fold sweetened condensed milk into whipped cream mixture until combined and mixture is light and fluffy. Fold in 1/2 cup chopped espresso beans.
• Remove pie from the freezer and top with the whipped cream mixture. Freeze until cream mixture has hardened, about 2 hours.
• Repeat process of microwaving remaining 1/4 cup fudge topping and cooling slightly. Remove pie from the freezer and drizzle fudge topping over the cream layer. Top with the remaining espresso beans. Return to the freezer until completely frozen, 8 hours or overnight.
• Remove from the freezer 10 minutes before serving. Slice and serve immediately.

CARAMEL MUDSLIDE PIE

Steps:

• Place 20 of the sandwich cookies in food processor. Cover; process, using quick on-and-off motions, until fine crumbs form. Add melted butter. Cover; process until combined. Press mixture in bottom and up side of ungreased 9-inch glass pie plate. Freeze 15 minutes.
• In large bowl, mix ice cream and both liqueurs until combined. Spoon into crust. Cover with plastic wrap; freeze 6 hours or overnight.
• Remove pie from freezer 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Meanwhile, crush remaining 6 sandwich cookies. Cut pie into 8 slices. Garnish each slice with dollop of whipped cream; drizzle with caramel topping and sprinkle with crushed cookies.

MUDSLIDE PIE

Steps:

• For the mudslide cocktail blend: Whisk together the coffee liqueur, Irish cream liqueur and vodka. Set aside.
• For the chocolate cookie crumb crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch pie plate generously with cooking spray.
• Pulse the espresso beans and sugar in a food processor until finely ground. Add the chocolate wafers and pulse until finely ground. Add the melted butter and pulse until the crumbs are moist. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie plate. Bake until set, about 8 minutes (if the crust puffs up at all, it can be pushed down with the back of a spoon). Let the crust cool completely on a wire rack.
• For the mudslide fudge and filling: Warm the fudge sauce in the microwave on high until pourable, about 1 minute. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of the mudslide cocktail blend; set aside.
• Set the ice cream out at room temperature for 5 minutes. Quarter the ice cream pints with a large serrated knife, peel off the packaging and place the ice cream in a blender. Add 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons of the mudslide cocktail blend and process until it forms a very thick milkshake. Immediately pour it over the cooled crust and transfer the pie to the freezer for 15 minutes.
• Cover the top of the pie with the mudslide fudge using an offset spatula. Cover the pie with plastic, return it to the freezer and freeze until set, at least 6 hours or overnight.
• For the whipped cream: Beat the corn syrup, cocoa and the remaining 3 tablespoons mudslide cocktail blend in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment on medium until smooth. Add the heavy cream, increase the speed to medium-high and beat until stiff peaks form. Transfer the whipped cream to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip, pipe it onto the pie to decorate and return the pie to the freezer until ready to serve.

CARAMEL PIE

Steps:

• In a large pot, place the can of sweetened condensed milk with the label taken off, in the pot and cover with water. Cook on high until water comes to a boil, then turn on medium/high for 4 hours, only adding water to keep the can covered.
• Carefully open can and pour into pie shell. Cool pie in refrigerator. When completely cooled, top with frozen whipped topping. Serve.

OLD FASHIONED CARAMEL PIE

Steps:

• Leave oven on from baking pie shells. Whisk together the 1-2/3 cups sugar and cornstarch in a large (at least 2 qt.) microwaveable bowl until there are no more lumps from the cornstarch. Pour the milk into the sugar mixture and whisk together until smooth. Add the butter to the top of the mixture.
• Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Whisk thoroughly. Microwave for 3 more minutes, whisk again. Have the egg yolks in a separate bowl. Beat them slightly. Add a tablespoon full of the hot mixture at a time to the egg yolks, stirring well after each addition. Do this until the yolk mixture is warm. (This will keep it from getting lumpy.) Then add the yolk mixture to the cooked mixture. Microwave in one minute increments, whisking each time, until the mixture is of pudding consistency. Whisk in the vanilla. Set aside.
• Put the 2/3 cup sugar into a small iron skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, on high until brown and bubbling. It will look like it's going to boil over. Pour IMMEDIATELY into cooked filling and whisk thoroughly. Divide between the 2 pie shells.
• Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar (if using) until foamy and slightly holding shape. Turn beaters on low speed. Add the 3/4 cup sugar. After sugar is mixed in, turn beaters on high again. Beat until meringue is hard to shake off a spoon (or it stays on beater when you turn off mixer and pull beaters out of bowl). Spread meringue onto filling all the way to the edges.
• Bake about 10 minutes or until brown. Watch closely. Turn off oven, open oven door slightly, and let pies cool in oven for 1 hour. Let pies cool completely on counter. Spray plastic wrap with Pam, cover pies and refrigerate.
