PIE | CARAMEL CHOCOLATE FILLING | DESSERT

Today one of my friends got back form her annual leave of 30 days, and her house was in shambles, so I decided to send her lunch. Sending her typical Punjabi meal and when I am sending food it can not be without a dessert ( my friends say that my forte is desserts but I think it's baking)

I am doing a "Caramel chocolate pie". I don't know the origin but I found all the ingredients in my kitchen so, this is what it's gonna be. Haven't tried this recipe before but I am following three different recipes to compile this one. 

I have not done a dessert for the blog for a while as my hubby does not have a sweet tooth & at the end I end up polishing it off. ( I have been trying to get rid of some 5 odd kilograms for the past two months and it's just not going off !!!!! ) 

Ingredients 

For the base 

• Butter - 100 grms (chilled)
• All purpose flour - 1cup

For the filling 

• Caramel sauce to cover the base( i bought it from the local market)
• Double whipped cream - 01 cup
• Dark Chocolate ( cooking) - 1/4th of a slab
• Gelatin - 01 tsp
• Warm water - 1/4th cup 

Method

1. Mix flour & butter together till it starts to look like bread crumbs. Press these crumbs in a loses button pie dish & keep in the refrigerators to chill. Bake for 8 mins and keep aside. 
2. In a double boiler melt chocolate slab.
3. Now whip cream in medium speed for about 10 mins or till soft peaks form.
4. Add the chocolate & cream together and give a a light whisk.
5. Pour the chocolate cream mix over the pie base which we made in the beginning. keep aside.
6. In a bowl pour mix gelatin & warm water, wait till it thickens, mix this mixture to the caramel sauce & pour on the top of the pie.
7. Refrigerate for an hour before serving. Dust coco powder if desired.
