Pie No. Xv – Mississippi Mud Pie

Mississippi Mud Pie – a deliciously low-cal pie amongst a prissy chocolate flavor, crunchy transcend as well as soft cake-light middle wrapped upwardly inwards an piece of cake chocolate crust.

Pie publish fifteen was actually interesting as well as fun to make.  After final week’s frustrating pie adventure, I idea I’d lost my baking mojo – but it’s back!  I was really pleased how this turned out but was a footling surprised that it was to a greater extent than cake-like than I expected.

Real Mississippi Mud is sort of mucilaginous as well as then I assumed this would live to a greater extent than fudgy-brownie like.  This recipe came from Cooking Light Magazine as well as then it is a flake healthier than some I’ve made as well as then far this year.  At 277 calories as well as 10.2 grams of fat, it was a welcome modify from the high-fat pies of the past times few months.  One of the most interesting things near this pie is the chocolate crust.

You volition bespeak flour, sugar, unsweetened cocoa, salt, shortening, butter, H2O ice water, cooking spray, semi-sweet chocolate chips, egg whites, Dutch procedure cocoa as well as non pictured, baking pulverization as well as vanilla.

To ready crust, add together 1 loving cup flour, two tablespoons sugar, two tablespoons unsweetened cocoa as well as 1/4 teaspoon common salt as well as identify inwards a nutrient processor. Pulse two times or until blended. Add shortening as well as chilled butter. Pulse six times or until mixture resembles coarse meal. With processor on, slow pour H2O ice H2O through chute, processing only until blended (do non let dough to cast a ball). Remove from bowl. Gently press mixture into a 4-inch circle; roll inwards plastic wrap. Chill xxx minutes.   Fit dough, plastic roll side up, into a 9-inch pie plate coated amongst cooking spray.  Remove remaining plastic wrap.

 Fold edges under, as well as flute.

Set aside piece preparing the filling.  Isn’t that a really interesting crust?  Just evidently fun!

 

 To ready filling, identify iii tablespoons butter as well as chocolate inwards a microwave-safe bowl.

 Microwave at HIGH xxx seconds or until butter as well as chocolate melt, stirring good to combine.

Place vanilla as well as egg whites inwards a large bowl.

Beat amongst a mixer at medium speed until foamy.

Gradually add together 1 loving cup sugar; musical rhythm out until soft peaks cast (about two minutes).

Gently add together melted chocolate to egg whites.

Stir gently only until blended.  Set aside.

Measure 1/3 Dutch procedure cocoa, 3/4 loving cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, as well as dash of salt.

Whisk until blended.  Fold the dry out mixture into the egg whites.

Pour mixture into prepared crust.

Bake at 350 degrees for forty minutes or until a wooden alternative inserted inwards centre comes out clean.

Cool on a wire rack until serving.

This pie has a low-cal chocolate flavor, a crunchy transcend as well as soft cake-light middle.

I ended upwardly amongst four egg yolks as well as figured it was a dandy fourth dimension to brand homemade vanilla H2O ice cream.

The H2O ice cream was perfect on this pie (recipe to live posted afterward this week).  The pie is non really sweetness as well as then the sweetness creamy vanilla was a wonderful compliment to the chocolate.
