Chocolate Black-Bottom Pie


Yield: Serves 6 to 8

Ingredients:

3 1/4 cups heavy cream
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon spiced rum
1 Easy Press-In Pie Crust, made with chocolate wafers
1/2 cup toasted macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Directions:

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, microwave 1 1/4 cups cream until hot, about 3 minutes. Add chocolate and let stand until melted, 5 to 10 minutes. Whisk to combine, then whisk in rum. Pour 1 1/2 cups chocolate mixture into crust (reserve remaining chocolate mixture). Sprinkle nuts over top.
Refrigerate pie 3 hours (or up to 2 days).

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat 2 cups cream with sugar on high until stiff peaks form, 2 minutes. Top pie with whipped cream, then dot with reserved chocolate mixture. With a skewer, gently swirl chocolate through whipped cream.
