---------------------------
8 oz. Fine quality White Chocolate
5-8 oz. fine Semi-sweet or Bittersweet Chocolate (best if you mix several kinds)
2 pints of whipping cream
2 rounded tablespoons of plain yoghurt
? cup of Myers Dark Rum (the only kind good for cooking)
vanilla extract
2 "cookie style" store-bought pie crusts, (I've cooked with graham cracker, Oreo, chocolate, and shortbread crusts, and the Oreo is far superior to the rest, followed by the shortbread). Tip: save the plastic lid that comes with each pie, remove the label, invert, and use to cover each of the pies before chilling
them.
The goal is to create two identical pies (one for eating now, one for sharing
later). Each pie has a dark chocolate mousse layer topped by a white
chocolate mousse layer. They are best if prepared ahead of time and chilled
for about 2-4 hours.
The dark layer:
Whip one of the pints of whipping cream until whipped. Melt the 5-8 ounces
of semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl with half (1/8 cup) of the
rum for 1 to 2 minutes and stir until smooth. Add the yoghurt, and stir until
smooth. Then blend into the whipped cream the dark chocolate mixture with a
whisk until homogenous. Place ? of the mixture into each of the pie crusts.
The light layer:
Whip one of the pints of whipping cream until whipped. Melt the 8 ounces of
white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl with the rest of the rum (1/8 cup)
plus 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract for about 1? minutes, and stir until smooth.
Blend this white chocolate mixture into the whipped cream with a whisk. Pour
-- gently -- into the pie crusts, over the dark chocolate mousse. The pies
should be generously filled to almost overflowing by the time you're done.
Chill.
Hank's wonderful variation: Instead of using two kinds of chocolate, skip the
white chocolate step, double the amounts in the dark chocolate part (being
sure you use at least 1 pound of dark chocolate per quart of whipped cream
or even more), and enjoy a superb dark chocolate mousse pie.
