Producer: Mehak Pal Editor: Mohit Bisht
We all love chocolates and chocolate desserts. Try this yummy chocolate mud pie recipe this Chocolate Day to impress your partner.
Heat oven to 180C/160C. In a food processor, whizz the biscuits to a fine crumb. Pour in the melted butter and pulse briefly to mix well. Spoon into a 24cm pie dish and press into the base and up the sides.
Now, bake in the oven for 10 mins to firm up. To make the brownie layer, melt the butter and chocolate together in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until pale, fluffy, and doubled in size, then add the sugar and whisk until thickened. Fold in the chocolate mixture, then sieve in the flour and fold in.
Pour into the baked biscuit case and return to the oven for 15-20 minutes until the brownie has a crust on top. Set aside and leave to cool.
Once the brownie base is cooled, put the custard, chocolate, and vanilla in a pan and cook over medium heat, stirring, until the chocolate has melted into the custard. Remove from the heat.
Soak the agar in a little cold water and, once mixed, stir into the warm custard mixture until dissolved. Let the custard cool slightly, then pour over the brownie layer.
Now, put it in the fridge for a few hours, or overnight, until set.
Remove the mud pie from the fridge about 30 minutes before serving so that it can come to room temperature for easy slicing. Just before serving, whip the cream to soft peaks and spoon it over the custard layer, then grate over some dark chocolate.
