Default Chocolate Tantric Pie

Chocolate Tantric Pie

Adapted from Esalen Cookbook, by Charlie Cascio

This lush, chocolate pie is guaranteed to add some sweet heat to your
Valentine's meal. Of its six ingredients, four of them are thought to be
aphrodisiacal: Chocolate, almonds, ginger and chile. Powers of attraction
aside, this recipe for Chocolate Tantric Pie is unusual and delicious, and
is as easy as pie to prepare.

This is a sweet chocolate pie with the spicy bite of ginger and cayenne
pepper. It's guaranteed to satisfy your sweet tooth, internally warm your
belly, and give you that unmistakable tantric glow. There is very little
work to creating this dessert. For a gluten-free version, omit the pie
shell for a no-bake flourless torte. You can also pour the pie mixture
into a baking dish, just cool before cutting into squares and serve like
fudge.


11/2 cups organic half-and-half or whipping cream
3 cups semisweet organic chocolate chips
1 cup chopped almonds
1 cup chopped candied ginger
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
9-inch pie crust

Over medium heat, bring half-and half or whipping cream to a simmer
in a 1-quart saucepan, stirring to prevent scorching on the bottom.
Whisk as you slowly pour the chocolate chips into the cream and
continue to stir until the chocolate has melted. Stir in half the
almonds and half the ginger. Stir in cayenne if using.
Pour mixture into a pre-baked 9-inch pie shell. Sprinkle and
remaining almonds and ginger on top. Cool until firm, slice, and
serve.

Serves 8.
